What I'm looking for

I seek a finance leadership role focused on FP&A, performance analysis, forecasting and investment insights in a collaborative, data-driven organisation that values automation and strategic decision support.

I am a Chartered Accountant with CFA Level I cleared and experience as a Manager in Insights & Advisory, focused on financial strategy, forecasting and performance analysis to support executive decision-making.

At my current role I prepare and review monthly performance analysis, risk appetite statements and cash flow and balance-sheet forecast models; I partnered with global teams to consolidate finance decks, risk statements and FX exposure reports while automating MI processes using VBA to reduce TAT.

Earlier, as an articled assistant I led statutory, tax and GST audits across sectors, reviewed recovery processes for a large NBFC, drove impairment provisioning aligned to Ind AS, and identified statutory compliance issues that enabled corrective action.

I bring strong technical skills in financial modelling, forecasting, reporting and workflow automation, plus leadership and collaboration that improve operational efficiency and reporting transparency. I aim to apply data-driven recommendations and robust controls to help organisations make high-quality strategic decisions.
