What I'm looking for

I'm looking for an immediately available senior finance leadership opportunity in the UAE where I can lead reporting, FP&A, controls, treasury, financing, and Board-level decision support.

I've led CFO-level finance across a regulated NBFC, a 20-outlet F&B and hospitality group, and an outsourced CFO practice. I deliver Board reporting, budgets, forecasts, financial controls, treasury, and actionable performance analysis.

At Neofin Hire Purchase, I maintained clean compliance across six quarterly NRB filings and 19 consecutive statutory tax filings with zero adverse findings. I managed NPR 400 million in banking facilities and led a 15-member finance and accounts team.

At Roadhouse Café, Group Restaurants, and Temple Tree Resort & Spa, I built the Group's first standardized MIS and KPI framework and reduced finance processing time by 20%. I also led a restructuring and merger that reduced combined corporate tax exposure by 25%.

Across KC Group Nepal and my outsourced CFO practice, I've secured multi-million-dollar financing for hydropower, manufacturing, hospitality, and working-capital projects. I bring cross-border procurement and trade experience spanning Japan, China, and India to senior finance leadership opportunities in the UAE.
