What I'm looking for

I seek a finance leadership role where I can improve controls, streamline reporting, optimize costs, mentor a finance team, and support regional growth in a collaborative, growth-oriented company.

I am a finance manager with over 15 years of experience in financial management, budgeting, and operational efficiency across diverse industries in Jordan and the UAE. I deliver accurate financial reporting and ensure compliance with US GAAP, IAS and IFRS standards.

I have a proven record of streamlining financial operations — enhancing reporting efficiency by 15%, improving vendor payment processing by 30%, and boosting monthly cash flow by 10%. I have led monthly and quarterly statutory reporting and achieved zero audit discrepancies through robust internal controls.

I built and led high-performing finance teams, managed budgets exceeding 3M AED, and implemented internal control systems that ensured accurate revenue recognition of 35M AED. I also directed OPEX and CAPEX controls and supported expansion initiatives that increased revenues by 10% across the MENA region.

I hold formal training including DipIFR and CMA coursework and have hands-on experience with Oracle ERP, VAT compliance, payroll (WPS), tax filings and reconciliations. I am results-driven, detail-oriented, and ready for an immediate start with relocation flexibility to GCC countries.
