ABOUT GAYATHRI BALAKRISHNAN

A Finance and Accounting Analyst with over six years of experience across global financial institutions, including Wells Fargo, Mr. Cooper, and currently Signifi Solutions. My core expertise lies in financial reconciliation, inventory accounting, investor reporting, and end-to-end process optimization. Throughout my career, I have worked on complex custodial account reconciliations, managed over 80 investor portfolios monthly, and supported the accurate settlement of millions in fund movements. At Signifi, I oversee over $1.2M USD in inventory transactions and have successfully streamlined accounts payable workflows by leading the transition to the Odoo ERP system, reducing invoice processing time by 25%. In my previous roles, I resolved more than 2,800 legacy account discrepancies and improved balance sheet reporting accuracy by 19% through process automation and root cause analysis. I combine my accounting knowledge with strong business analysis skills. I’ve gathered requirements, identified gaps in reporting structures, and supported pre/post-production system implementations. With a working knowledge of SQL, VBA, and advanced Excel, I regularly produce data-driven insights and financial models to support decision-making. I’m passionate about leveraging both analytical and operational strengths to solve complex financial challenges, improve efficiency, and contribute to strategic business initiatives. Now based in Canada, I’m looking to grow in dynamic environments where I can apply my hybrid finance-business analysis background to support scalable, data-driven accounting functions.
