About Us

Operators
who understand numbers.

We started Zehn Finance because we kept seeing the same problem: ambitious businesses where the numbers couldn't keep up with the ambition.

The Origin Story

Akshita brings over a decade of experience across finance functions and advisory — from early-stage analytical roles to KPMG's deals practice, and leading FP&A for a billion-dirham aviation services group, managing financial planning and board reporting across multiple business units.

Having worked across the Middle East and India, she has operated within finance teams of varying scale and maturity — from structured corporate environments to high-growth, evolving setups.

Across each of these roles, one pattern became consistently clear: finance teams were spending 80% of their time preparing data and 20% analysing it. Critical insights were often delayed and buried under manual processes.

Zehn Finance was built to solve this exact problem.

It is grounded in a simple belief: great finance teams don't just report performance — they shape it. By combining strong financial discipline with practical bespoke AI applications, Akshita is focused on redesigning how finance teams operate: faster cycles, cleaner data flows, and outputs that are decision-ready.

Enabling finance teams to operate as true strategic partners to the business, rather than custodians of reporting.

Our Philosophy

Principles we operate by

01

Deliverables Over Decks

We ship working outputs — reports, dashboards, processes — not 200-slide strategy decks that gather dust.

02

Speed Is a Feature

If we can't show value in two weeks, our scoping was wrong. We prioritize fast, meaningful impact.

03

Build to Hand Over

Every engagement is designed to make your team self-sufficient. We succeed when you don't need us anymore.

04

Technology Where It Matters

Automate the repetitive. Use AI for pattern recognition. But keep human judgment where it counts.

05

Honest Scoping

We won't sell you services you don't need. If something can be solved with a spreadsheet template, we'll say so.

06

Context Is Everything

Every recommendation accounts for your industry, stage, team size, and budget. No generic playbooks.
