## About

```text
At Lines & Angles Egypt, I help international clients enter and expand in the Egyptian market, from developing leads to navigating regulatory processes with government institutions.

I prepare monthly market intelligence and project progress reports, while overseeing project payments through Letters of Credit and Letters of Guarantee. I also use QuickBooks for financial tracking, reporting, and reconciliation.

Previously at PwC Egypt, I supported year-end audits for consumer goods corporations, tested financial data, reviewed audit documentation, and performed procedures across financial statement line items.

My earlier experience includes contributing to an internal analytical platform at Alvarez & Marsal in London and analysing financial statements, ratios, and financing solutions during a corporate banking internship at Barclays Bank Egypt.
