From a young age, I’ve always been excited by numbers. I standout in every math class from my primary to my higher studies (not talking about physics – I’m very bad at it). So, after my high school, I looked for a professional certification and enrolled in ACCA. Today, I am Certified Chartered Accountant & Bookkeeper. I love getting to grips with numbers and complex data to solve problems and support business success.
With over 7 years of experience in accounting, bookkeeping & financial services. I have built a reputation for enhancing the performance of finance departments of my clients.
In my previous role as Assistant Manager in a consultancy firm, I was engaged directly or indirectly with around 150+ clients of the firm (ranging from Sole Proprietor to Public Listed Companies). I prepare financial reports and statements while managing a range of finance-related tasks and advices for my clients with my young, enthusiastic and energetic team members. I also analyze financial information to enable informed decision-making for my clientele.
My key successes during my time in this role include:
- Enhanced the efficiency of the management accountancy process by implementing new software. (because tech is future) #Fintech
- Eliminated the need for an additional three staff members by motivating my current staff to take more responsibility and to optimize working papers for efficient results.
- Managed to retain 100% clients which was assigned to me, through my technical skills, persuasive nature of conversation and sometimes being very straight forward with them.
- Was directly and indirectly involved in more than 25 external audits in last year, which results in my firm earning more than Rs. 3.5 million per annum.
