ACCA-Qualified Finance Controller | Bookkeeping, Reporting & Controls for Founders and Growing Businesses | Zoho Books · QuickBooks · Xero
I'm a finance professional with 10+ years of experience running the full finance function for real businesses, not just supporting it from the side.
My background spans Deloitte in Bengaluru, McDonald's in Bahrain, and 8 years as the founder and finance lead of Just Shawarma, a multi-brand F&B business I built from a single outlet to 25 locations before a planned exit. I owned everything from daily reconciliations to statutory audits, working capital management, multi-entity reporting, and the systems that held it all together under operational pressure.
I now run TAG Consultancy Solutions, a fractional finance practice working with founders and growing businesses remotely. My clients get clean books, reliable reporting, and a finance function that actually works, without hiring full-time.
I am ACCA-qualified with formal IFRS training and hands-on experience across Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally, Excel, and Power BI. I also build financial dashboards using Python and Streamlit when a spreadsheet is not enough.
I work independently, communicate directly, and treat every client's business with the same attention I gave my own.
