What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a finance leadership role where I can own accounting and reporting, strengthen internal controls and risk frameworks, and drive automation through ERP systems while partnering with cross-functional teams.

I’m a seasoned finance professional with over ten years of experience across Pakistan, the USA, Saudi Arabia, and the UK. My background spans Accounts & Finance, Compliance & Risk Management, Credit & Portfolio Management, and Corporate & Investment Banking, and I’m dedicated to continuous improvement and excellence within my teams.

As Accounts and Finance Manager at TELENOC Helcon IT Co (Saudi Group), I led the finance and accounts department, managed full-cycle accounting, and strengthened compliance and accuracy for strategic decision-making. I own budgets and monthly cash flow forecasting, manage AR/invoicing and overdue recoveries, oversee vendor payments, and coordinate multi-country, multi-currency bank reconciliation and reporting.

Previously, I served as Senior Officer Corporate and Investment Banking – Islamic Banking at ALLIED Bank Limited, where I identified and monitored financial risk within the bank’s credit portfolio and supported credit facilities across debt/equity, syndications, and trade finance. I also managed fraud investigations and built AML/CFT/CPF controls at Telenor Microfinance Bank, and I’m a Certified Odoo Functional Consultant who led ERP implementations that reduced manual bookkeeping errors.
