What I'm looking for

I seek a senior finance role focused on financial control, IFRS reporting, treasury and regulatory compliance, where I can lead consolidation, optimize liquidity, and implement robust controls within a collaborative, growth-oriented team.

I am a results-driven Chartered Accountant with over a decade of experience delivering financial control, regulatory reporting and treasury management for multi-subsidiary organizations in the UAE. I lead month-end, quarter-end and year-end closures and ensure IFRS compliance across complex entities.

At Al Ansari Financial Services I prepared Central Bank reports, managed group VAT filings for multiple subsidiaries, implemented IFRS-16 and ECL processes, and performed year-end impairment testing while strengthening internal controls.

As a consultant I developed carve-out financial statements, advised ADGM-registered clients on accounting frameworks, implemented VAT and IFRS-16 for SMEs, and coordinated ESR submissions and consolidated reporting across teams.

I bring practical ERP and Excel-based budgeting experience, cash and liquidity optimization, intercompany eliminations and provisioning expertise, and a focus on process improvements that enhance accuracy and operational efficiency.
