01 If this is your week
You're not short on data. You're short on a decision.
a
The board meeting is Thursday and budget, actuals and forecast live in three files nobody has reconciled.
b
Every tool promised clarity — and gave you one more dashboard to check and still no answer.
c
You're about to write a cheque — an acquisition, a new store, a hire — and no one has stress-tested the downside.
d
You suspect a number is wrong but can't prove it, so decisions get made on the loudest voice in the room.
"I don't need more reports. I need someone who can look at all of it and tell me — plainly — what it means and what I should do."
That's the job. Not another vendor bolting on software you'll never open twice — a Chartered Accountant who sits on your side of the table, reads the numbers like a story, and hands you a decision you can defend to your board, your bank and yourself.
02 What I actually am
Not another dashboard vendor. A decision partner with a professional charter behind every number.
I'm a Chartered Accountant and member of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of India — one of the world's largest and most respected professional accounting bodies — trained in the same discipline that audits listed companies and signs off the accounts markets trust. That charter isn't a badge; it's a standard of integrity, confidentiality and technical rigour I'm bound to on every engagement. Add a Bachelor of Laws and AI credentials from the Wharton School and the University of Pennsylvania, and you get a partner who is technically sound, ethically anchored, and fluent in the tools that make finance faster — full-service decision support, not a software licence.

06 How the work actually happens
From messy data to a decision you can defend.
Most founders don't have a data problem — they have a translation problem. Numbers exist, but nobody turns them into a clear, board-ready answer. Here is the exact path every engagement follows, so you know what you're buying before you spend a rupee or a dollar.
01
Listen & map the question
We start with the decision you actually need to make — a pricing call, a hire, an acquisition, a board ask — not a dashboard wish-list. I map every data source you already have and find the gaps.

02
Clean, model & reconcile
Budget, actuals and forecast get reconciled into one source of truth. I build the financial model — cohorts, unit economics, scenarios — with every assumption written down and testable.
FP&A · modelling
03
Find the story in the numbers
This is the part software skips. I read the model like a story: what's driving margin, where cash leaks, which lever moves the needle — and I stress-test the downside before you do.
Analysis · insight
04
Deliver the decision, plainly
You get a plain-English recommendation with the numbers behind it — one page a board can read in five minutes, and the full model to defend it. Then I help you execute and track it.
