What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can own budgeting, cash flow, cost control, internal audits, and tax compliance—using ERP systems and advanced Excel—to drive accurate reporting and smarter decisions.

I’m a seasoned Finance Manager with 15+ years of experience across industrial, commercial, and service sectors, with a proven track record in Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Libya. I prepare financial statements in compliance with accounting standards, design and implement accounting systems, and lead accounting teams through training and process improvements.

I build and monitor cost control systems, manage budgets and variance analysis, and track monthly cash flow changes to support confident decision-making. I also run internal auditing and financial controls, handle VAT and income tax preparation and tax audits, and manage bank correspondence and reconciliations—often using ERP systems and advanced Excel to keep reporting accurate and timely.
