What I'm looking for

I seek a mid-level finance or accounting role where I can apply payroll, reconciliation, and operational skills, grow professionally, and contribute to an organized, compliance-focused team.

I am an adaptable, detail-oriented accounting professional with several years of hands-on experience in financial operations, payroll, reconciliation, and client service. I have processed high-volume transactions with accuracy, managed payroll and cash handling, and trained staff to improve operational workflows.

I hold a Bachelor of Accounting (in progress) and an Investment Funds in Canada (IFC) certification in progress, and I bring strong skills in Excel, Outlook, Word, and PowerPoint. Bilingual in English and Arabic, I deliver dependable financial support in fast-paced environments and consistently ensure compliance and timely reporting.
