What I'm looking for

I'm looking to help startups and SMEs build reliable, audit-ready financial systems that improve visibility, support better decisions, and strengthen finance operations.

I've built bookkeeping and finance systems for SMEs through JAA Dreams and freelance consulting, managing over $1M in annual transactions and reducing month-end close timelines by 30%.

I use QuickBooks Online, Xero, and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central to improve reporting, reconciliations, cash-flow visibility, and decision-making. Alongside finance operations, I've trained 70+ learners in bookkeeping and digital skills and previously strengthened financial controls at Airblue, Apical Ways, Faysal Bank, and Lunar Cafe.
