What I'm looking for

Open to remote roles across finance, accounting, operations, administration, business support, data, systems, and related functions.

I've led finance operations, budgeting, P&L management, and regulatory reporting at Beacon Private School in Bahrain, reducing annual operating costs by an estimated 12–15%.

At Mayapur Institute, I improved forecasting accuracy by 10–15%, reduced audit findings by roughly one-third, and shortened month-end close from approximately 10 to 6 days. I also led finance professionals and improved reporting turnaround by an estimated 20%.

At Hira Walraven in Dubai, I reduced financial statement discrepancies by an estimated 25–30% through SAP HANA reconciliations and earned promotion from Accountant to in-house SAP FICO Consultant within 18 months.

Across UAE, Bahrain, and India, I've managed accounting, tax compliance, AP/AR, financial reporting, internal controls, and cross-border client operations. I'm available for remote finance and accounting engagements with overlap across US and European working hours.
