About Nirdesh Sahu

Director – Finance | Finance Controller | Strategic Finance Business Partner | Global Reporting & Compliance | Oracle ERP | Taxation | Treasury | Pricing | SEZ | M&A SupportStrategic finance executive with 17+ years of cross-functional leadership experience, I specialize in driving enterprise value through robust pricing governance, commercial finance, and global finance controllership. I have architected and executed data-driven pricing models—spanning rate card design, margin optimization, cost-plus constructs, and return-on-revenue frameworks—enabling sustainable revenue growth across complex, multi-entity service organizations. My remit includes end-to-end controllership, covering global book closure, intercompany accounting, GAAP/IND AS compliance, and financial reporting automation. I have successfully led multi-location teams in delivering accounting operations, reengineering R2R processes, and embedding internal controls aligned with SOX and statutory mandates. A trusted partner to CFOs, business unit heads, and client delivery leaders, I bring analytical acumen and financial stewardship to contract structuring, deal review, capital deployment, and profitability analysis. I have managed direct and indirect taxation, including transfer pricing strategy, tax provisioning (ASC 740), GST compliance, and regulatory filings, while securing SEZ approvals in-house, unlocking long-term fiscal efficiencies. My treasury oversight spans FX hedging, cross-border cash management, and FEMA compliance across 16+ accounts and multiple entities. I have been instrumental in ERP transformations (Oracle Fusion), audit readiness, board reporting, and M&A support, while fostering high-performance finance teams and aligning operational execution with strategic imperatives. Above all, I operate with a forward-looking lens—balancing compliance, agility, and value creation to elevate finance as a strategic enabler of growth.
