Message

At Staunch Machinery, I completed a co-op placement in accounting and ERP operations, processing invoices and reconciling stock movements and customer and supplier accounts.

During my banking trainee rotation at Banque du Liban, I gained exposure to AML, compliance and financial regulation, and supported work involving payments, cheque clearing, financial reporting and internal auditing. At Fransabank, I processed transfers and FX conversions, handled account-opening documentation and supported front-office transactions.

At Petrofac International Ltd, I prepared corporate tax return documentation, reviewed project expenses and analyzed accounts receivable and payable aging. I also bring a technical foundation from mechanical engineering studies, including programming and CAD, and ongoing independent FX trading experience.
