I am glad to recommend Nadeeshani for future employers. Over the last 1.5 years, Nadeeshani manages all financial operations of multiple start up companies (both private and publicly listed) in multinational level. Nadeeshani is an ambitious, detail-oriented team player who could work in a faced-paced environment. She always makes sure to meet the deadlines with her hard work and dedication. Nadeeshani is a positive thinker and never gives up any challenges. She can design and implement new processes quickly. She keeps all stakeholders happy with her speedy response time. Her ability to manage direct reports, independent task performance and comprehensive understanding about full cycle accounting are her strengths. I believe that future employers will greatly benefit from Nadeeshani’s polite and friendly character as well as her technical abilities.

Nadeeshani and the Positive Venture team were instrumental in rescuing us in the middle of Covid when we were most vulnerable. Nadeeshani was particularly helpful in guiding us through the available government programs that were essential for survival through the pandemic. Nadeeshani was always available and proved to be a hard worker providing us with many essential services including working capital management through weekly cash flow meetings, overseeing AP/AR, banking, credit cards and the General Ledger. She coordinated the preparation of monthly/annual financial statements and liaised with our tax consultants including an assist with the SRED filing. We are extremely pleased with the work she has done and I would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and skilled finance and accounting professional.
