Background

About Kunal Arora

As a Chartered Accountant with nearly four years of dedicated experience, I specialize in the full lifecycle of Indirect Tax (VAT/GST)—from end-to-end compliance and advisory to driving large-scale tax technology implementation and automation. My core strength lies in translating complex tax regulations into efficient, automated solutions that deliver measurable results. Expertise & Impact: Tax Automation & ERP Integration: Proven ability to lead and execute the implementation of tax software (ClearTax) with major ERPs like SAP FI/MM, significantly reducing manual compliance effort. I excel at identifying critical accounting discrepancies and ensuring seamless integration for automated tax calculation and filing. Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Managed diverse client portfolios, consistently achieving a 100% compliance rate on timely and accurate filing of GST/VAT returns. I provide expert consultation on complex matters, focusing on ITC optimization strategies and enhancing client audit readiness. Process Integrity & Data Analysis: Highly proficient in detailed GL Reconciliation and diagnosing discrepancies within client systems, maintaining a high standard of data integrity across records. My work includes process benchmarking and data-driven analysis to advise on and enforce best-practice accounting. Stakeholder Management & Training: Experienced in leading UAT and presenting handover sessions to ensure smooth Go-Lives. I have delivered over 500 training sessions to internal teams and clients on critical compliance topics, including the impact analysis of new regulatory changes. While I have built a strong foundation in Indian GST and Withholding Tax, I am currently pursuing UAE VAT and Corporate Tax Certification (Expected Completion: Sep '2025). I am highly motivated to leverage my expertise directly in the Dubai/Abu Dhabi, UAE market.
