Senior Group Accountant at Excelsa Group, leading multi-entity close and supporting consolidated financial statements across five countries.

Lebanon

Message

At Excelsa Group, I lead month-end close and support consolidated financial statements across subsidiaries in Lebanon, the UAE, the Cayman Islands, Algeria, and the US. I also prepare monthly management reports and oversee portfolio and investment accounting.

I prepare UAE corporate tax and VAT declarations, coordinate with external auditors, and manage intercompany reconciliations and cash-flow allocations. I also set up accounting for new group entities, including their charts of accounts and opening records.

At Coach Circle FZE, I led the migration from cash to accrual accounting, rebuilt the financial statements in an Excel model, and moved reconciled data into Zoho Books. I also corrected prior UAE VAT declaration errors and developed revenue recognition and VAT documentation frameworks.

Earlier, I managed accounting for a jewelry retail group at Falamank – Kanzy S.A.L. and led an ERP implementation for inventory and manufacturing at Mo Geneva S.A.L. I’m pursuing the CPA designation and hold a BA in Banking & Finance.
