@faiqsajjad1
I build actionable financial plans, reporting, and controls that improve business decisions and operational performance.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I'm currently preparing weekly operational-loss and production-efficiency analysis at Sapphire Fibres Limited, alongside monthly management accounts, shipment costing, forecasts, and profitability insights for senior management.
Previously at Yellostone Technologies, I progressed from Finance Executive to Manager, Accounts & Finance, leading budgeting, forecasting, management reporting, costings, reconciliations, internal controls, and a finance team. I built profitability dashboards for directors, managed foreign-vendor and trade-finance relationships, and served as a key contact for auditors and banking partners.
My experience also includes remote accounting for UK, Canadian, US, and European clients, including £2M debt collection, VAT and tax filings, high-volume AR/AP, bookkeeping, and financial statements. With CA finalist and ACCA finalist credentials, I bring a practical audit, compliance, and financial-planning foundation across manufacturing, technology, and professional-services environments.
