Professional profile

SUMMARY · UPDATED JULY 2026

I'm a financial operations professional with a track record in reconciliation, reporting and process improvement across three companies. At BNP Paribas I most recently served as Subject Matter Expert on Fee Shared Services in Bangalore, reconciling broker invoices and trades for BGC/GFI, TP ICAP, Tradition and Bloomberg — before that, as a Back Officer in Mumbai, I ran Shared Services Commission Reconciliation for Morgan Stanley, JP Morgan and BNP Paribas itself. Before BNP, at Tata Consultancy Services, I managed end-to-end mortgage operations for ICICI and was recognised as Best Performer in MIS for redesigning shift roster planning for 200+ associates, cutting allocation time by over 80%.


I'm now in Germany on a Chancenkarte, so no employer sponsorship is required and I can start immediately. I'm currently living with my sister and brother-in-law in Baesweiler, NRW, who support me while I settle in — which means I'm free to relocate anywhere in Germany for the right role, at short notice. Financial operations processes — reconciliation, reporting, controls — are largely standardised across markets, so ramp-up time is short. I'm methodical, detail-oriented and comfortable owning a process end to end, and I'm actively building my German language skills alongside my day-to-day work.


I'm looking for a role as a Reconciliation Analyst, Financial Operations Analyst, or Back Office Specialist in the German banking and financial services sector.
