## 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\.
