What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercial finance, FP&A, and business partnering work where I can strengthen forecasting, profitability, financial controls, and decision-making for complex revenue portfolios.

At Dentsu, I lead commercial finance for a 40+ Cr business across 15+ locations, driving budgeting, forecasting, revenue planning, and financial closure.

I've been promoted twice in 4.5 years and recognized as Best Employee of the Quarter (Q2 2026). I turn variance analysis, pipeline tracking, and MIS dashboards into actionable insights for senior leadership.

Previously at Digitas, I managed financial close, accounts receivable, budgets, rolling forecasts, job estimates, and purchase orders across multiple client portfolios. I also standardized finance processes and supported revenue opportunity and risk analysis through Salesforce reporting.

My earlier work at Axis Trustee Services and Shriram Pistons and Rings combined finance operations with regulatory compliance, audit support, and stakeholder management. As a qualified Company Secretary, I bring disciplined financial controls, business partnering, and operational focus to complex finance environments.
