Seeking a finance leadership role where I can leverage my 17+ years of experience to lead end-to-end accounting operations, financial reporting, accounts payable, variance analysis, and internal controls, taking ownership of financial accuracy, process improvement, and cross-functional collaboration in remote or hybrid environments. Currently, at Ankit Sajwan Ministries Trust, I oversee daily finance operations, leading a remote team of 20 across accounts payable, vendor payments, banking, cash flow, procurement, and compliance documentation. I focus on maintaining financial discipline, strengthening controls, and ensuring timely and accurate financial transactions. Previously, at Anshuman Gupta & Co., I advised trusts and startups on end-to-end accounting, internal audits, financial reporting, and budgeting, reducing operational costs by 20% and internal audit findings by 30%. At Stewart Group of Schools, I managed comprehensive accounting and finance functions, including accounts payable, revenue cycle management, general ledger, reconciliations, banking relationships, and board-level financial reporting. Through process improvements and financial oversight, I reduced reconciliation errors by 25% and contributed to revenue growth. I bring a hands-on, control-oriented approach to finance, combining operational ownership with analytical insight to ensure reliable financial reporting, effective resource allocation, strong governance, and informed business decisions.
