An accomplished finance professional with qualifications in ACCA and CS, I bring expertise across diverse facets of finance. My experience includes various auditing roles, such as statutory audits for corporates and financial institutions, and revenue audits uncovering significant discrepancies. In the realm of taxation, I've prepared reports for various clients and filed numerous income tax returns. My involvement in financial reporting extends to finalizing books of accounts for both corporate and non-corporate entities. On a personal development note, I am currently undergoing training to become a certified yoga instructor (200RYS under Yoga Alliance). Let's connect for insightful discussions and potential collaborations in the ever-evolving field of finance!
