What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to leverage my accounting and analytical background in budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, financial modeling, and business performance analysis.

At PwC SDC, I executed US external audit procedures for private companies and analyzed financial statements to identify variances, trends, and potential misstatements. I also performed substantive testing and prepared and reviewed audit workpapers.

At Deloitte USI, I analyzed US GAAP financial statements and disclosures, investigated unusual movements, and documented process walkthroughs across several business cycles. My work included revenue testing under ASC 606 and IFRS 15, SOX controls testing, and journal entry testing.

At De Chakraborty & Sen, I prepared financial statements and audit reports and performed statutory audits. I also handled statutory dues testing, bank reconciliations, and tax and ROC compliance.

I'm a Chartered Accountant with a background in US audit and a focus on moving into FP&A. I'm seeking to contribute my accounting and analytical experience to budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, financial modeling, and business performance analysis.
