I'm Saad Ahsan, an ICAP Chartered Accountant (ACA) and SOCPA member with 4.5+ years across audit & assurance, financial reporting, budgeting and FP&A.
I started my career in external audit with Baker Tilly, auditing manufacturing and textile groups under IFRS and ISA, before moving into industry to lead FP&A, costing and SAP S/4HANA reporting for a large manufacturer. Today I work in Riyadh with a CPA firm, supporting Saudi companies with financial reporting, zakat, VAT and corporate tax.
I focus on clear explanations, attention to detail and using technology and automation to save time.
