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.
