Finance & Accounts Manager and Financial Analyst, driving ERP-enabled reporting, VAT compliance, and cost-controlled growth.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Finance & Accounts Manager with 9 years of experience across manufacturing and multinational environments, specializing in financial operations, VAT compliance, and ERP-driven reporting. I focus on turning complex finance processes into clear, audit-ready outputs for leadership decision-making.
At Harmony Chem Ltd (Concern of Micro Fibre Group), I’ve led finance transformation by implementing ERP software, cutting reporting time by 40% and delivering monthly operational savings of BDT 100,000. I manage budgeting, forecasting, and cost control, driving annual cost savings of 8–10% through tighter expense management and better resource allocation.
Beyond day-to-day operations, I ensure rapid and reliable close—leading cross-functional coordination so monthly financial closure completes within 2 working days. I also support senior stakeholders with performance metrics, variance analysis, and KPI-focused dashboards to improve visibility into revenue and cost drivers.
Earlier roles strengthened my audit and compliance foundation, including leading audited accounts aligned with VAT and Tax laws and executing internal audit responsibilities with zero audit adjustments (previous year: 20). My background in cost/profitability analysis includes project profitability work that supported business restructuring and saved $500,000 in salary cost.
