I manage freight billing, AP reconciliation, and SAP month-end closing.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Officer in Freight Billing, where I lead month-end closing by compiling freight rates and uploading them into SAP, and I support shipment documentation and monthly shipment costing valued at approximately PKR 500 million. I calculate month-end transport costs, reconcile involved general ledger accounts, and share movement summaries with Sales & Distribution to keep costing accurate and actionable.
I also oversee the full accounts payable cycle—verifying invoices, reconciling records, coordinating approvals, and managing monthly payment sheets totaling around PKR 400 million. Previously, at Crowe LLP, I prepared multi-state corporate income and franchise tax returns with detailed apportionment schedules, used tax preparation tools like GoSystem, CCH Axcess, and OneSource Income Tax (OIT), and researched compliance issues to ensure accurate GAAP-aligned work while supervising and training junior staff.
