Chartered Accountant

I am a qualified Chartered Accountant with over 10 years of professional experience in audit, accounting, taxation, and bookkeeping, spanning both public and private sectors. My career has equipped me with expertise in financial reporting, statutory compliance, and modern accounting tools such as Xero and QuickBooks, along with experience in managing remote finance operations efficiently.

Currently, I serve as an Audit Officer at Punjab Revenue Authority, a role I have held for six years. In this position, I conduct audits, review financial records, and ensure compliance with provincial tax regulations. My responsibilities include preparing detailed audit reports, analyzing financial statements, and supporting adherence to accounting standards and statutory requirements. This experience has strengthened my skills in auditing procedures, taxation, and regulatory compliance, while honing my analytical and reporting abilities.

Prior to this, I worked remotely as a Senior Finance Manager at Reliant Accountants & Business Solutions for one year. In this role, I managed accounting, bookkeeping, financial reporting, and budgeting for multiple clients using Xero and QuickBooks, demonstrating my ability to deliver accurate and timely financial insights in a virtual environment. This experience enhanced my proficiency in cloud-based accounting and remote client management, allowing me to handle multiple clients efficiently while maintaining high standards of accuracy.

I also served as Assistant Manager Finance at Al Shifa Trust Eye Hospital for eight months, where I oversaw day-to-day financial operations, prepared budgets, conducted internal audits, and managed accounting functions. This role provided me with hands-on exposure to healthcare finance management and operational accounting, helping me develop a strong understanding of budgeting, cost control, and financial efficiency in a fast-paced environment.

Earlier in my career, I worked as a Senior Audit Associate at KPMG Taseer Hadi & Co for three and a half years, conducting statutory and internal audits across diverse industries. This role helped me build a solid foundation in auditing standards, financial statement analysis, and client advisory services.

Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a consistent commitment to accuracy, compliance, and delivering actionable financial insights. My combined experience in audits, finance management, bookkeeping, taxation, and cloud-based accounting enables me to contribute effectively to organizations seeking robust financial governance and reliable reporting.
