About Sreelakshmi Narayanan

As a Chartered Accountant trained at Deloitte, I spent 1.5 years inside the controls and financial statements of companies across fintech, NBFC, manufacturing, and real estate. I\'ve mapped risk & control matrices, assessed ICoFR design and operating effectiveness, and reported under both Ind AS and IFRS. That\'s not just audit experience — it\'s a deep understanding of how financial information is built, where it breaks, and how to make it decision-ready.Now I\'m channelling that foundation into financial analysis and FP & A. I\'ve built financial models in Excel, worked with SAP, and I\'m actively developing skills in Power BI and SQL for data-driven reporting. I understand the regulatory environment — RBI, FEMA, Companies Act — which makes me useful not just in spreadsheets, but in conversations that matter.What I bring to an FP & A or Financial Reporting team: the ability to trace a variance back to its source, communicate complex numbers clearly to non-finance stakeholders, and build frameworks that hold up under scrutiny — not just month-end.If you\'re hiring for a Financial Analyst, FP & A Analyst, or Financial Reporting role — I\'d welcome a conversation. Feel free to reach out or connect directly. Open to connecting with finance professionals and hiring managers — happy to share my CV on request.
