What I'm looking for

I'm seeking to apply my analytical and quantitative skills in a finance or analyst role.

At CommonWealth Group, I manage full-cycle bookkeeping for U.S.-based SME clients and prepare monthly financial statements to support reporting and decision-making. I also process payroll and perform bank and credit card reconciliations across the client portfolio.

Previously, as a Junior Financial Accountant at Financial Consultancy, I prepared client reporting, analyzed portfolio trends, and assisted with financial forecast models. I hold a Master of Science in Finance from American University of Beirut and a Certified Management Accountant (CMA) credential; my academic projects included valuation models, a Monte Carlo VaR model, and a simulated multi-asset portfolio.
