Message

As a freelance accountant, I support Shawa Shawa Restaurant LLC, Paradise Promise Travels & Tours, Tajwar’s Food Company, and other businesses with accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliations, and financial reporting.

For restaurant operations, I maintain procurement records and support food costing and expense tracking. I also handle digital content management and social media data updates.

At International Trading Franchises (LLC), I managed financial reporting, budgeting, and forecasting for restaurant brands including Tony Roma’s, BeaverTails, Jamaica Blue, and Villa Beirut. I also handled cost management, recipe costing, inventory control, payroll, VAT compliance, and IT operations.

I led an ERP migration to Microsoft Dynamics, including GL mappings and data integration, and coordinated data migration and integrations for BANKSMART. My experience also includes accounts management at AB Group, costing and reconciliations at Al Hattab Hospitality, and banking operations at Bank Alfalah Limited.
