What I'm looking for

I’m seeking an accounting and audit role in GCC & UK, where I can support audits, strengthen internal controls, manage reconciliations and documentation, and help ensure compliance and risk mitigation through clear reporting.

I’m a detail-oriented Audit Executive and accounting professional with 5+ years of experience across internal audit, financial accounting, reconciliation, and compliance. I support statutory audits and strengthen operational controls by identifying risks, fraud indicators, irregularities, and control weaknesses.

I bring hands-on experience with UAE accounting and VAT compliance through audit and VAT-focused work, including ledger scrutiny, account reconciliations, audit documentation, and VAT returns support. Alongside my audit background, I’ve managed purchase activities and inventory control, and I work confidently with tools including Tally ERP, QuickBooks, Zoho Books, Odoo, MS Excel, and SAP (FICO & MM).
