Junior accounting and finance professional specializing in AR, reconciliations, and audit-ready reporting.
What I'm looking for
I’m a junior accountant and finance professional with hands-on experience across accounts receivable and reporting, including bank reconciliation, general ledger entries, journal entries, and financial reporting. I support month-end close with audit-ready documentation, and I focus on accuracy, traceability, and compliance.
Since January 2025, I’ve worked as an Accounts Receivable and Reporting Specialist for ETHADK FOR REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT in Cairo, Egypt. I manage accounts receivable and financial recordkeeping for a portfolio of 20 to 50 active client contracts, ensuring reporting accuracy by reconciling payment schedules, installment terms, and transaction records.
I also build practical tools to improve visibility and reduce manual work, including a formula-based AR tracker in Excel with running balances and payment status. When I spot issues—like a payment recording discrepancy between a client’s logged amount and the contractual value—I escalate it to prevent downstream revenue misstatement.
Before that, I completed an HR Intern role at BANQUE MISR (June 2021 to August 2021), where I maintained confidential employee records and payroll documentation in a regulated banking environment and supported internal review documentation. I hold five accounting and finance certifications and I’m familiar with IFRS and GAAP frameworks (conceptual), using advanced Excel and tools like QuickBooks, Xero, and CRM systems to deliver management-ready reporting.
