What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my accounting, taxation, payroll, financial reporting, internal-control, and automation experience in a role where I can improve close processes, support compliance, and deliver decision-ready financial insight.

At MUFG Bank Pakistan Liaison Office, I managed end-to-end month-end, quarter-end, and year-end close for more than 12 years, keeping financial records current, accurate, and audit-ready.

I prepare journal entries, accruals, reconciliations, financial statements, management accounts, and cash flow reports. I also review payroll, statutory deductions, withholding tax, and Sindh sales tax compliance while coordinating directly with auditors and tax authorities.

I redesigned reconciliation workflows to reduce month-end close time by 30% while strengthening internal controls. My reporting work is grounded in IFRS and local regulatory standards, and I partner with department heads on budgets, forecasts, and variance analysis.

I'm also applying N8N automation and API/webhook integrations to simplify recurring finance and reporting workflows.
