Message

At Global Communities, I supported finance and accounting operations, from cash-flow projections and reconciliations to financial reporting and donor compliance. I reviewed transactions and supporting documents, coordinated audit work, and contributed to financial systems and controls.

Earlier, as Head Of Support Services at Silkroad Development Agency, I managed HR, accounting, IT, media and public relations, and administration, while preparing budgets and financial reports. My experience also includes financial analysis at Ziraat Bankası and internal inspection at TEB.
