What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for professional growth and impactful projects in financial management.

With over nine years of experience in financial reporting and accounting, I have developed a robust skill set that includes preparing IFRS compliant financial statements, conducting external audits, and performing business evaluations. My career has been marked by a proven track record of working with multinational organizations such as BDO and Grant Thornton, as well as engaging in developmental projects and industrial operations, including collaborations with commercial banks and the World Bank.

In my most recent role as a Financial Monitoring Officer for the World Bank at BDO UK LLP, I was responsible for project planning, monitoring expenditures, and conducting site-specific fiduciary reviews. My previous positions have allowed me to supervise audit teams, assess internal controls, and prepare final deliverables for major clients, including Afghanistan International Bank and Moby Group. I am passionate about ensuring compliance and enhancing financial processes, and I thrive in dynamic environments where I can contribute to impactful projects.
