What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative work environment.

I am a finance professional with a strong background in accounting and auditing, holding a certification from the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). With over eight years of experience in the Big 4, I have honed my skills in financial reporting, internal audits, and team management. My journey has equipped me with the ability to communicate effectively and work collaboratively within diverse teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed audits for various clients, including notable organizations in the manufacturing and energy sectors. My role as a Manager Audit at Junaid & Co Chartered Accountants allowed me to lead a team of seven, ensuring the accuracy of financial statements and suggesting control improvements. I take pride in my ability to prepare financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and to conduct thorough internal audits that enhance organizational efficiency.
