My career in finance began with a strong academic foundation. I pursued a Master’s in Economics from the University of Sargodha, where I honed my analytical skills and developed an understanding of macroeconomic and microeconomic trends. This knowledge laid the groundwork for my professional journey in finance and business.

Starting as an Audit Associate at Riaz Ahmad & Co., I worked with a diverse portfolio of clients across various industries, including:

• Koh-e-Noor Textile Mills: Conducting financial audits for a leading player in the textile sector.
• Heavy Mechanical Complex: Ensuring compliance and accuracy in financial reporting for this industrial heavyweight.
• Rastgar Engineering: Evaluating financial practices and providing insights for a major engineering company.
• Shaheen Medical Services: Reviewing financials for a key player in the healthcare industry.
• Outfitters: Auditing and enhancing financial processes for a well-known retail fashion brand.
• Helping Hand for Relief and Development (NGO): Ensuring accountability and transparency in financial management for this renowned nonprofit organization.

These experiences allowed me to navigate complex financial structures, gain exposure to diverse industries, and sharpen my expertise in tax compliance, auditing, and financial reporting.

Following my tenure at Riaz Ahmad & Co., I joined Seven Solutions, where I worked for three years. During this time, I gained invaluable experience in financial analysis, business strategy, and digital transformation. At Seven Solutions, I collaborated with clients across various sectors, assisting them with optimizing their financial operations, improving efficiency, and implementing innovative business solutions. My role there reinforced my belief in the importance of adaptability and the power of digital tools in achieving financial success.

Later, as Manager of Accounts and Finance at Karachi Tiles Mart, I gained hands-on experience managing finances, filing taxes, and advising leadership on strategic decisions.

These roles not only developed my technical expertise but also gave me an appreciation for the power of communication. I realized that finance is not just about numbers—it’s about making informed decisions. This realization inspired me to share my knowledge through blogging, helping readers simplify complex financial concepts.
