What I'm looking for

I'm looking for a finance and accounting role where I can strengthen reporting, controls, budgeting, cash flow planning, VAT compliance, and audit coordination across complex organizations.

I've managed financial closing, reporting, cash flow forecasting, VAT compliance, and audit coordination for Tractebel Engineering SA (ENGIE Group) across multiple GCC legal entities.

Currently, I support financial reporting, budget monitoring, contractor payment reviews, cash flow monitoring, and ZATCA compliance for the SAR 3.2 billion Makkah Bus Service programme through Crescar Project Management Consultancy. I also bring experience from Ultimate Security Services, where I managed general ledger, receivables, payables, reconciliations, budgets, and annual reporting.

My work is grounded in IFRS, SAP FICO, Excel, Power BI, and financial controls, with earlier audit planning and execution experience at Omer Adil & Co Chartered Accountants.
