PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Finance and accounting professional with 6+ years of progressive experience at Pakistan’s Capital Development Authority (CDA), a federal government body, where I advanced from Junior Research Assistant to Senior Accountant. I build deep expertise in full-cycle accounting, ERP implementation, and regulatory compliance under IFRS and US GAAP.
Currently, I lead a team of 10+ accountants and own accounts payable/receivable, bank reconciliation, monthly close, payroll, budgeting, and financial reporting for a multi-division public-sector organization. I directed a citywide Federal Excise Duty compliance framework across 2,000+ commercial accounts that recovered roughly PKR 50 million in outstanding revenue.
I also led a QuickBooks ERP rollout across five divisions that lifted billing and reconciliation speed by 35% and built automated Power BI variance dashboards that cut executive reporting time by four business days. I’m an active Certified Management Accountant (CMA, IMA-USA) candidate (currently completing Part 1), and I’m seeking my next role internationally—remote or onsite with visa sponsorship—where I can apply an audit-ready compliance mindset at greater scale.
