01 — About

Finance, costing, SAP — and the automation of everything in between

I'm Gourav Sharma — a Cost & Management Accountant (CMA), currently Senior Manager — Material Ledger at Tata Motors (since July 2026), owning material valuation, ML closing and SAP Material Ledger processes end-to-end. My career has run through manufacturing and tech: steel, distillery & brewing, auto components — where the real game is always the same: every rupee of material, every hour of activity, every variance — tracked, analysed, controlled.

I specialise in SAP CO / FICO — Product Costing, Variance Analysis and Management Reporting, and I build the automation layer on top of it: ABAP-based MIS development, Power BI dashboards live with SAP, N8N workflows and Claude AI pipelines that turn raw ERP data into decisions. Founder of MPBoard.ai, I bring the same rigour to technology that I bring to cost sheets: systems thinking, 80/20 execution, zero tolerance for waste.

Beyond the balance sheet, I'm a professional stock market & international trader — equities, F&O, commodities and global markets — where the same discipline applies: data, systems and risk control. One identity, one operating system: analyse → automate → compound.

04 — Automation in Action

Every project solves a real problem

Production-grade automation I run in my day job and side systems — SAP, Python, AI and market-data pipelines.

Month-End Cost RunSAP CO

Problem: Cost run + reconciliation meant 3 days of manual Excel juggling, with errors surfacing late.

Solution: SAP CDS + Python pipeline — cost run trigger, variance check and report generation, all automated.

Stock RevaluationMaterial Ledger

Problem: Inventory valuation quarterly manual — 40+ Excel sheets, version chaos.

Solution: Automated revaluation from SAP ML actual costing — 1 refresh, 0 errors, audit trail.

Market Data AlertsTrading · API

Problem: Gold/silver/Nifty movements were being missed — decisions came late.

Solution: Live price pipeline (Yahoo API) + Telegram alerts + sparklines — 45s refresh, 24×7.

Report GeneratorAI Agents

Problem: Management reports taking hours — formatting, narration, distribution.

Solution: AI agent drafts a narrative report from data + PDF/email — review and send.

Workflow Automation

Self-hosted n8n running in production

A self-hosted n8n instance — the open-source automation engine — running my finance workflows: data pipelines, alerts and report distribution. Private by design.
