What I'm looking for

I am an accomplished accounting professional with a PhD in Accounting from University Utara Malaysia.

Currently, I serve as an Assistant Professor at Duhok University and an Adjunct Faculty at the American University of Kurdistan, where I teach various accounting modules including Advanced Financial Accounting and Strategic Managerial Accounting.

Throughout my career, I have successfully prepared and audited financial statements for numerous local companies, ensuring compliance with international financial reporting standards. My role as the Chief Executive Officer of Aree’s Accounting Office allows me to provide comprehensive accounting services, including tax preparation and financial management training.
