Co-founder of Access CFO. A Chartered Accountant who has cleared CFA Level I, with six years across statutory audit at Walker Chandiok & Co (Grant Thornton Bharat) and large-corporate credit at ICICI Bank’s Wholesale Banking Group.
Background
Mehar Puri trained in assurance at Walker Chandiok & Co LLP, part of the Grant Thornton Bharat network, rising from audit analyst to consultant over four and a half years. The work spanned statutory audits, tax audits, quarterly reviews and internal financial control reporting for clients in power generation, automotive components, financial services, avionics and technology services — including a rights issue assurance engagement for a listed company — and earned several Spot Awards along the way.
From there Mehar joined ICICI Bank’s Wholesale Banking Group as a Deputy Manager, working as a relationship manager in the Large Clients Group, which serves companies with revenue above ₹750 crore: client projections, credit appraisal, documentation and disbursement — reading a company’s numbers from the lender’s side of the table.
Mehar has since worked as a finance and accounting consultant, running financial reporting, cost accounting, budgeting, statutory compliance and internal controls. Alongside the CA qualification, Mehar has cleared Level I of the CFA Program and holds a B.Com (Hons) from SGTB Khalsa College, University of Delhi, awarded with distinction.
Areas of focus
- Statutory audit readiness and audit coordination
- Financial reporting, quarterly reviews and internal financial controls
- Credit appraisal, projections and bank documentation
- Budgeting, cost accounting and statutory compliance
