About Tusker Minds

A finance team that’s part builder, part advisor.

Tusker Minds Consulting brings 18+ years of Director-level finance transformation to growing businesses — and 20+ years of CISO, cyber security and IT infrastructure management experience to protect what we build. We work across India, the US, Australia and the GCC.

Why we exist

The missing middle, built on purpose.

Tusker Minds was founded on a simple frustration: growing businesses are told to either hire an expensive in-house finance team or struggle on with spreadsheets. No one offered the missing middle — a partner who could build the systems, run the FP&A and deliver the intelligence, all at once.

Our leadership brings 18+ years across financial controllership, FP&A and business intelligence, including Director-level finance transformation at a global technology firm — the rare blend of accounting rigour and technology fluency that growing businesses need but can’t yet hire full-time.

As finance moved onto cloud platforms and AI, a second gap appeared: the systems holding a company’s most sensitive numbers needed governance and security too. That is why we now offer CISO, cyber security and IT infrastructure services alongside finance, led by 20+ years of experience in CISO, cyber security and IT infrastructure management.

Leadership

Who you’ll work with.

Founder & Principal Consultant

“Finance isn’t about counting beans. It’s about building the engine that drives the business — and making sure everyone can see the dashboard.”

18+ years of finance transformation at Director level: leading EPM implementations end to end, building FP&A and BI functions, writing the business cases leadership signs, and now deploying governed AI in finance. Hands-on across planning, ERP, BI, data and AI platforms — the person who designs the solution is the person who builds it.

What 18+ years builds

Every layer of the finance stack.

Most advisors know one layer. The value is in connecting all of them.

Controllership

Close, controls, cost allocation, rev rec.

FP&A

AOP, forecasts, scenarios, variance.

Systems

EPM & ERP design, integration, go-live.

BI & data

Dashboards, SQL, Python, Databricks.

AI & security

Governed AI agents and the controls around them.

How we work

Four principles we don’t bend.

01

Builder, not just advisor

We configure the model, write the SQL and ship the dashboard. Advice comes with an implementation.

02

Finance + data + AI

One team that speaks ledger, pipeline and model — so nothing gets lost between three vendors.

03

Enterprise rigour for SMBs

PMO, UAT, security and reconciliation discipline from large rollouts, sized for growing firms.

04

Root cause before software

We diagnose first. Sometimes the answer is a process change, not a new licence.

Where we work

Remote-first, four regions.

The name

Why Tusker?

A tusker is a strong, steady elephant — and elephants are famous for long memory. Strength, steadiness and a memory for every number: that’s what we want your finance function to have.

We also share practical finance, systems and AI content as TuskerMinds on YouTube and Instagram.
