Summary
Qualified accountant with eight years in manufacturing and retail finance across Punjab. I close month-end in four working days, own statutory audit and FBR filing end to end, and have led the move from spreadsheets to ERP for two mid-sized groups. Comfortable presenting numbers to owners who are not accountants.
