Shailen Sheth

Finance Engineer

I build modern finance systems for high-growth companies — combining accounting, automation, controls and AI-enabled workflows.

Skills / Stack

Finance systems, AI workflows and scalable reporting infrastructure.

A deliberately broad stack across accounting, systems, controls, automation and operator-grade documentation.

Embedded AI agents and LLM tooling into repetitive finance processes — automating low-value work and freeing capacity for higher-judgement tasks.

Multi
Connected stack

System Integrations

Connected finance systems across ERP, HR, payroll, PSP and reporting platforms — reducing manual handoffs and improving data consistency.

Finance Builder Mode

Turning messy finance problems into systems that hold up.

I approach finance like a builder: map the mess, simplify the flow, automate what should not be manual, and leave behind controls and documentation that make the process easier to own.

MapMessy current-state processes.
DesignThe clean processes.
BuildWorkflows, docs, controls and automations.
RunUntil it survives real pressure.
Selected Projects

The projects I would talk about in an interview.

Each project sits at the intersection of finance, systems, automation and cross-functional problem-solving.

Built a more structured close environment with real-time accountability, clearer review flows and AI-assisted commentary.

02

NetSuite Rollout

Helped build the ERP backbone for a multi-entity finance function, including migration, controls, workflows and reporting.

03

PSP Reconciliation

Investigated payment processor data across Stripe, Checkout.com and internal systems to improve reconciliation confidence.

Finance AI Workflows

Using LLMs to support technical research, documentation, flux analysis and repeatable finance operating processes.

Experience

Finance experience across fintech, SaaS and payments.

What I want

Roles where finance is still being built.

The sweet spot is high-growth, product-led companies where finance needs systems thinking, automation and strong accounting judgement.
