“The world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.” — Sherlock Holmes
Helping organizations improve financial performance through accounting excellence, cost control, procurement optimization, financial reporting, VAT compliance, payroll management, and business analytics.
Finance & Cost Controller with 6 years of experience across the UAE and India, spanning financial accounting, reporting, cost control and procurement support. I act as a quality-control checkpoint before money moves — verifying invoices against purchase orders, controlling project costs, and producing the reports management relies on to make decisions.
My background covers the full accounting cycle: month-end and year-end close, UAE VAT and Corporate Tax, accounts payable and receivable, bank reconciliation, and end-to-end payroll under WPS. Across my roles I've helped control AED 25M+ in project value, processed payroll for 250+ staff, and prepared 2,500+ reports and reconciliations. I build clean, formula-driven reporting from scratch and am currently pursuing the CMA (USA) qualification.
Nine areas where I add measurable value across the finance, cost-control and procurement cycle.
Decision-grade P&L, balance sheet and cash-flow reporting, with variance, trend and ratio analysis that turns raw numbers into insight for management.
Project cost control, budget-vs-actual monitoring and forecasting models built from scratch — flagging overruns early to protect project margins.
Month-end and year-end close, reconciliations and journal review, with full audit preparation that keeps the books clean, accurate and defensible.
End-to-end PO control and invoice-to-PO verification — the control checkpoint that catches price and quantity discrepancies before any payment is released.
Supplier and client ledgers, tax invoices, statements of account and AR aging, with disciplined reconciliation to protect working capital.
Daily cash monitoring and multi-account bank reconciliation to keep the cash position accurate, controlled and always reconciled.
UAE VAT return preparation and filing with the FTA, and Corporate Tax (9%) compliance — accurate, on-time statutory reporting.
End-to-end payroll for 250+ staff under WPS, including EOSB, leave salary and final settlements in line with UAE labour law.
Hands-on across First Bit, Tally and other ERPs — simplifying formats and automating reporting to cut manual effort, errors and close time.
Representative dashboards and reports I prepare for management — built clean, formula-driven, and decision-ready.
Software and analytical skills I use day to day.
In finance and accounting, AI takes care of the repetitive layer — data entry, invoice-to-PO checking, drafting reports, and explaining figures — so I can focus on analysis, cost control, and judgement. I use it to work faster and with fewer errors, while every number is still verified against my source of truth.
My primary AI assistant for financial analysis, drafting management reports, and cross-checking figures — turning raw numbers into clear, decision-ready insight.
An agentic workspace I use to automate multi-step finance tasks — building workbooks, consolidating data, and preparing schedules end to end.
For automation and scripting — cleaning data, generating reconciliation files, and removing repetitive manual work from my reporting workflow.
Built into Excel, Outlook, and Teams — speeding up formulas, summarising threads, and polishing professional communication inside my daily Microsoft 365 stack.
A versatile assistant for quick drafting, brainstorming report structures, and explaining accounting concepts in plain terms as I learn and apply them.
Useful for research and working across Google tools — summarising documents and pulling together information when preparing for reviews and reporting.
My go-to for sourced research — checking UAE VAT, corporate tax, and e-invoicing updates with citations I can trace back and trust.
The mechanical work moves faster, so I can focus on the analysis and control that matter — the skills of a senior finance professional.
Simplified reporting formats from scratch to make data clearer and faster to use.
Tightened invoice-to-PO checks so pricing and quantity errors are caught before payment.
Built formula-driven Excel workbooks that reduce manual effort and rework.
Streamlined supplier verification and payment scheduling for smoother operations.
Prepared schedules, vouchers and documentation to support clean internal and external audits.
