I’m a Chartered Accountant based in Kolkata, with over nine years of post-qualification experience across audit, financial analysis, taxation and business process transformation. Part of that time was spent at a Big 4 firm. The rest has been in industry roles and, more recently, building my own ventures.

Audit work is where I learnt how finance processes behave when a deadline is close and the numbers have to tie. I saw why a step that looks wasteful on paper is often there for a reason, usually a control someone needed after something went wrong. That shapes how I look at AI now. Before I suggest automating a workflow, I want to know which control it carries and who signs off on the output.

## What I do now

Most of my work is advising companies on AI implementation. That usually starts with an [AI opportunity audit](https://pratikbajoria.com/audit): I map the workflows, score the use cases against P&L impact and control risk, and pick one narrow release to build first. I’ve worked with businesses across eight sectors.

I also build [Findost](https://findost.io/), an AI-powered wealth management platform. It’s where I test the patterns I recommend to clients, so when I tell a finance team that something works in production, I’ve usually had to make it work myself first.

Alongside that I make a small number of [cross-border introductions](https://crossborder.pratikbajoria.com/) between Indian businesses and overseas buyers or partners. I vet both sides as I would a counterparty, and I’m paid only if a deal closes.

## What I write about

The blog is organised into four topics. Each has a hub page that links to every post in it.

- [AI for Chartered Accountants in India](https://pratikbajoria.com/blog/ai-for-chartered-accountants-in-india): how CA practices can use AI on audit, GST and client work without losing control of the file.
- [AI implementation for finance teams](https://pratikbajoria.com/ai-implementation-for-finance-teams): close, reconciliation, MIS and the controls that have to sit around them.
- [AI automation in India](https://pratikbajoria.com/ai-automation-in-india): workflow automation for Indian businesses, from WhatsApp intake to document handling.
- [AI tools and accounting software](https://pratikbajoria.com/blog/best-ai-tools-chartered-accountants-finance-professionals): reviews and comparisons, judged against the workflow they are meant to improve.

I write every post under my own name, and where a figure appears it links to its source. The content is educational. It isn’t legal, tax, audit or investment advice for your situation.
