What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers opportunities for growth, innovation, and collaboration in financial management.

I am a dedicated finance manager with extensive experience in financial operations and risk management. Currently, I work at Take International, where I have successfully identified and automated inefficient processes, leading to increased efficiency and faster decision-making. My role involves developing risk management frameworks that align with industry best practices, ensuring compliance, and maintaining accurate financial records.

Previously, I served as a financial accountant at Yahshud Property Limited, where I achieved 100% accuracy in financial statement preparation and spearheaded the company's registration with the SEC. My proactive approach has consistently identified cost-saving opportunities, streamlining processes, and enhancing budget management practices. I am passionate about leveraging my skills to drive organizational growth and improve financial performance.
