About Me

I am a finance and accounting professional with hands-on experience across auditing, accounts receivable, and accounts payable. My work has always been rooted in precision — ensuring every figure is reconciled, every discrepancy is traced, and every process is tighter than before.

But precision alone is not my ambition. I am actively transitioning from operational execution into strategic management — contributing to financial decisions that shape business outcomes, not just record them.

"I don't just want to close the books — I want to write the chapter on how the business grows."

With a foundation in reconciliation, compliance, and financial reporting, I bring a systems-level view of how money moves through organisations. I see accounting not as a back-office function, but as the intelligence engine that powers smarter decisions at every level.

Where I am today

Operational accounting — AR management, AP processing, audit support, bank reconciliation, financial reporting.

Where I'm heading

Financial management, strategic planning, CFO-track roles — where analytical insight drives business decisions.

What drives me

Building systems that reduce risk, improve cash flow visibility, and turn accounting data into actionable strategy.

Education

Bachelor's in Finance & Accounting. Pursuing professional certifications. Based in Kathmandu, Nepal.
