What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role that offers opportunities for growth and the chance to utilize my skills in tax and audit.

I am a highly results-oriented financial professional with extensive experience in tax and audit services. Currently, I work as a Tax Staff at Morison Menon in Qatar, where I prepare final tax accounts and ensure compliance with statutory returns. My journey in finance began with KPMG Sri Lanka, where I held various roles, including Assistant Manager and Tax Analyst, honing my skills in tax advisory and audit processes.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong leadership and teamwork abilities, effectively managing client relationships across diverse industries such as banking, manufacturing, and tourism. My expertise includes preparing tax accounts, conducting audits, and providing strategic advice on compliance matters. I thrive in challenging environments and am committed to achieving both personal and organizational goals through meticulous planning and execution.
