Sam Sabir

I am a finance professional with 17 years of experience across FMCG, Agri-Tech, EPC, INGO, and software industries. I specialize in operational finance, FP&A, taxation, reporting, and ERP implementation.

I have managed a CAPEX portfolio of $130M and OPEX of $50M, improved liquidity by $2M, extended payable days from 30 to 60 and reduced receivable days from 120 to 60. I designed a costing model that cut unit costs by 8% and improved margins by $1.5M, achieved 100% VAT compliance (UAE & KSA), and led ERP implementations for WMS, product costing, and working capital modules.

Previously, I reduced AR days from 120+ to 45, unlocking $3M in cash flow, automated reporting to cut month-end close from 7 days to 4, and partnered with commercial teams to save $1M annually through expiry and returns reduction. I managed CAPEX investments of $26M, improved forecast accuracy to 95%, identified $1.5M in overhead savings, reduced bad debts by 15%, and led SAP-FIORI reporting implementations.

I hold CPA (Australia), an MBA in Finance, and a Bachelor's in Accounting, and I am committed to building high-performing finance functions that drive profitability, operational efficiency, and scalable multi-entity finance operations.
