IndiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Qualified CPA with 9+ years of experience in Consumer Banking FP&A at Standard Chartered GBS, where I’ve built deep expertise in analyzing business performance, product profitability, and KPI drivers to support senior management decisions. I deliver high-quality review materials for CFOs and MDs, translating financials and non-financial metrics into clear momentum and performance insights across multiple markets.
I’m especially proud of automating and streamlining how finance reporting works—saving 2000+ operational hours and driving large-scale migrations that resulted in an annual cost save of $40k. I also contributed to digital reporting (“On the Go” financials) that reduced manual dependencies by 80%, and led Corporate Plan (AOP) submissions in SAP Cloud Analytics with a macro-driven template used across 30+ markets, saving 500+ hours while ensuring accurate and timely submissions.
