About

Some people starts with theory. I started with a hotel audit — an actual walk-through of 12 operational units of GRT Hotels & Resorts, one of South India's largest hospitality groups. I was verifying cash floats, tracing fixed assets, reconciling inventory — and reporting findings to senior CAs by end of day. That's how I learned audit: by doing it, not by reading about it. After that came RAR Fincare, an NBFC, where I handled loan file documentation and internal control reviews. And running alongside all of it — a freelance practice managing compliance for 20+ clients, from monthly GST filings to income tax returns. What I've built is a working knowledge of how businesses keep their books, where controls break down, and what good documentation actually looks like. I'm now looking to take that into an industry role — accounts, audit, or internal controls — at a company where hands-on experience counts. 📍 Based in Chennai | Open to full-time roles.
