About Sanjiv Saxena

With over 25 years of experience in finance, I specialise in turning complex, high-pressure environments into streamlined, growth-ready operations. My work spans manufacturing-led and multi-entity setups, where accuracy, compliance, and speed are critical. I’m known for building systems that last — reimagining processes, strengthening teams, and using technology to create clarity, accountability, and audit readiness. From navigating challenging GST audits to securing CC limit enhancements, I’ve consistently protected the organisation’s financial health while enabling strategic growth. I’ve implemented ERP-driven calendars, compliance trackers, and cloud-based finance systems to improve accuracy, transparency, and decision-making speed. What sets me apart is my ability to keep finance deeply connected to the business — linking it directly to cost control, inventory, budgeting, and cash flow. I’m calm under pressure, decisive in action, and focused on making finance a driver of growth, not just a gatekeeper. Technical Skills:  ERP Systems (Manufacturing): Hands-on experience with custom ERP software for Technico Industries Ltd. and Hema Engineering Industries Ltd.  Accounting Platforms: Proficient in Microsoft Dynamics Navision (ERP), Tally Prime (Cloud-based), Win Yatra (Travel Industry), ROT Program, and Cruising Power.  Taxation Software: Skilled in Computax, SARAL Relyon, and TAXMANN for direct and indirect tax processes.  Government Portals: Well-versed in operating GST, Income Tax, and Service Tax portals for compliance, filings, and reconciliations.  General IT Proficiency: Adept in Windows environments (95/98/2003/XP), MS Word, MS Excel, and various internet-based applications. For me, success is when finance shifts from closing books to opening opportunities.

Experience

1. General Manager Finance and Accounts

   Govind Rubber Ltd. (GRL)

   Dec 2023 — Present · Delhi, India

   M/s Govind Rubber Limited General Manager-Accounts & Finance | Dec 2023-Present When I think of my role in finance, I don’t see it as just filing returns or balancing ledgers — I see it as safeguarding the organisation’s integrity while keeping the business moving forward. Over the years, I’ve led multi-state GST operations, ensuring every return — GST-R1, R3B, annual GSTR-9 & 9C — was filed on time and reconciled down to the last rupee. I’ve navigated high-stakes GST and IT audits with precision, working alongside consultants, preparing airtight documentation, and responding to notices in a way that closed cases and built trust with regulators. Finalising accounts and filing returns has never been just a checklist for me — it’s about aligning every ledger, meeting every statutory deadline, and making compliance a seamless part of the business rhythm. From TDS/TCS deductions to vendor payments, every process I’ve touched has been streamlined to remove delays, penalties, and mismatches. At a national level, I’ve centralised accounting across branches, enforced credit discipline through smart MIS tracking, and made daily financial data — from raw material purchases to sales collections — instantly visible to decision-makers. My reports aren’t just numbers; they’re real-time insights that leadership uses to act, not just react. Beyond finance, I’ve partnered with Company Secretaries to ensure ROC compliance, handled CC limit renewals with banks, and managed import–export documentation so operations never stalled for regulatory reasons. What sets me apart is my ability to bridge compliance with business needs — bringing precision, foresight, and structure to every financial touchpoint while enabling board members to make faster, better-informed decisions.

2. Senior Account Manager

   M/S TIRUN Travel Marketing, India & TIRUN Travel Marketing Pte Ltd, Singapore

   Nov 2020 — Dec 2023 · Delhi, India

   M/S Tirun Travel Marketing, India & Singapore Sr Manager-Accounts & Compliances (India) | Nov 2020-Dec 2023 When I took charge of our finance function, I was handed the responsibility of uniting numbers, people, and processes across seven branches spanning India & Singapore. I brought them all under a single, transparent lens by integrating cloud-based ERP systems like Tally ERP & Microsoft Navision—ensuring every branch spoke the same accounting language & decision-makers had real-time insights. At head office, I streamlined accounting to work hand-in-hand with centralized banking systems, so cash flow monitoring, standardized reporting, and growth-ready planning became second nature rather than a monthly scramble. Accuracy & integrity weren’t just goals—they became the baseline for every ledger, regardless of geography. The GST era brought its own challenges. I led compliance from return filings to ITC reconciliations, navigating audits and even tackling mismatches from the chaotic early days of implementation. By collaborating with vendors, tracing historical invoices, and resolving disputes, I turned potential penalties into clean closures. I also handled direct & indirect tax compliance—TDS, TCS filings—while supporting legal teams in securing resolutions in high-level scrutiny cases. Audits stopped being a stress point. I built proactive controls, aligned them with evolving statutory frameworks, and worked closely with statutory auditors and advisors to minimize risk and delays. Beyond conventional finance, I managed cruise booking transactions and foreign remittances—leveraging tools like Cruising Power for group reporting —while staying compliant with FEMA and cross-border norms. Payroll, too, was re-engineered. I ensured fair, timely TDS computations and submission of PF, ESI, and Gratuity obligations. For me, finance leadership isn’t just about numbers—it’s about building a system that inspires trust, withstands scrutiny, and fuels growth.

3. Senior Account Manager

   M/s Technico Industries Ltd.

   Feb 2020 — Sep 2020 · Gurugram, Haryana, India

   When I took charge of group-level finance and accounting, my goal was clear — create a system where every plant & the corporate office spoke the same financial language. I built processes that ensured our books were always audit-ready, deadlines weren’t negotiable, and compliance was a given — not an afterthought. Budget season was more than just numbers. Partnering with the CFO, I translated forecasts into actionable, plant-wise & consolidated plans, ensuring every unit knew its financial path. I fixed long-standing delays in balance sheet finalization by streamlining data flow between units, turning a bottleneck into a smooth, reliable process. Each month, I deep-dived into profitability metrics and budget variances, not just reporting gaps but helping plant heads course-correct — whether it was controlling costs or re-aligning profit targets. Strategic cash flow projections became a tool for smarter decision-making, helping allocate funds exactly where and when they were needed. On the cost front, I introduced benchmarks rooted in market realities & past performance, giving leadership real-time visibility into spend patterns. Any overrun triggered immediate collaboration with plant teams to fix the leak — embedding a culture of fiscal discipline without stalling production. Compliance wasn’t just about ticking boxes. I managed GST, TDS & tax reconciliations across multiple plants with precision, ensuring we were 100% audit-ready at all times. Maintaining a clean Fixed Asset Register meant our asset tracking, audits & capex planning were on point. I also ensured month-end closures ran like clockwork, from EMIs & accruals to vendor ageing & receivable tracking. Inventory was another priority — I bridged ERP records with physical stock counts, eliminated discrepancies, and tightened gate pass controls to cut down on leakages. For me, finance leadership isn’t just about managing numbers — it’s about creating the visibility, discipline, and keep business future-ready.
