01 — About

I don't just crunch numbers. I build the financial backbone that growing companies actually need. I am a finance professional and CA finalist juggling multiple Virtual CFO mandates at once. I take messy books, tight cash flow, and compliance pressure, and transform them into clear, fundable strategies.

From the ledger to the boardroom

My discipline was built during my articleship at Doshi Jain & Co., where compliance and audit rigor became second nature. Today, I sit on the other side of the table—advising founders on the raw numbers that decide whether a business survives or scales.

Finance that founders understand

I translate complex spreadsheets into actionable decisions. Beyond the day-to-day operations, I write and teach on LinkedIn about entrepreneurship, building from zero, and exposing the financial traps that kill startups.
