Fares Chahrour

I have over 14 years of progressive experience in Finance and Accounting across the Middle East and Asia. My most recent role was Finance Manager at Proven Solutions in Saudi Arabia and the UAE (Feb 2022 – Sep 2025), where I managed budgets, ensured tax compliance, and optimized cash flow, reducing financing costs by 10%. Before that, I served as Finance & Admin Manager at Garda World (2020 – 2021), focusing on payroll, regional tax compliance, and improving cash cycle efficiency through client billing optimization. As Accounting Manager at IPT Powertech (2015 – 2019), I led all accounting operations (GL, AP, AR, payroll), managed project costing, and prepared rolling budgets based on project forecasts. My career began as a Senior Accountant at DAMAC Properties (2013 – 2015), where I handled account receivables, performed monthly closing procedures (accruals and reconciliations), and assisted in yearly budgeting and variance analysis.
