About

I'm a Chartered Accountant (ICAI) with 5+ years of progressive experience across finance leadership, statutory audit, financial reporting, and direct & indirect taxation — working with NSE-listed entities, Big 4 (EY GDS), and high-profile clients including DLF Limited Group Companies. Currently, I lead finance operations for a listed entity and 7+ group companies as Finance Controller — owning financial reporting under AS, SEBI LODR compliance, FP&A, working capital management, and a team of 8 finance professionals. What I bring to the table: → Financial reporting & compliance at scale — Half-yearly and annual financials submitted to NSE; consolidated financial statements covering ₹50,000+ Cr in balance sheet exposure. → Deep taxation expertise — 13 active GST registrations, tax audits (Form 3CD), appeals, assessments, litigation responses, and direct tax compliance for large corporates. → Big 4 audit experience — Delivered assurance engagements at EY GDS under global frameworks (IFRS / US GAAP), working alongside multinational client teams. → First-time Ind AS adoption — Led adoption for an entity with ₹1,000 Cr+ turnover, covering restatements, disclosures, and opening balance sheet preparation. → Finance transformation — Driving AI-enabled expense validation, structured cost coding, and system-based approval workflows to modernise internal controls. Open to remote opportunities with US, Canada, UAE, and global firms — as a Virtual CFO, Finance Controller, or Senior Finance Consultant. I bring the rigour of Big 4 methodology, the breadth of a listed-entity finance leader, and the adaptability to work across time zones and regulatory frameworks. Let's connect if you're looking for a finance professional who can hit the ground running — globally.
