About

• Welcome to my LinkedIn profile! I am an ACCA Qualified, ICAEW Finalist, and CFA Level 1 candidate with hands-on experience in Audit & Assurance currently working as Audit Supervisor at KPMG Saudi Arabia with prior experience EY Ford Rhodes and Risk Consulting at PwC. I help organizations strengthen financial integrity, manage risk proactively, and navigate complex reporting environments with confidence. Currently leading audit engagements in Saudi Arabia’s evolving regulatory landscape, I supervise teams, manage stakeholder relationships, and deliver high-quality audits aligned with IFRS and ISAs — with a sharp focus on risk, governance, and commercial impact. My journey reflects accelerated growth and consistent top performance across Big 4 firms including EY Ford Rhodes and PwC. I progressed rapidly at EY based on performance excellence and have worked on complex, high-value engagements across Telecommunications, FMCG, IT, Power, Manufacturing, and Financial Services. I have contributed to audits and advisory assignments involving market leaders such as Nestlé, PTCL, Ufone, and S&P Global — strengthening internal controls, identifying risk exposures, and enhancing reporting transparency. What differentiates me: • I think like a business advisor, not just an auditor • I lead teams that deliver under pressure and tight deadlines • I combine technical IFRS expertise with data-driven insight • I communicate confidently with senior management and partners • I focus on value creation — not checklist compliance Core Strengths: • Audit & Assurance Leadership • Risk-Based Auditing & Internal Controls • Financial Reporting (IFRS / ISAs) • Data Analytics & ERP Systems (SAP, Oracle) • Stakeholder Management • Team Development & Mentoring My long-term vision is to operate at the intersection of audit quality, corporate finance, and strategic advisory — contributing to stronger capital markets and mentoring the next generation of finance professionals. If you are looking for a high-performing audit professional who brings technical depth, leadership maturity, and commercial awareness — let’s connect.
