What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that challenges me and allows for professional growth, ideally in a dynamic environment where I can leverage my audit expertise and leadership skills.

I am an ACCA member with over 7 years of experience in financial services audit and assurance, having worked with PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Network firms across the Bahamas, Pakistan, Oman, and the UAE. My expertise lies in supervising, planning, executing, and finalizing external audit engagements, particularly in the banking and financial services sectors.

In my current role as Head of Finance & Operation at CUCINA, I engage clients by providing professional advice and identifying areas for improvement in their business processes. I effectively manage audit processes, ensuring timely completion of deliverables while mentoring junior team members. My commitment to understanding clients' unique needs has allowed me to build strong business relationships and contribute to their success.
