At Margalla Heavy Industries Limited, I prepared consolidated financial statements for 2–3 group entities in compliance with IFRS and reported to the CFO. I also handled month-end closing and reconciliations across general ledger and intercompany accounts.

I oversaw payroll processing and compliance, and led inventory accounting covering PKR 942 million in stock value. I participated in the Care 4.0 ERP implementation, including process mapping, data migration planning, and system validation.

At Grant Thornton Pakistan, I managed audit engagements for clients across six industries and finalized statutory financial statements and reporting packages. I also supervised junior auditors and reviewed financial controls, asset registers, and inventory accounting.

At Ernst & Young (EY) Pakistan, I assisted with corporate and individual tax returns and conducted tax research. I’m ACCA qualified and a CA Finalist with 13 of 20 ICAP papers passed.
