Who I Am

Finance professional with a bias for clarity and impact

I'm a CA Inter-qualified finance professional with over five years of hands-on experience across financial reporting, MIS automation, budgeting, and statutory audits. I've worked in fast-paced environments — from infrastructure investment trusts to Big-4-caliber audit firms — where precision and speed both matter.

My core strength is translating raw financial data into sharp, actionable management insights. Whether it's building automated MIS in Excel, handling Ind AS 116 lease workings, or extracting KPI dashboards from SAP — I focus on making finance work faster and smarter.
