Consultant

Summary
To work as a team with a common goal, is definitely a challenge but the result is rewarding. 7+ years’ experience with an esteemed firm like EY and KPMG, has opened many gates with a wide range of opportunities to learn and explore. Fortunate enough to be one among the hand-picked resources who had the opportunity to travel to United Kingdom. The short-term Business trip to London, UK (2019) from EY have definitely been the icing on the cake. Experience in the Financial Reporting & Planning, Budgeting & Cost control revenue analysis, code creation and compliance management for corporate tax.
