What I'm looking for

Seeking a challenging role in a growth-oriented organization that values finance expertise and offers opportunities for professional development and contribution to organizational success.

I am an energetic and ambitious professional with a mature and responsible approach to any task I undertake. As a Financial Controller, I have developed a strong background in supervising finance teams, managing budgets, and implementing accounting processes. My experience includes preparing payroll documents, financial analyses, and presenting clear financial information to stakeholders.

Currently serving at TASDEEQ Financial Controllers, I have worked with diversified industries, including education and consultancy. My role involves preparing and analyzing financial statements for international divisions, such as MENA and SEA regions. I have also provided business consultancy services, including tax, audit, and advisory services to various clients.

I hold a CA Finalist status and am a Member of the Institute of Public Accountants of Australia (MIPA).
