Safi Afzal

I’m a Chartered Accountancy finalist (ICAP) and Audit & Tax Associate with 3+ years of experience in external audit, taxation, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance. I focus on audit-ready accuracy, clear governance, and practical resolution of complex accounting and tax issues.

In my current role with Yaqub & Co. (QCR Rated Firm), I’ve executed 25+ external audit assignments from planning through completion, ensuring compliance with IFRS and ISA. I lead substantive and analytical procedures, review 80+ financial statements and supporting schedules, and evaluate internal controls across 20+ organizations to strengthen risk management.

I also manage tax compliance for 80+ corporate, AOP, and individual clients, ensuring timely regulatory filings and accurate submissions. I’ve maintained fully compliant audit working papers across 12+ engagements with zero non-compliance findings, and I improved documentation practices using standardized templates—reducing review time by 25%.
