What I'm looking for

I'm open to finance, accounting, and automation roles in the UAE or remotely with UK and US businesses, where I can combine IFRS reporting, tax compliance, ERP systems, and AI-assisted workflow automation.

At Entegrix, I run finance and advisory for UK, UAE, and US clients, covering bookkeeping, IFRS reporting, VAT, Corporate Tax, and UAE company setup. I build automated finance operations on Zoho CRM using Claude Code.

I automated deal-to-invoice billing, Stripe and bank reconciliation, payment tracking, overdue-account flags, and tax-aware approval workflows. Previously at Amex Cars DMCC, I owned month-end close and IFRS reporting for an AED 15 million business, recovered AED 150,000 in receivables, and filed eight consecutive UAE VAT returns.

My audit and tax background includes supervising engagements, managing SECP compliance for 150+ clients, and supporting ERP migrations and reconciliations. I'm a CBA and ACCA finalist based in Pakistan, open to UAE and remote UK and US roles.
