ACCA Affiliate accountant focused on audit, financial reporting, and VAT/corporate tax compliance for clients.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ACCA Affiliate and Accounting & Finance graduate with hands-on experience across statutory audits, financial reporting, and client-facing compliance work. Previously as an Accountant at IFZA Shared Services Center, I handled a 25+ client portfolio across diverse industries—driving accurate reconciliations, preparing financial statements, and managing VAT and Corporate Tax filings in line with Federal Tax Authority (FTA) regulations.
I bring structured attention to detail and operational discipline—processing journal entries, aging reports, and month-end closing activities while maintaining strong internal controls. I also grew through audit training at Baker Tilly (vouching, sampling, lead schedules, and financial statement rollovers) and leadership through the Global Audit Simulation reviewed by Big 5 firms (PWC, Deloitte, EY, KPMG, BDO), where I led a winning team of 7.
