Saudi ArabiaWhat I'm looking for
At Saudi Bin Ladin Group, I’m developing internal controls and improving automated systems while supporting the migration of corporate systems and processes to an ERP framework. I also prepare budgets and financial reporting for management.
As Chief Financial Officer at Al Saaria International Co., I developed internal controls and supported a multi-departmental migration of corporate systems. I managed VAT records and reporting and prepared the company budget.
At Taajeer Group, I directed financial operations across the group and implemented governance frameworks to meet Saudi Central Bank and Capital Market Authority requirements. I also oversaw IPO-related financial due diligence and prepared consolidated financial statements and budgets.
Earlier, I worked as Finance Manager at Ambitions Consultations and Accounting Manager at ALJ Group (Toyota Co.). At ALJ Group, I participated in business expansion and ERP implementation and upgrades, including Oracle V.12 and a transition from Oracle to SAP.
