About Hemangi Topare

I am a Chartered Accountant (Jan’26, First Attempt) and B.Com graduate from The KET’s V. G. Vaze College of Arts, Science & Commerce (Autonomous) with a strong academic record (CGPA 9.23) and hands-on experience in Internal Audit, SOX, and IFC testing across multiple industries. I am now focused on transitioning into Strategy Finance, Business Finance, and FP & A roles, where I can leverage my strengths in financial analysis, business acumen, risk assessment, process improvement, and data-driven decision-making. I bring strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, stakeholder communication, multitasking ability, and a high level of integrity—qualities essential for delivering meaningful business insights.
