LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated and analytical professional with 16 years of experience in financial accounting, focused on financial reporting, regional accounting support, budgeting, and compliance with policies and standards.
As Regional Accounting Lead (MAIR), I review and analyze Profit & Loss statements and quarterly financial statements, run weekly reports for regional management, and handle daily accounting transactions—from invoice processing and disbursements to accruals, prepaid expenses, and depreciation. I also support internal controls through on-site visits, system access and user permissions reviews, and documentation for audits.
In prior roles including Country Controller and Accounting Manager, I managed Accounts Receivable and payroll, prepared monthly P&L and quarterly reporting, supported external audits, and ensured timely settlements through credit term follow-ups. I bring leadership through training new accounting employees and partnering with controllers to prepare yearly budgets.
