Srinidhi Bhargav

PMP-certified finance, project management, and HR operations professional with nearly a decade across two Big Four firms (EY and Deloitte) in Canada and India, whose responsibilities expanded steadily from core financial analysis into project/engagement management and HR-adjacent people operations as each employer trusted him with broader scope. Equally comfortable owning the numbers, the project plan, and the people behind both: running budget-vs-actuals and variance analysis, building and tracking project timelines and budgets end to end, and managing the resourcing, onboarding, and engagement-relations work that keeps teams performing. Known for building Power BI and Excel reporting that leadership relies on, streamlining recurring reporting workflows, and strengthening team engagement and retention through hands-on coaching and process improvements. Canadian post-graduate credentials in Business Management and Supply Chain Management complement a commerce background and Big-4 training. Based in Vancouver and open to Financial Analysis/FP&A, Project Management/Coordination, and HR Operations roles across Canada.

1. Senior Associate

   Ernst & Young LLP (EY Canada)

   Oct 2021 to Dec 2025

   Vancouver, BC (relocated from Calgary, AB)

   • Owned end-to-end corporate tax compliance and provision work for a mixed portfolio of Canadian corporate clients, coordinating deliverables, deadlines, and reviews to keep filings accurate and surfacing planning opportunities that reduced clients' effective tax exposure. • Built the Power BI reporting layer over SAP and Excel extracts — covering financial, cost, capacity, and HR metrics — that leadership relies on as its first stop each week and rebuilt several aging Excel models from the ground up with Power Query and structured data models to tighten accuracy and auditability. • Served as the day-to-day HR point of contact for the tax operations group, taking ownership of onboarding, performance management, employee engagement, and policy rollout across the team. • Took ownership of team engagement and retention, building a more stable, motivated group through stay conversations, clearer career pathing, and consistent follow-through on staff feedback. • Streamlined recurring finance and HR processes and standardized project governance and status reporting, meaningfully reducing manual reporting effort and lowering reporting errors. • Managed full-cycle recruitment for the group, including job postings, interview coordination, offers, and onboarding, while partnering with resourcing and HR leads on headcount budgeting and utilization tracking. • Planned and delivered operational projects spanning finance and HR, building project plans and budgets, tracking timelines and resourcing, and managing scope and risk from initiation through closeout across concurrent client engagements. • Owned quarterly forecasting and variance commentary for the practice's cost base, translating the gap between forecast and actuals into plain-language insight that non-finance leadership could act on.

2. Project Consultant

   Deloitte Consulting India Private Limited

   May 2018 to Aug 2019

   Bengaluru, India

   • Took ownership of project financials for US and India consulting engagement teams from initial Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) setup through project and code closeout. • Ran recurring Estimate-at-Completion (EAC) tracking, budget-vs-forecast analysis, and reconciliation updates, surfacing variances to project teams well before they reached the client scorecard and keeping tracking models current as scope, staffing, and technology needs evolved. • Reviewed staffing plans and project scorecards against budget, kept practitioner allocations aligned with firm policy, and escalated variances to engagement teams for course-correction. • Managed client invoicing and cash application — raising invoices, following up on receivables, and clearing unapplied cash — and audited project expenses against contract thresholds to keep engagements cash-flow clean and compliant. • Coordinated onboarding for incoming account practitioners and international/subcontractor staff, setting new joiners up to be productive quickly, and supported international tax compliance via Long-Term Travel (LTT) reporting.

3. Senior Finance Analyst

   Ernst & Young (EYGBS India LLP)

   Jul 2014 to Mar 2018

   Bangalore, India

   • Prepared financial forecasts and Budget-versus-Actuals reporting for multiple engagement teams and delivered recurring financial performance analysis that gave project leads a clear read on project health, spend, and resourcing. • Validated invoices and engagement data feeding those reports and supported Accounts Receivable/Payable (AR/AP) and general-ledger processes, including cash application and journals to reallocate financials across engagements. • Reviewed engagement and project expenses against contract thresholds to flag overruns early, protecting accuracy and financial compliance across the portfolio while working within EY's designated methodology and quality standards.
