My Internship Experience 

Introduction
​ Internships are more than just a line on a resume—they are stepping stones that shape our careers. My internship as a Finance Executive at Abhyaz   for three months was an enriching experience that helped me grow in practical knowledge, technical skills, and professional confidence.I had the   privilege of working under Ms. Sundarvalli KM, the Finance Head, and Project Manager Jessica Opera, whose mentorship was instrumental in guiding   me through various real-world finance operations.
​Experience
​ Project 1: Product Configuration in Zoho Books for MTAB USA   
​ My first major assignment was the Zoho Books Product Configuration  project for MTAB USA. 
​ This project gave me hands-on experience with:   
​  SKU (Stock Keeping Unit): A unique code given to each product for easy identification and tracking.
​  Pricing: The selling price of the product (you can also add cost price, discounts, etc. if needed. 
​ Tax Rates: GST or any applicable tax percentage that needs to be applied during invoicing. 
​ Stock Tracking: Enabling stock/inventory tracking to monitor product quantity, alert on low stock, and manage reordering. This project   helped me   develop a structured approach to financial systems while deepening my understanding of bookkeeping practices.
 Project 2: The Automation Report 
​ In the second project, I worked with Zoho Books, focusing on:  This report provides a clear snapshot of all automated processes within your   finance system. It typically includes details on workflows like invoice generation, payment reconciliation, and other routine tasks that have been   automated.
​ For example, when an invoice is automatically generated after a purchase order is confirmed, the report will log the date, time, and success   status of that process. Similarly, when payments are received and reconciled against outstanding invoices, the report tracks whether the   matching was automatic, any discrepancies found, and how they were resolved. By regularly reviewing the Automation Report, businesses gain   several key benefits:
​ ·Transparency into system performance and workflow efficiency.
​ ·Early detection of failures or exceptions in automation.
​ ·Improved auditing and compliance documentation. 
 ​·Optimization opportunities for process improvements. 
​ This experience exposed me to the practical challenges of Zoho Books and the importance of smooth backend finance operations.  
​ Additional Responsibilities  Apart from the core projects, I assisted my mentor with:
​ ·GST Filing – Preparing and submitting monthly returns with accuracy.
​ ·TDS Return Filing – Ensuring timely deduction and compliance of tax rules.
​ ·Opening Balance Reports – Supporting the reconciliation and transition of financial data into the current financial year. 
​ ·Categorisation- Assist in categorizing of  bank  transactions in Zoho books. These tasks deepened my understanding of Indian tax laws and   sharpened my attention to detail.   
​ Key Takeaways:
​  This internship was a blend of learning, problem-solving, and applying innovative thinking to real-time tasks. I became proficient in using Zoho   Books developed a keen eye for detail in finance operations, and learned to adhere to reporting templates with consistency and clarity.   Final   Thoughts  My internship at Abhyaz has been a valuable chapter in my career journey. It provided the perfect platform to explore finance tools,   understand compliance, and gain confidence in corporate communication. I am deeply thankful to Ms. Sundarvalli KM , Jessica Opera and the   Abhyaz team for their support, trust, and encouragement.
