What I'm looking for

I seek a finance or accounting role (Manager/Senior) in a dynamic organization where I can apply my tax, compliance, reporting, and control expertise to support strategic decisions and growth, ideally in Pakistan, UAE, or international markets.

I am a finance and accounting professional with over 13 years of progressive responsibility across corporate, manufacturing, construction, and public-sector environments. I hold professional qualifications including CIPFA (AFFL.) UK and FPFA Pakistan.

Throughout my career I have led financial reporting, budgeting, VAT and corporate tax compliance, audit coordination, and internal controls, delivering accurate statutory-compliant reporting and actionable insights to senior management.

In my current role as Manager Accounts & Taxation I manage end-to-end accounting and taxation functions, supervise a team of accountants, strengthen internal controls, and coordinate with auditors and regulators to ensure timely filings and compliance.

I am seeking finance- and accounting-focused roles such as Finance Manager, Accounting Manager, Senior Accountant, or Tax & Compliance Professional in Pakistan, UAE, or international markets where I can apply my technical skills and regulatory knowledge to support strategic decision-making.
