What does a Manager, Project Finance, do?

As a Manager, Project Finance, Anusha guides and mentors a team of Financial Analysts managing the India Mid-Large portfolio. Her responsibilities include ensuring effective strong stakeholder relationships and stepping in during escalations or challenging discussions to help resolve issues and provide strategic guidance.

By keeping projects financially healthy and well-managed, Anusha and her team indirectly contribute to the successful development of life-saving drugs in clinical trials and ultimately helping patients.

Anusha’s typical day varies significantly depending on the time of the month. At month-end, the focus is on reviewing the team's portfolio performance by comparing actual revenue against forecasts and assessing revenue and forecast accuracy. Mid-month, the work shifts to reviewing project overburn, billing positions, accounts receivable, and performing control checks including backlog accuracy and margin analysis, with client reporting also a key focus. For the remaining weeks, the priority is supporting the team through client and internal meetings, resolving project issues, managing escalations, and providing strategic guidance whenever needed.

Beyond the Job Title

What’s your favorite way to unwind after a long day?

I prefer to keep my evenings simple and peaceful. Spending quality time with my family and enjoying homemade food helps me unwind, de-stress, and appreciate the comfort of home after a busy day.

What’s something you’re passionate about outside of work that people might not know?

I'm passionate about traveling and exploring new places. The funny part? I love the experience of travel but not the planning! My husband usually takes care of organizing the trip logistics, while I focus on shopping and enjoying the journey. It's the perfect partnership.

If you could have any superpower, what would it be and how would you use it at work?

If I could have any superpower, it would be the ability to see the future outcomes of financial decisions. I would use it to anticipate project risks, accurately forecast financial performance, and guide strategic decisions that maximize value while minimizing risk. This would be invaluable in my role and for Parexel's long-term success
