Santosh had worked with me during Nepal Earthquake Response May 2016 to Nov 2017. Santosh is having excellent knowledge on auditing and finance reporting system for an INGO. He was able to demonstrate his skill on supporting various partners to maintain minimum financial process requirement to fulfill the donor requirement.

I believe that Santosh shall be the perfect candidate for any positions related with finance and accounting roles. He is quick learner, dynamic and hard-working person. He is passionate about taking initiation and working in team. I saw him in his best when he was performing complex analysis using spreadsheet skills for the forecasting and financial modeling. He is well versed with computerized systems, advanced level spreadsheets skills and other analytical tools. He is willing to take new challenges and responsibilities. Once our agency was such in a busy period, we required a payroll and balance sheet accounts reconciliation, and he took initiation by offering help even it was not his responsibility. During his tenure, his performance was quite remarkable and that impressed us all.
