What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead corporate tax, VAT, tax advisory, and dispute-resolution work where I can strengthen compliance frameworks, guide teams, and deliver measurable outcomes for complex local and cross-border clients.

I manage corporate tax, VAT, withholding tax, and litigation engagements at MAF Hasnain Consulting, following tax roles at Zulfiqar Ahmad & Company Chartered Accountants. I've advised clients on restructurings, cross-border tax matters, tax treaties, compliance frameworks, and IAS 12 provisions.

I've secured corporate tax refunds exceeding PKR 1 billion and input VAT condonation approvals exceeding PKR 900 million, while representing clients before tax authorities and appellate forums. My work spans major clients including PepsiCo, Nestlé Pakistan, Coca-Cola Beverages Pakistan, Systems Limited, Levi Strauss & Co., and MOL Oil & Gas Company B.V.
