What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

I am a dedicated accounting professional with extensive experience in managing full accounting cycles and financial reporting. Currently, I serve as the Accounting Section Head at Alpha Concrete, where I oversee monthly reporting to the CFO and CEO, and prepare tax reports for the tax authority. My role involves ensuring accuracy and compliance in all financial operations, which has honed my skills in financial management and strategic decision-making.

Previously, I held the position of Senior Accountant at Ali Bin Ali Holding, where I was responsible for verifying customer credit limits, maintaining general ledger mapping, and conducting sales variance analysis. My ability to supervise and guide team members has contributed to the successful implementation of new reporting requirements and the overall financial performance of accounts receivable. I have a strong background in treasury accounting and foreign wire transfers, which has equipped me with a comprehensive understanding of financial regulations and compliance.
