What I'm looking for

I am seeking a finance role where I can lead internal controls, improve processes, support budgeting, and contribute to audit readiness within a collaborative, compliance-driven team.

I am a Chief Accountant with over 12 years of progressive experience in financial reporting, auditing, internal controls, and ERP systems across Lebanon and Saudi Arabia. I specialize in delivering accurate financial analysis, streamlining accounting processes, and ensuring compliance with policies and regulations.

In my current role as an Internal Controls Specialist, I coordinate accounting functions, prepare revenue and expenditure forecasts, support annual budgeting, and implement Standard Operating Procedures to strengthen governance. I have a proven track record of enhancing audit readiness through robust reconciliation and internal control procedures.

Previously, I worked as a Financial Analyst, Account Reconciliation Officer, Financial Planning Officer (remote), and Bookkeeper, handling balance sheets, income statements, cash flow reports, journal and payment vouchers, and audit preparation. I am proficient with multiple ERP and accounting systems including QuickBooks, Xero, INTEGRA, Silicon, EDM, Dolphin, and Socrate.

I bring strong team leadership and staff training experience, multilingual communication (Arabic, English, French), and solid technical skills in Microsoft Office. I am committed to supporting management decision-making through accurate financial planning, risk assessment, and timely reporting.
