About

Finance Leadership with Legal Depth & Digital Vision

I am a qualified Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with an MBA and an LLB specialising in corporate compliance — a rare combination that lets me lead finance functions with equal command of the numbers, the law, and the technology behind them.

As Group Chief Financial Officer of a large-scale company based in Lahore — operating in the pharma, food & cosmetics industry with exports to 30+ countries — I direct group-wide tax planning and compliance, accounts finalization under IFRS, treasury and credit lines, investment strategy, and SECP & regulatory affairs, while also heading enterprise ERP as the leader of a full SAP Business One implementation.

My earlier career spans audit & taxation leadership, corporate consulting on mergers, acquisitions and IPO processing, and professional practice in audit and tax — giving me a 360° view of business from ledger to boardroom.
