What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging audit/assurance role where I can apply IFRS expertise, lead teams, handle complex financial reporting, and grow toward leadership.

I am a Chartered Accountant and Senior Auditor with proven audit expertise at RSM, known for delivering high-quality results under pressure and adding immediate value to client teams.

I have planned and executed statutory and multi-location audits across sectors including construction, manufacturing, FMCG, education, oil & gas and financial services, and served as a secondee to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. I collaborated with international affiliates (USA, UAE, Singapore, Nigeria, Pakistan), assisted RSM in successful reviews before ICAP and SECP, conducted firm-wide CaseWare® training, and successfully planned and conducted stock takes for approximately 100 clients across Pakistan.

I supervise and mentor audit teams, perform risk assessments and substantive testing, and liaise with legal, tax, actuarial and IT specialists to resolve technical matters. I seek roles where I can apply my IFRS expertise, strengthen controls, and continue progressing toward leadership within audit and assurance.
