   As a finance professional with hands-on experience in controllership across both multinational and high-growth SaaS environments, I specialize in end-to-end accounting under US GAAP. I manage key aspects of the expense function, including payroll accounting and validation, accruals, investment accounting, R&D expense capitalization, and preparation of cash flow and fund flow statements—all in compliance with US GAAP. I also support internal, statutory, and tax audits and conduct reconciliations related to U.S. employee benefits to identify and resolve anomalies proactively.In addition to core accounting responsibilities, I actively drive automation to enhance efficiency and reduce manual workload. I developed a macro to fully automate payroll journal entries, significantly cutting down processing time and minimizing errors. I also leveraged Google Scripts to automate the R&D capitalization process, streamlining previously manual tasks and reducing turnaround time. These initiatives have not only improved accuracy but also delivered substantial time and resource savings.
