I have worked as assistant accounts and finance in two reputed organizations, a multinational in the Telecom Sector, Telenor and an accounts and financial consultancy firm, Mansha Brothers Consulting for USAID power distribution project which gave me valuable insights in the avenues of Accounts, Audit & Finance.
