ABOUT ARYA MESTRY

Once upon a time, my journey began in the realm of numbers, led by a passion for unravelling the complexities of business finance. With a Bachelor\'s degree in Financial Accounting and Auditing from the University of Mumbai, I ventured into the bustling streets of Mumbai, India, where I honed my skills as an Article Assistant at CA M.K. Bhiwandikar & Co. In the heart of Mumbai\'s financial district, I delved deep into the world of tax compliance, audit procedures, and financial management. Through meticulous analysis and strategic planning, I guided over 120 clients through the labyrinth of tax regulations, reducing liabilities by up to 15% and earning a reputation for service excellence. Yet, amidst the spreadsheets and ledgers, I discovered a fervent curiosity for the dynamic world of finance. It was during my tenure as a Financial Sector Analyst at Queen\'s Student Managed Fund (QSMF), my fascination truly blossomed. Collaborating with industry professionals and managing real money investment portfolios, I found myself captivated by the art of valuation, market research, and risk assessment. Embracing this newfound passion, I embarked on a quest for knowledge, pursuing a Master of Science in Accounting and Finance at Queen\'s University Belfast. Here, amidst the ancient halls of academia, I immersed myself in advanced financial analysis methodologies, international accounting standards, and the strategic intricacies of financial management. Fueling my ambition further, I sought out certifications and training in investment banking, mergers & acquisitions, and financial fundamentals. And now, as the chapters of my journey unfold, I stand at the crossroads of opportunity, ready to transition from the realm of accounting to the boundless frontier of finance. Armed with a robust foundation in accounting principles, a thirst for knowledge, and a repertoire of skills ranging from valuation techniques to market research, I am poised to embark on a new adventure.
