"As Chief Growth Officer, finance needed to be a partner in growth, not just a scorekeeper. Sandeep gave us exactly that. He built commercial reporting that showed us which channels, partners and products were actually making money, and turned it around fast enough for us to act on it. His analysis shaped our pricing and investment decisions, helping lift revenue by 40%. He's commercially sharp, easy to work with and always focused on what drives the business forward."
"As Managing Director of our publishing business, I relied on Sandeep for far more than the numbers. He gave us clear, timely reporting on revenue, margins and agency performance, and was always ready to work through pricing and growth decisions with us. Sandeep built a finance function that stood up to the scrutiny of a multi-million dollar sale, and kept the business running smoothly throughout the deal process. Commercially sharp, calm and completely dependable."
"Sandeep joined Talent Match Africa as CFO at a pivotal time for the business. He took ownership of finance and legal across Australia, South Africa and Kenya, consolidated our group reporting and put forecasting and governance in place that our board and investors could rely on. He then led our $3.0M convertible note raise from existing and new shareholders. Sandeep brings calm, structure and genuine commercial judgement. As a CEO, I always knew exactly where we stood."
"I worked with Sandeep when he was Financial Controller at City of Melbourne, where he led a team of 14 across financial control, audit, tax and systems for an organisation with $500 million in income. He delivered our statutory annual accounts two years in a row with clean sign-off from the Victorian Auditor-General, and he led our move to the new AASB 9, 15 and 16 accounting standards.
Sandeep also drove real change. He automated accounts payable, which cut manual data entry by 40%, and he delivered our payment reform project on time and on budget. He stepped in as Interim CFO and presented to Councillors with confidence. He brings rigour and gets things done."
