What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative work environment.

As a Senior Accountant at The Game Changer Accountants Corp in Canada, I have honed my skills in managing complex financial tasks and optimizing financial operations for clients across various industries. With two years of experience in this role, I have developed a comprehensive understanding of accounting software such as QuickBooks and Xero, which has enabled me to deliver exceptional financial services.

Previously, I worked as an Advisory Associate at KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co., where I provided transaction advisory and business process redesign services to clients in the development, telecommunication, services, and financial sectors. My role involved conducting internal and external audits, financial modeling, and feasibility studies, which equipped me with a robust analytical skill set and a keen eye for detail.

I am an ACCA member with a BSc (Honours) in Applied Accounting from Oxford Brookes University, London. My diverse experience, combined with my strong communication skills in English and Urdu, allows me to effectively collaborate with clients and stakeholders to enhance their financial management capabilities.
