At BNW Chartered Accountants, I manage end-to-end accounts payable and receivable processing, support treasury operations, and perform reconciliations that support month-end close.

At Bestway Consultancy Services, I supervised payables for Bestway Retail Limited and BestOne. I worked with Reporting, Credit Control, IT, and Accounts Receivable teams on process improvements that reduced processing errors by approximately 30%.

I also led, trained, and coached a team of five AP processors, and prepared management reports and general ledger analysis for senior management. My work included supplier cost comparisons and supplier-level profit and loss analysis to identify loss drivers and cost-saving opportunities.

Earlier, I handled accounting and commercial finance work at Metropolitan Warehouse & Delivery Corp, Siemens Pakistan Engineering Co. Ltd, and Baseline Practice Support. I’m an ACCA member and use SAP, Microsoft Dynamics NAV, Xero, QuickBooks Online, and advanced Excel.
