My Story

I began my accounting career in 2001 in Cairo, Egypt, and have since built a diverse portfolio of experience across nonprofit organizations, media companies, PR agencies, and e-commerce businesses. My journey has taken me from local accounting roles to managing finances for international organizations with operations spanning the U.S., Middle East, and Europe.

In 2003, I sat for the CPA Exam in California and completed the Audit section, which strengthened my grounding in U.S. GAAP and financial regulations. This foundation has been instrumental in serving U.S.-based clients remotely while maintaining high standards of accuracy and compliance.

Over the years, I've specialized in QuickBooks (Desktop and Online), financial reporting, e-commerce accounting, and remote team collaboration. I've helped organizations reduce expenses by up to 15%, improve reporting accuracy by 20%, and streamline month-end close processes from 10 days to 3 days.

My Mission: To provide startups and SMEs with the same level of financial expertise and strategic guidance that large corporations enjoyβ€”without the enterprise price tag. I believe every business deserves clean books, timely reports, and actionable insights to drive growth.
