What I'm looking for

I am seeking bookkeeping, accounting assistance, or junior financial analysis roles. With experience in financial records management, reconciliations, and reporting, I aim to contribute to efficient operations. I am particularly interested in roles like Junior Accountant, Accounts Officer, or Bookkeeper, where I can grow my skills in finance.

Finance professional with 3+ years of experience in startup finance, financial operations, and accounting within a VC-backed fintech environment. I specialize in building structured finance systems, improving reporting accuracy, and supporting leadership with reliable financial insights.

Currently serving as Finance Manager at Metric, I oversee end-to-end financial operations including financial reporting, budgeting, cash flow management, bank reconciliations, accounts payable/receivable, payroll coordination, tax compliance, and cross-border fund management (US–Pakistan structure).

Core competencies include:
• Financial Reporting & Month-End Close
• Budgeting & Variance Analysis
• Cash Flow Forecasting
• FP&A Support & Management Reporting
• QuickBooks & Xero
• Internal Controls & Process Improvement
• Vendor & Procurement Management
• Regulatory & Tax Coordination

I have experience working directly with founders and cross-functional teams to implement cost controls, standardize financial processes, and improve visibility into financial performance in high-growth environments.

With a strong foundation in finance (BBA – Finance) and a long-term commitment to advancing in FP&A and strategic finance, I bring analytical rigor, operational discipline, and a problem-solving mindset to every role.

Open to opportunities in Finance, FP&A, Financial Analyst, and Accounting roles within growth-focused organizations.
