At Global Business Konsultancy FZCO, I manage end-to-end bookkeeping and financial reporting for UAE, UK and US clients, from source documents and reconciliations through IFRS financial statements and closing.

I handle UAE VAT and Corporate Tax registration, computation and filing, and have supported 20+ companies across IFZA, SHAMS and UAE mainland with formation, licensing and compliance. I also designed and built a Google Apps Script dashboard covering client financial reports and ledgers.

At Public News and Iqbal Garden, I managed accounting close, tax compliance, management reporting and audit work. Earlier, as a Trainee at Awan & Company Chartered Accountants, I prepared tax returns and financial statements and participated in audits across several industries.

Alongside my current role, I provide freelance bookkeeping, tax filing and registration services in Pakistan. I'm Intuit-certified in QuickBooks Online and hold the ICAP Certificate in Accounting and Finance.
