Chartered Accountant

CA by qualification. Leading finance at global scale. Builder by curiosity.

At UrbanPiper, I own finance across four countries — reporting directly to the CEO and CFO. A team of seven. Multi-entity consolidation, compliance, treasury, investor decks. And somewhere along the way, I started building the systems too.

01 — About

Finance meets engineering.

I qualified as a Chartered Accountant, then joined UrbanPiper — a B2B SaaS platform serving 7,900+ restaurants across four countries. What started as managing books for one entity became owning the entire finance function: multi-entity consolidation, transfer pricing, fundraising support, and compliance across India, US, UK, and UAE.

The problem was clear early on — finance at scale breaks when your tools are spreadsheets. Most CAs ask IT for help. I learned to code and built the systems myself. Production software, used daily by the CFO and finance team.

I believe most finance failures aren't accounting problems. They're system problems nobody wants to own. I own both.

02 — Philosophy

Finance breaks at the systems layer.

"Bad data costs more than bad hires."

When AR aging lives in spreadsheets, crores in bad debts hide in plain sight. The first step to fixing finance is fixing the data.

"If it's manual, it's wrong."

Not today, but eventually. Automation isn't about speed — it's about consistency. Every manual step is a future error waiting to happen.

"Enterprise tools solve enterprise problems."

We needed tools that solve our problems. So I built them. For a fraction of what vendors charge, with zero dependency on their roadmap.

"Finance should own its systems."

Not IT. Not vendors. The people who understand the numbers should control how they flow. That's the only way to move fast without breaking things.
