What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can improve cash collections, strengthen reconciliations and support audits within a collaborative team that values accuracy and process improvement.

I am an accountant with over nine years of experience across accounts receivable, accounts payable, payroll, VAT filings and multi-bank reconciliations, primarily working in the UAE and international markets. I am hands-on with Xero, SAP, JD Edwards, QuickBooks, Tally and advanced MS Excel, and known for rigorous reconciliations, clean audits and high-value collections.

In recent roles I managed AR for hospitality, retail and e-commerce clients, issued monthly statements of accounts, tracked aging and achieved consistent on-time collections through proactive relationship management. I also managed AP for local and international vendors, filed quarterly VAT returns, reconciled banks and intercompany balances monthly, and oversaw end-to-end payroll processing.

I have delivered measurable results — including reducing 60- and 90+-day receivables aging by 25% within three months — and supported audit and financial reporting activities across Mainland, Free Zone and professional entities. I seek to bring operational rigor, timely reporting and cash-collection improvements to my next finance team.
