Background

About Vivek Sahu

Certified Customs Specialist (CCS) with 15+ years across trade compliance (HTS/valuation, exports/imports) and accounting/finance analytics (GL/AR/AP tie-outs, variance, margin/landed cost). Tools: QuickBooks, Fishbowl, Excel/Power BI, Dynamics 365. I’ve led port-side inspections and clearance (Mundra/Kandla), HTS classification & valuation, import/export documentation, and intelligence-driven investigations—plus indirect-tax audits, refunds and adjudication as an Inspector → Superintendent with India’s Finance Ministry. On the business side, I run order-to-cash workflows in QuickBooks (AR/AP, invoicing, reconciliations, month-end tie-outs), keep commercial data aligned in Fishbowl (items/vendors/POs/pricing), and build Excel/Power BI views for KPIs, variance analysis, DSO/aging and margin/landed-cost visibility. Comfortable reconciling filings/ops data back to GL/AR/AP and packaging insights into clear management packs. I also have exposure to Microsoft Dynamics 365 for finance/ops scenarios. I’m looking for roles where this mix reduces risk and improves decisions—Customs/Trade Compliance Specialist or Accounting/Finance Analyst—owning clean classifications and filings, tighter reconciliations and controls, and decision-ready reporting for leadership. Core strengths: HTS/valuation • import/export docs • Indirect-tax audit • QuickBooks (AR/AP, invoicing, reconciliations) • Fishbowl (items/POs/pricing) • Excel/Power BI (KPIs, variance, margin/landed cost) • Dynamics 365 (exposure) • SOPs/UAT • stakeholder communication.
