Surendra Jadav

CMA-qualified cost accountant with over 4 years of hands-on experience in cost audit, product costing, MIS reporting, and inventory management — primarily for pharma API, drug intermediate, chemicals, and other manufacturing companies. I work closely with production and finance teams to build costing models, perform variance analysis, and deliver management reports that actually get used. In recent work, I have built Excel-based MIS dashboards using Power Query and Pivot Tables and started using AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude to cut down time spent on routine documentation and report drafting.
