Karāchi, Sindh, Pakistan
Senior Finance Professional with ~17 years of experience across FP&A, financial reporting, controllership, internal audit, and ERP transformation, with exposure to Pakistan, UAE, and US-based businesses. Most recently, I worked within a private-equity-style software environment, managing multi-entity US GAAP reporting, SaaS revenue recognition, intercompany consolidations, and end-to-end financial operations across global operating companies. Key strengths include: • Accelerating month-end close cycles (15 → 5 days) • Leading ERP migrations (QuickBooks → NetSuite / SAP / Sage Intacct) • Driving audit readiness for Big 4 and international firms • Managing multi-state US tax compliance and cross-border reporting My experience spans Big 4 audit, public sector finance, consulting, and global remote roles: combining strong technical accounting expertise with a practical, business-focused approach to finance. I have consistently worked in fast-paced, high-accountability environments, independently managing multiple entities while collaborating with cross-functional and geographically dispersed teams. I am currently exploring senior-level global opportunities (FP&A / Finance Manager / Financial Controller) where I can contribute to building scalable finance functions, improving reporting efficiency, and supporting strategic decision-making. 📩 Open to Remote | Relocation | International Opportunities
