What I'm looking for

I am looking for a challenging role in finance where I can leverage my skills and contribute to organizational growth.

I am a dedicated finance professional with extensive experience in bookkeeping, accounting and financial management. Over the years, I have honed my skills in maintaining general ledgers, preparing financial statements, and managing tax obligations. My journey has taken me through various esteemed organizations, including A.F. Ferguson & Co. and Sidat Hyder Financials, where I have consistently contributed to financial reporting and management.

In my most recent role as Accounts Officer at A.F. Ferguson & Co., I have been responsible for preparing operating statements and managing the provident fund accounting system. My previous experience as a Finance Manager at Biotech Pakistan allowed me to develop my skills in management reporting and tax management, ensuring compliance and accuracy in financial practices. I pride myself on my attention to detail and my ability to work efficiently in high-pressure environments.

As a freelance Accounts & Finance Consultant, I have provided valuable services to both local and international clients, showcasing my versatility and adaptability in the finance sector. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, currently pursuing my Certified Management Accountant (CMA) certification to further enhance my expertise.
