Executive Summary

Beyond accounting. Built for finance transformation.

Finance Systems Transformation

I help organisations replace fragmented, spreadsheet-driven finance operations with structured ERP operating models that improve governance, decision-making, and long-term scalability.

The outcome isn't simply a new ERP system—it is a finance function designed to grow.

ERP Transformation

Transitioned seven legal entities from spreadsheet-based accounting to a structured ERP operating model.

  • Chart of Accounts
  • Payment workflows
  • Reporting structure
  • Fixed Asset Register
  • HRMS requirements
  • Master data

Delivered without disrupting day-to-day finance operations.

Compliance by Design

Compliance should be embedded into finance operations—not added afterwards.

Translated Saudi ZATCA Phase 2 requirements into ERP specifications, customer master standards, and testing procedures.

Delivered production-ready workflows that enabled successful go-live across multiple entities.

Practical AI

I use AI to strengthen finance operations—not replace financial judgement.

Built practical AI workflows using Google Opal and EY AI tools to automate document processing while maintaining audit-quality outputs.

Building Systems That Scale

Across EY, ERP implementation, and finance operations, one capability has remained constant:

Translating finance, operational, and regulatory requirements into scalable business systems.

Business Impact

Four stories. One systems mindset.

Every supporting initiative — COA, FAR, HRMS, ESS, bulk upload, Apps Script, prompt architecture — is a chapter inside one of these four transformations.

Multi-Entity ERP Finance System
Flagship 01 — End-to-End Build

Multi-Entity ERP Finance System

Al Imtiaz Corner Logistics · 5 Legal Entities

Business Context

The organisation operated seven legal entities using spreadsheet-based accounting, fragmented approval workflows, and inconsistent financial structures that limited visibility, governance, and scalability.

The objective extended beyond implementing ERP software. It required designing a finance operating model capable of supporting growth while maintaining uninterrupted finance operations.

Why It Mattered

Before ERP configuration could begin, the underlying finance operating model had to be defined.

This included master data, governance rules, approval workflows, reporting structures, and internal controls that would shape how finance operated long after the software was implemented.

ZATCA Phase 2 e-Invoicing Integration

Business-side ERP Implementation · 3 Legal Entities

Business Context

Saudi Arabia's transition to ZATCA Phase 2 required more than connecting an ERP to a government platform.

Finance master data, invoice validation, document numbering, compliance controls, and operational workflows all had to be redesigned before invoices could be issued in production.

Why It Mattered

The implementation was not treated as a standalone compliance exercise.

Instead, regulatory requirements were embedded into finance operations through structured master data, ERP configuration, controlled testing, and production governance.

Flagship 03 — Regulatory Intelligence & AI Workflows

EY Regulatory Intelligence & AI Workflows

Ernst & Young GDS · 3 Awards

Business Context

Financial institutions operate in fast-changing regulatory environments where new guidance must be analysed, interpreted, and communicated quickly.

The challenge was to convert large volumes of regulatory publications into structured, actionable intelligence that business teams could understand and apply with confidence.

Why It Mattered

Traditional regulatory review is time-intensive and difficult to scale.

Rather than replacing human judgement, the objective was to augment regulatory analysis with AI-assisted workflows that improved speed, consistency, and knowledge quality while maintaining expert oversight.

Finance Process Automation

Google Opal · Apps Script · AI Workflow Automation

Business Context

Many finance teams continue to rely on repetitive document handling, spreadsheet manipulation, and manual data extraction for routine processes.

My objective has been to apply practical automation that reduces manual effort while preserving finance-grade accuracy, traceability, and operational control.

Why It Mattered

Automation should improve finance operations—not remove financial judgement.

Every solution was designed to eliminate repetitive work while ensuring finance teams retained visibility, auditability, and control over critical business processes.
