A Partnership

How our work fits together

Finance knowledge and system building are two halves of one job. We do each half, and hand it to the other.

Suraj · Finance & Decision Architecture

Understands the business and the numbers. Finds the blind spots in cash, margin, working capital and control. Decides what needs to be measured, what the rules are and what the answer should look like.

Shikha · Data, Systems & AI Architecture

Turns that into something that runs. As a Power BI developer she builds the Power BI dashboards, and alongside them the Excel templates, SQL and Python checks, AI workflows and SOPs, so the work repeats every month without starting from zero.

Together

Diagnose → Design → Build → Automate → Run. A finance problem is found, defined, built into a system and handed over with a written process. One team, from the question to the working answer.

Why the combination matters

Finance diagnosis without implementation becomes another report. Technology without finance context becomes another dashboard. Together, the two turn a financial problem into a working, measurable and repeatable system.

Starts with Suraj

A client comes with a finance problem: cash stuck, margin leakage, inventory, MIS, FP&A or working capital. Suraj diagnoses it. Where the fix needs systemising, reporting or automation, Shikha builds the implementation layer.

Starts with Shikha

A client comes for Power BI, Excel, SQL, Python, an AI workflow or automation. Where the problem needs deeper finance interpretation, Shikha works with Suraj on the finance architecture before building.

Who Leads What

One Practice. Two Complementary Strengths.

If it starts with the numbers

Suraj leads the diagnosis. Cash, margin, working capital, MIS, FP&A and control questions.

If the solution needs a system

Shikha leads the build. Data, dashboards, workflows or automation, with a person reviewing what matters.

If both are needed

One finance + systems team. Diagnose → Design → Build → Automate → Run.
