Accounting & finance professional delivering IFRS reporting, UAE VAT compliance, and audit-ready bookkeeping remotely.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Accounting & Finance professional with 3+ years of full-cycle bookkeeping, financial reporting, and tax compliance experience, supported by hands-on external audit exposure at an internationally affiliated firm. As an ACCA finalist (13 papers passed), I combine strong technical accounting under IFRS and US GAAP with data-driven finance tools to deliver accurate, audit-ready outputs.
In my current role, I manage end-to-end bookkeeping across Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, and General Ledger maintenance for a high-volume retail pharmacy operation. I prepare monthly financial statements and management reports, run reconciliations to ensure on-time close, and support compliance with IFRS and applicable local standards while processing payroll, vendor payments, and employee expense claims with tight internal controls.
I’m also active in tax-focused work—holding UAE Taxation & VAT certification covering VAT registration, return filing, input/output tax, reverse charge, refunds, and FTA compliance—so I can handle reporting with confidence. I work independently in fully remote and hybrid environments, communicate clearly across time zones, and keep deliverables well-documented for both internal and external audit needs.
