About

A dynamic and enthusiastic Chartered Accountant, Certified Public Accountant, Certified Management Accountant and a CIMA with over 25 years of teaching experience and more than a decade of corporate experience in various positions at various MNC’s and Consulting firm. I quit my job as a finance manager with Shell MRPL to pursue my passion for teaching and with that aspiration founded NorthStar Academy. Over the last few years, NorthStar Academy has emerged as one of the most preferred institution for Accounting, Finance and Management Accounting courses such as CA, Certified Management Accountants (or CMA USA) and US CPA. I am a CA, CIMA, and CMA(USA) by profession and an educationist by passion. With more than fifteen years of teaching experience, I have been one of most trusted faculty for Strategic Management Accounting for CA Final and Costing and Financial Management for CA Intermediate - (Indian Courses) and Certified Management Accountants (CMA USA) and Certified Public Accountants (CPA USA) - Foreign Courses. Over the years, I have taught thousands of students in most cities of southern India and has earned a name which is synonymous to the subjects and courses I teach. I have been felicitated with various awards and recognition including most recently ‘The Teaching Excellence’, awarded by the Chairman of the Skill Development Corporation, Government of Karnataka and Indus Global Foundation at Bangalore.
