Internal Audit Associate at Zameen.com who cut voucher reviews from a multi-day backlog to same-day or two-day completion.

Pakistan
Message

At Zameen.com, I review accounts payable and conduct internal audits across 32 entities, checking 300–400 payment vouchers each week. I restructured the review workflow, reducing processing time from a multi-day backlog to same-day or two-day completion.

I investigate receipt-to-voucher mismatches, unsupported advances, and invoice legitimacy issues with finance and administrative teams before month-end close. I also perform monthly physical cash counts and petty cash reconciliations, and prepare audit reports in Advanced Excel.

At FMX Courier, I took on accounting and operational ownership of 28 branches within 13 months. I managed payables and receivables, reconciled ERP records with cash ledgers, and worked with branch managers on expenses, payroll, and documentation.

My earlier work spans bookkeeping, accounting, and banking across Pakistan, the UAE, and the UK. I’ve handled trade finance and Letters of Credit, NOSTRO and ledger reconciliations, AML/KYC documentation, and finance support for small businesses.
