What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic environment that fosters growth, leadership, and impactful projects.

I am a self-driven and goal-oriented professional with nearly 8 years of experience in assurance and business advisory services. Currently, I serve as a Senior Associate II (Assistant Manager) at A.F. FERGUSON & CO., Chartered Accountants, a member firm of the PwC network. My journey has been marked by a commitment to excellence, as evidenced by my ongoing pursuit of Chartered Accountancy qualification with the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). Since September 2022, I have been working remotely with PwC Netherlands, where I have successfully managed high-profile clients across various sectors, including energy and telecommunications.

My expertise lies in delivering high-quality audits and providing strategic business advisory services. I have led assurance engagements in compliance with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) and have collaborated with cross-functional teams to ensure comprehensive solutions tailored to client needs. My experience includes applying International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) and conducting risk assessments to enhance internal controls. I am passionate about leveraging my skills and international exposure to drive strategic value for organizations, contributing to high-impact projects, and developing my leadership capabilities in a dynamic environment.
