@yahyakazmisyed
I lead finance, HR, and operations teams to automate workflows, improve forecasting, and scale multi-market business performance.
What I'm looking for
At Akhuwat Microfinancing, I lead HR operations for 2,500+ employees and financial oversight for approximately 600 regional schools across six districts, improving workflow efficiency by 25%. Previously at Nex AIO, I led a remote finance team that accelerated month-end closes by 35% and reduced transaction error rates to less than 0.5% through cloud-accounting automation.
I've managed multi-currency budgets up to $5M in the UAE, built financial models that achieved 98.5% forecasting accuracy, and scaled service operations by 40%. My work combines financial reporting, payroll, compliance, process automation, talent operations, and cross-border stakeholder management across Pakistan, the UAE, and the United States.
