What I'm looking for

I’m looking to drive finance operations that strengthen budgeting, reporting accuracy, payroll administration, and cost control—using ERP tools—to improve internal controls and deliver clear management insights.

I’m an MBA-qualified finance operations professional with 7+ years of experience supporting financial reporting, budgeting, payroll, cost control, cash flow management, and VAT compliance across Qatar, the UAE, and Pakistan. I focus on accuracy, internal controls, and turning day-to-day finance work into better decision support.

In my recent roles, I’ve supported multi million-budget operations, including managing annual budgets exceeding QAR 8 million and strengthening variance analysis and expense monitoring. I oversee processes like accounts payable/receivable, bank reconciliations, inventory oversight, and audit coordination to keep operations efficient and reporting reliable.

I bring hands-on ERP-based reporting experience using Odoo, Tally Prime, and Munshi-10, alongside strong management reporting and administrative finance capabilities. I also lead payroll administration for 30+ staff and help improve reporting workflows so teams can move faster with confidence.
