After my promotion, I took on additional responsibilities at the Alembic Group level, assisting with consolidated financial statement preparation and integrated MIS reporting, while continuing to manage Aleor Dermaceuticals Limited's accounts and prepare audited financial statements. I also streamlined and enhanced routine accounting processes for greater efficiency and accuracy. I formulated accounting SOPs to standardise financial reporting practices across the group for improved consistency and regulatory compliance.

In addition to managing Aleor’s accounts, I oversaw the configuration of new SAP ERP modules and project capitalization, collaborating closely with IT and plant personnel to ensure a seamless integration. I streamlined operations by delegating and supervising routine activities and directed my focus on enhancing MIS reporting and accounting efficiency. Additionally, I developed a financial model to assess the impact of a new Accounting Standard on Alembic Group, leading to a GBP 12.6 million restatement of financial statements.

Hired with a special package, I was entrusted with independently managing the GBP 23.80 million accounts of Aleor Dermaceuticals Ltd., a rare responsibility for someone without prior corporate experience. Over the first four months, I gained a comprehensive understanding of the SAP ERP accounting system and day-to-day financial operations. By December, I took full charge of Aleor’s accounts, handling end-to-end accounting processes, from bill booking to preparing audited financial statements. To enhance financial efficiency, I implemented eight monthly account closing processes and automated three manual tasks, strengthening financial controls. Additionally, a thorough contract review uncovered a critical oversight in an insurance agreement, resulting in GBP 32,000 in savings. This role provided a strong foundation in financial reporting, compliance, and process optimization, setting the stage for my rapid career progression within Alembic.
