I build GAAP-compliant, cross-border SaaS finance operations that accelerate close and improve revenue visibility.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
At KnowledgeCity, I own full-function finance for a $9M ARR SaaS company and report directly to the CEO. I converted operations from cash-basis accounting to GAAP-compliant accrual accounting and built ASC 606 revenue recognition from scratch.
I automated AR, AP, and payroll to reduce monthly close from 10–12 days to 3–4 days, and implemented Maxio to cut invoice creation from 20 minutes to 2. My SaaS metrics reporting gave Sales and Customer Success visibility into at-risk accounts, helping improve GRR from 65% to 85%.
Previously, I scaled finance at Neurons from $500K to $9M ARR and led a 4,000+ transaction QuickBooks-to-NetSuite migration at Motive. Across SaaS, technology, and financial services, I bring 11+ years of finance experience, including eight years working fully remotely across the US, Denmark, and Pakistan.
