About

Chartered Accountant with hands-on experience in financial analysis, statutory audits, and corporate accounting within a Big 4 environment. At PwC Acceleration Center India, I worked extensively on analyzing financial statements, evaluating internal controls, and ensuring compliance with U.S. GAAP and regulatory requirements. My work involved identifying and explaining financial variances, validating key account balances, and supporting audit conclusions through structured analysis and documentation. This exposure strengthened my understanding of how financial data reflects business performance and operational realities. I am particularly interested in roles within Business Finance, FP&A, and Controllership, where I can contribute to budgeting, performance tracking, and decision-support while continuing to deepen my commercial and analytical skills.
