Senior Accountant and Dynamics 365 Business Central pro delivering IFRS reporting, VAT compliance, and ERP-driven financial efficiency.
PakistanWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior Accountant with 8.5+ years of experience across construction, trading, and service industries in the UAE, including nearly two years delivering full-cycle accounting remotely for a UAE-based employer. I specialize in full-cycle accounting, financial reporting, VAT compliance, and financial analysis aligned with IFRS and IAS standards.
I’m a Certified Microsoft Dynamics 365 professional, and I’ve successfully implemented a complete ERP system for a UAE construction business within just 2 months—streamlining financial operations. I manage multi-entity accounting, cost optimization, and use advanced MS Excel to turn data into decision-ready insights.
In my current role, I handle revenue accounting across multiple projects, manage contract payables and large volumes of supplier invoices, and prepare monthly, quarterly, and annual statements. Since transitioning to remote work in September 2024, I’ve maintained full ownership of revenue accounting, VAT compliance, and financial reporting independently while coordinating across time zones with the Dubai finance team and Federal Tax Authority contacts.
