What I'm looking for

I seek a finance role where I can lead IFRS reporting, strengthen controls, drive forecasting and treasury functions, and grow into broader finance leadership.

I am an experienced accountant with over five years of progressive finance experience across multinational companies, including GCC exposure in Saudi Arabia. I specialize in IFRS reporting, full-cycle accounting, and large-scale ERP systems such as Oracle, Microsoft GP, and QuickBooks.

My background includes leading external audits, managing month-end and year-end closings, and delivering accurate financial statements and forecasting to senior leadership. I have overseen treasury functions, payroll processing including WPS, VAT reconciliation for KSA, and UAE corporate tax familiarity.

I have demonstrated team leadership as a Deputy Manager of Finance and have held roles that required hands-on bookkeeping, AP/AR and bank reconciliations, fixed asset management, and detailed financial modelling. I consistently use advanced Excel and ERP tools to streamline processes and improve reporting accuracy.

I hold an M.Com in Finance and have completed nine ACCA papers (including FIA). I am immediately available, open to relocation, and bring a pragmatic, audit-focused approach to strengthen financial controls and support strategic decision-making.
