Deepak Sharma, CA · IIM-B
I'm Deepak Sharma — a chartered accountant and IIM Bangalore–trained finance leader, fourteen years across pharmaceutical manufacturing and CDMO finance in India, the US and France. I've spent those years in the seat where the month actually closes: revenue recognition, controllership, order-to-cash, and the SAP configuration underneath it.
The scale is real: today I head finance operations for a ₹500 Cr biopharma growing 30% a year — order-to-cash and procure-to-pay end to end across India and US entities, a ₹300 Cr treasury, quarterly audit-committee reporting, board-authorised signatory. Before that, a €100M manufacturing-site P&L in France on the Site Leadership Team, and a 15-person US-affiliate finance centre built from scratch in Bengaluru.
And I build the tools that fix the function. Designing a system and building it are usually two jobs, held by two people — the accounting logic gets lost in the handoff. I keep both in one head: diagnose the accounting, design the control, build the tool — using AI (Claude Code) to turn the logic into working software, fast. The building is the part I enjoy: teams, products, process.
The catalogue below is that habit made public — every item a working rebuild on synthetic data. If a finance function closes late, leaks cash, or runs on heroics, that is the function I know how to fix — I've done it at ₹500 Cr, €100M and $2Bn scale.
Everything here was built inside a working finance function — against locked-down SAP, hard close deadlines, and no IT team to hand it to. It has to run in production, not in a sandbox.
