About Praveen Gudala

I have around 12 years of experience working as an SAP FICO Consultant, with strong hands-on experience in S/4 HANA and ECC Greenfield implementations. I hold an MBA in Finance and have worked across various industries, helping clients set up and improve their financial systems. My main skills include working with General Ledger (GL), Accounts Payable (AP), Accounts Receivable (AR), and Asset Accounting (AA). I also have good knowledge of how SAP FICO connects with other modules like SD and MM. Over the years, I’ve been involved in the full project cycle—starting from gathering requirements, configuring the system, testing, training users, and supporting them after the system goes live. I’ve worked closely with business users and technical teams to make sure the solutions meet client needs and follow best practices. Having Valid H1B
