My current role as an Analyst in Financial Control at Bestway Consultancy Services involves a range of critical responsibilities that showcase my expertise in financial management. I excel in preparing comprehensive financial statements, including balance sheets, income statements, and cash flow statements, ensuring they adhere to accounting standards and regulations. My proficiency in month-end closings involves reconciling accounts, recording adjusting entries, and preparing reports that reflect the organization’s financial position accurately.

I lead the monthly intercompany reconciliation process, where I ensure the accuracy and timeliness of resolving discrepancies between entities. This role requires meticulous attention to detail and a thorough understanding of accounting principles, which I apply to maintain accurate general ledger accounts and reconcile them with subsidiary ledgers, bank statements, and other financial records. I am adept at identifying opportunities to streamline accounting processes, enhance controls, and improve the overall efficiency of financial operations.

In addition to my current role, my experience as a Senior Audit Associate at Baker Tilly Pakistan provided me with extensive exposure to external audits. I managed audit engagements from planning through execution and completion, which included determining materiality, assessing risks, and managing audit teams. My role involved applying International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) and International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) during assurance engagements, and assisting clients with the preparation of financial statements in compliance with regulatory requirements.

Furthermore, my time as a Tax Associate at Khilji Rahat Waheed Chartered Accountants honed my skills in tax preparation and compliance. I was responsible for preparing and reviewing various tax returns, utilizing tax software applications to streamline processes, and communicating effectively with clients to address their tax-related inquiries and concerns.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated strong analytical abilities, effective communication skills, and a commitment to continuous improvement. My hands-on experience with various financial systems and my ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams have equipped me with the knowledge and skills necessary to contribute effectively to any finance team.

Overall, my background in financial control, external audits, and tax preparation, combined with my leadership experience and commitment to excellence, positions me as a valuable asset to any organization seeking a dedicated finance professional.
