Profile

The precision behind
every number

ACCA
ACCA Affiliate
Association of Chartered Certified Accountants · Advanced Diploma in Accounting & Business

I'm an ACCA Affiliate and Senior Accountant with a career spanning India, Dubai, and Qatar — specialising in UAE tax compliance, GL precision, and multi-entity financial reporting.

Most recently at Darwish Group, Doha, I designed an intercompany reconciliation system eliminating persistent discrepancies across 6+ entities, and led a complete ERP migration from Orion to Odoo. Before that, at Charles & Darwish Associates, Dubai, I managed 4–6 client portfolios handling full-cycle accounting, UAE VAT filings, and financial statements.

My career began as an Internal Audit Associate at Deloitte, Chennai — building the analytical rigour and compliance mindset I bring to every role.
