What I'm looking for

I’m looking for FP&A or financial advisory roles in Dubai where I can build rigorous independent models, strengthen forecasting and funding decisions, and grow in a performance-driven, commercial environment.

I’m a UAE-based financial analyst focused on FP&A and corporate finance, bringing direct exposure to corporate funding structures and end-to-end financial modelling. I’ve supported treasury and capital planning decisions through analysis of an AED 190M+ corporate funding portfolio.

I build independent, decision-ready models for capital budgeting, acquisition valuation, and DCF work—translating quantitative logic into commercial outcomes. In my FP&A role, I delivered Excel-based CapEx models (up to AED 5M) using NPV, IRR, payback, and scenario/sensitivity analysis.

My work also spans deal and risk evaluation: I independently produced NAV-based acquisition valuations, modeled IRR outcomes, and assessed accretion/dilution impacts for a live acquisition target. I’ve managed trade finance and working capital analysis, including an AED 50M Letters of Credit portfolio across 30+ monthly transactions, and conducted risk assessments across 20+ opportunities.

I complement my finance training with a STEM engineering foundation and a systems mindset from earlier work in quality/process analytics. I’m currently pursuing FMVA (CFI) and planning CFA Level I registration for 2026, aiming to grow into FP&A and financial advisory roles where structured, model-building thinking drives better decisions.
