@ahmedkhan8
Tax and compliance specialist with deep Saudi tax expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a tax and compliance specialist with over eight years focused on Saudi tax compliance, corporate advisory, and regulatory affairs, including experience at a Big 4 firm. I specialize in ZATCA tax litigation, VAT, zakat, and transfer pricing, and I routinely manage complex corporate structuring and appeals.
My background includes advising multinational and local clients on cross-border transactions, withholding tax, and investment compliance while liaising directly with ZATCA officers and external auditors to resolve disputes efficiently. I have a proven record of preparing corporate tax filings, zakat computations, and transfer pricing documentation.
Prior to my Big 4 role, I spent more than a decade working with government and investment authorities where I facilitated licensing, trade permits, and regulatory approvals, and maintained strong ties with ministries and legal departments. I combine regulatory experience with hands-on compliance automation, integrating finance and IT tools to streamline processes.
I hold an ACCA Diploma in Business & Financial Management and multiple professional courses in risk management, data analysis, project management, and AI applications. I seek opportunities where I can apply my technical tax expertise, government relations experience, and process-improvement skills to deliver measurable compliance and advisory outcomes.
