What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging multi-jurisdiction payroll and tax expertise, with opportunities to improve processes, lead payroll operations, and collaborate across finance and HR.

I am a seasoned payroll and financial accountant with over six years of experience managing payroll, VAT/GST compliance, and full-cycle accounting across GCC and Australian jurisdictions. I have successfully processed payroll for 800+ employees, implemented accounting systems for new clients, and prepared accurate monthly financial reporting and reconciliations that support timely month-end closings.

I excel at leveraging cloud and ERP platforms (Xero, QuickBooks Online, SAP) to improve accuracy and efficiency, ensuring regulatory compliance with UAE VAT, GCC labor rules, and Australian GST/PAYG. I collaborate cross-functionally, maintain strict confidentiality with employee data, and drive process improvements that enhance payroll operations and client satisfaction.
