As a freelance financial consultant, I help small and micro enterprises outsource bookkeeping and reporting, improve processes, and meet tax compliance requirements.

At PUTTALAM ILMENITE (PVT) LTD, I worked part time as Manager - Operations while the company pursued a mining licence and government approvals. I managed administration, recruitment, and finance functions, alongside government lobbying.

At THE CAPITAL MAHARAJA ORGANISATION LTD, I worked as an Accountant and Head of Finance for several companies and divisions, supervising teams of 4 to 15 people across financial activities. Earlier, at SOUTH ASIA GATEWAY TERMINALS (PVT) LTD, I headed the payments section, processing approximately 400 payments a month.
