About

CMA-qualified finance professional with strong foundational exposure to internal audit, financial compliance, and business process evaluation. Developed a deep interest in the analytical and decision-making side of finance while working closely with business processes during audit assignments. Through hands-on experience in GST and TDS audits, process reviews, and control testing, I gained a strong understanding of how financial data flows across functions and impacts business performance. This exposure sparked my interest in FP&A and Record-to-Report roles, where finance goes beyond compliance into driving insights, reporting accuracy, and strategic decision-making. I am particularly interested in: Financial planning, budgeting, and forecasting Variance analysis and MIS reporting Month-end close and financial reporting Business performance analysis and decision support Key strengths include analytical thinking, attention to detail, and a structured approach to problem-solving. I have consistently demonstrated discipline and academic excellence, clearing all CMA levels in the first attempt with exemptions in multiple subjects. Currently seeking opportunities in FP&A and R2R roles where I can contribute to financial reporting, analysis, and business insights while building a long-term career in corporate finance.
