Talent's About

I am a CA Finalist at the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP) with 4 years of progressive experience in external audit, financial reporting, internal controls, and taxation. I bring a proven track record of delivering high-quality audit engagements across Pakistan, and I am keen to contribute my expertise to your organization. Currently, as an Audit Senior at Grant Thornton, I manage end-to-end audit engagements, from planning and risk assessment through execution, documentation, and reporting, in alignment with IFRS, ISAs, and firm methodologies. My role includes designing audit strategies, performing substantive and control procedures, preparing financial statements, and delivering audit outputs with a strong focus on accuracy, quality, and regulatory compliance. I have also contributed to enhancing audit efficiency through structured engagement planning and effective working paper management. I have developed robust technical expertise across key financial statement areas, including revenue, receivables, expected credit losses (ECL), cost of sales, loans, investments, and financial instruments. My experience spans diverse industries such as manufacturing, financial services, asset management, IT, nonprofit organization and services. Alongside audit, I have practical experience in tax compliance and advisory, including preparation and filing of income tax, sales tax, and withholding tax returns for individuals, AOPs, and corporate entities. I have also managed tax notices, appeals, and regulatory correspondence, and supported client representations before tax authorities for exemptions and compliance resolutions. This combined audit and tax exposure enables me to deliver integrated insights across financial and regulatory domains. Throughout my professional journey, I have consistently contributed to improving audit efficiency, maintaining engagement timelines, enhancing documentation quality, and delivering high-quality outcomes. I bring strong analytical capabilities, professional skepticism, attention to detail, and the ability to collaborate effectively in fast-paced, demanding environments.
