Practitioner's Toolkit

Leveraging digital tools for financial innovation

Built on the systems Indian finance departments actually run — not generic tool demonstrations.

Insight

Dashboard & Reporting

Automated templates linked to dynamic dashboards — reporting refreshes instead of being rebuilt.

Automation

Excel, Power Query & Power BI

Workshops on Excel, Power Query and Power BI, including macro-enabled models, for routine work.

Data

Accounting Systems Expertise

Tally.ERP 9 and Prime, Busy, SAP and the Finacle CBS package — including migration between systems.

Module One

Power Query for Finance & Accounts

One build. Then every month is a refresh — no macros, no coding, no IT ticket.

Scattered sources

  • Tally / Busy exports
  • SAP & Finacle dumps
  • Bank statements
  • GSTR-2B & 26AS
  • Branch Excel files
  • Vendor & customer CSVs

Power Query

The transform layer

Connect

any file, folder or ERP export

Clean & Combine

unpivot, split, merge, match

Refresh

one click, audited step by step

What the team gets back

Reconciliations

GSTR-2B, 26AS, bank and inter-company ledgers matched.

MIS & Ageing

Debtor and creditor ageing, TB mapping, budget vs actual.

Exception Testing

Duplicates, out-of-period entries, round-sum payments.

Typical outcome: a month-end pack that is refreshed in minutes instead of rebuilt over days.

Module Two

Microsoft Copilot for Finance & Accounts

One assistant, three surfaces your team already works in — plus the discipline to use it safely.

Excel

Formulas, calculated columns, PivotTables, outlier checks.

Word

Audit reports, board notes, SOPs, engagement letters.

PowerPoint

An approved MIS turned into a board-ready deck.

How the session runs

Interactive training methodology

Nobody learns Power Query or AI by watching slides — every session is built to be worked through.

01

Context

Concepts framed in Indian finance situations — GST reconciliation, branch MIS, statutory audit — with named case characters instead of textbook data.

02

Participation

Live questions and problems volunteered by the room, solved on screen — the batch builds alongside rather than watching.

03

Frameworks

Simple mental models the team keeps — the prompting framework and the “brilliant intern” way of briefing AI.

04

AI Ready

Structured as a single intensive day for senior audiences — each exercise builds on the one before it.

Professional Journey

Twenty years of building the thing I now teach

Compliance, then audit, then valuation, then finance transformation — the practice behind the training.

2006 — 2007

Foundational Practice

Bookkeeping, income-tax returns and tax advisory for small clients at Rajeshlal & Co.

2007 — 2010

Independent Practice

Financial and tax advisory plus data analysis assignments for multinationals.

2015 — Present

Managing Partner · S A R K & Co.

Audits, valuations, Virtual CFO and IFC implementation for MNCs, process automation and AI development and training.

Practice first, training second — every module comes out of work actually delivered.

Next Step

Let's build your finance team's Excel & AI capability.

A programme is scoped to your own trial balance, your reporting calendar and your team's starting point — then delivered on your data, so the skill transfers on the same track.
