Hire the Best Financial Controllers

I build financial intelligence systems for operations-heavy companies that have outgrown their spreadsheets. My clients typically come to me after they've hired a finance team, bought the BI tool, and still spend 3 days a month manually assembling reports that should take 3 hours. Recent engagements: - Financial Intelligence Platform — $250M public school district. 12-tab executive command center replacing what used to take 3 analysts a full week every month. Now runs in under an hour. - Pricing & Margin System — commercial bakery scaling to wholesale. Density-aware recipe costing across mixed units, catching an error pattern that had been undercosting core ingredients by 100x. Rebuilt the entire batch pricing engine and packaging math in 48 hours. - Automated Reporting Pipeline — 90% reduction in manual data prep. 48,000 rows processed, 6,800 issues auto-resolved on first pass. - Revenue Operations at scale — 5 years building forecasting and payments infrastructure at a platform serving millions of users. Payments operation cleared $300K+ in daily profit at peak. Who I work best with: - Finance and operations leaders at $5M-$100M companies where reporting quality directly affects decisions - Founders scaling past the "spreadsheet as source of truth" phase and needing real infrastructure - CFOs and controllers inheriting reporting systems that need a rebuild without breaking what's working My stack: Excel, Google Sheets, Python, Apps Script, and AI-augmented reporting pipelines that generate real commentary on real numbers, not filler text. How engagements work: - Diagnostic engagement (2 weeks, $3,500) — I map your current reporting stack, identify the top 3 friction points, and deliver a prioritized remediation plan. Most clients use this as the on-ramp to a larger rebuild. - Focused rebuild (4-6 weeks, $8,500-$15,000) — I rebuild a specific reporting surface end-to-end. Board deck automation, monthly close package, variance analysis system, FP&A forecasting model. - Financial Intelligence System — Focused Build (6-10 weeks, $15,000-$35,000) — full rebuild of a reporting workflow with handoff documentation and team training. For smaller or exploratory work, hourly engagements are available at $95/hr. Currently: Manager of Financial Operations at a $250M public entity, with five years prior scaling financial data infrastructure at a platform serving millions. I work with two to three external clients at a time. If your team is losing hours a week to manual reporting, or your monthly close is eating days that should be hours, that's the problem I solve.

UAE businesses are bleeding money through messy books, unfiled VAT returns, and Corporate Tax obligations they don't fully understand. International SMEs are drowning in manual finance processes that should run automatically. I fix both — remotely, in Arabic and English. I'm a Dubai-based Fractional CFO and finance automation specialist with 8+ years managing finance functions for businesses up to AED 50M ($14M) in revenue across UAE, UK, and international markets. I don't just report your numbers — I fix the systems producing them. I combine CFO-level financial leadership with hands-on automation — building Zoho One and Makecom workflows that eliminate manual data entry, close your books in days not weeks, and give you real-time financial visibility without hiring a full-time finance team. What I deliver that most controllers cannot: — Monthly close with board-ready P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow — Finance workflow automation using Zoho One + Makecom — Cash flow forecasting (3–6 months rolling) — Budget vs actual variance reporting with management commentary — UAE Corporate Tax compliance, FTA gap analysis, and VAT structuring — Zoho Books and QuickBooks setup, cleanup, and integration — IFRS-compliant financial reporting for international businesses Who I work with: Growing SMEs — typically $1M–$20M revenue — whose finance systems haven't kept pace with their business. UAE companies needing full regulatory compliance. UK and international businesses needing remote CFO leadership and automated reporting. Results from current clients: Monthly close reduced from 3 weeks to under 7 days. Zero FTA penalties across all active engagements. Board-ready reporting delivered on fixed monthly retainer. I respond within 1 business hour during UAE hours (GMT+4). If your books are behind, your VAT is overdue, your numbers aren't trustworthy, or your finance process runs on spreadsheets and hope — message me.
