What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to bring financial insights, FP&A, financial modeling, and analytical expertise to a high-growth organization.

At Opsbreak Inc, I develop FP&A reports, financial models, forecasts, dashboards, and variance analysis across a $5M project portfolio. My work contributed to $150K in reduced operating expenses, a 15% faster month-end reporting cycle, and a 20% reduction in aged accounts receivable.

Previously at Meezan Bank, I analyzed a commercial loan portfolio exceeding $35M and supported financial reviews for 50+ clients. I bring experience in financial reporting, cash flow analysis, IFRS 15 revenue forecasting, audit support, and cross-functional business partnering.
