What I'm looking for

I'm seeking full-time, part-time, or remote accounting roles where I can deliver accurate reporting, compliance, reconciliations, payroll, and decision-ready financial analysis while continuing to develop IFRS expertise.

I've supported hospitality, shipping, retail, wholesale, and audit clients through financial reporting, tax compliance, payroll, reconciliations, and year-end closings.

As a freelance Senior Accountant, I built 2024 accounting records from scratch for two branches using bank statements and a prior-year general ledger. I also design financial procedures, prepare Excel-based payroll and P&L reports, and provide analysis for management decisions.

At Salt and Foam Services, I audited records for nine entities and resolved 100% of intercompany discrepancies while maintaining accurate VAT data. I bring hands-on experience with Xero, Zoho Books, Wizard Cloud, Lebanese GAAP, and IFRS-focused reporting.
