Khalil Rehman

I am a finance professional with over 11 years of diverse experience across Financial Planning & Analysis (FP&A), Treasury and Working Capital Management, Financial Reporting, Taxation, and Digital Transformation within the finance function. Throughout my career, I’ve had the opportunity to work across multiple industries including retail, fashion, hospitality, construction, and media, where I’ve consistently contributed to improving financial performance, enhancing operational efficiency, and supporting senior leadership in strategic decision-making.

Currently, I serve as the Finance Manager at BinHendi Holding in Dubai, where I lead FP&A activities, cash flow and treasury management, budgeting, and ensure full regulatory compliance across various business units. I take pride in my ability to consolidate complex data into clear, actionable insights that support key business decisions. Beyond traditional finance responsibilities, I’ve been fortunate to spearhead initiatives that drive operational excellence, such as the successful Oracle NetSuite ERP implementation and transforming the finance function into a fully paperless operation.

Prior to this, I worked as Chief Accountant at both BinHendi Holding and GroupM MENA. These roles allowed me to further sharpen my skills in financial reporting, variance analysis, audit coordination, and cash flow management. Earlier in my career at Shell Bird Electromechanical Works LLC, I was promoted from Accounting Officer to Accounting & Finance Manager, leading a multicultural team and driving improvements in reporting accuracy, project-based financial forecasting, and overall financial governance. My efforts there contributed directly to significant business outcomes, including securing over AED 250M in project financing, achieving 35% reduction in material redundancy, and playing a key role in revenue growth through enhanced financial visibility.

I’m passionate about leveraging technology to improve financial processes and have developed expertise in tools like Excel, Power BI, and SAP BFC. I also hold certifications in Excel, Power BI, and AI in Finance. I’m a proud ACCA member since 2010 and have always valued continuous learning and professional growth. Additionally, I’ve shared my knowledge through training sessions on Microsoft Excel and VAT within the organizations I’ve served.

What drives me every day is my commitment to integrity, collaboration, and delivering value through finance. I believe finance is not just about numbers — it’s about helping organizations make better, smarter decisions.
