ACCA-qualified finance professional driving working capital optimisation and revenue growth.
What I'm looking for
I am an ACCA-qualified finance professional with hands-on experience in working capital optimisation, investor reporting, and process transformation. I combine technical accounting knowledge with data-driven decision making to deliver measurable financial outcomes.
At Simpl, I optimised liquidity and cash-flow decisions, reducing borrowing needs and interest costs by 20% while contributing to ~₹75L/month incremental revenue through investor-facing MIS dashboards. I have led unit-economics and ROI analyses that produced ₹50L monthly cost savings and standardised merchant migrations that increased revenue by ₹80L/month.
My technical toolkit includes SAP, Tally, IFRS, Ind AS, PowerBI, and advanced Excel, which I used to build SAP reports reducing GR/IR backlog by ~75% and to create SOPs that halved routine task time. I supported finance transformation efforts including Ind-AS adoption, US C-Corp tax filings, and equity valuation using Black-Scholes.
I communicate effectively with stakeholders across functions, negotiate risk mitigations such as insurance to reduce premiums, and focus on practical solutions that improve cash flow, reduce costs, and enhance customer satisfaction.
