What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance functions where I can strengthen reporting, controls, budgeting, financial planning, ERP automation, and team development in support of business strategy.

I'm currently directing financial activities at MehKaz LLP (Solico Group) across Kazakhstan, building reporting and control frameworks while overseeing budgeting, liquidity, and monthly and annual closings.

Previously at Welldis LLP (Food Empire Group), I compiled monthly corporate reporting packages, led financial planning and analysis, managed annual budgeting, and directed ERP automation.

At Altynalmas JSC, I prepared stand-alone and consolidated IFRS financial statements, supported audits, and contributed to SAP ERP and reporting automation initiatives.

My foundation in audit comes from PwC Kazakhstan and Solomon LLP, where I assessed financial statements, reviewed records and data, identified risks and errors, and prepared audit documentation under IFRS, IAS, and auditing standards.
