I have a strong methodical and reasoned background, which I have further developed during my time at APCO
Worldwide by redesigning their financial processes to be more efficient, in line with company compliance
policies and audit requirements. I have experience applying multiple valuation methods to firms, which I was
introduced to during my studies and I have built upon in my own readings and practical experiments. In my
role at APCO Worldwide I have further enhanced my skills as an analyst through my routine assessment of
their financial performance and the development of their long term financial forecasts.

Education
Bachelors of Commerce - Finance (with distinction/cum laude)
University of Wollongong - Australia (2010 - 2014)

Certifications
Diplme Universitaire - French Language
Universit Paris-Sorbonne Abu Dhabi - UAE (2009)

Employment History
External Financial Consultant - IMEA
APCO Worldwide - Dubai, UAE (July 2013 to present)

On my input, prior financial procedures have been overhauled to facilitate better annual audit
compliance, greater efficiency and more accurate monthly reporting. I continue to direct the finance
team in the implementation of these new procedures.
I have deep knowledge and practical experience in all roles within a finance team. I step in to assist as
and where needed to ensure deadlines are met.
Developing detailed cost and revenue forecasts on a quarterly basis, by which monthly performance
can be evaluated.
Frequent liaising with management at various levels to ensure smooth communication in regards to
new client/business leads and the maintenance of the identified new business pipeline through all
phases leading up to the signing of a final contract.
Performing project reviews in a general manner each month and in detail upon either management
request or the identifications of any anomalies within the accounts. I then present a solution to
management and lead the finance team through the steps necessary to resolve the issue.
Year end audit preparation: I act as the delegator of key audit responsibilities to the finance team and
am responsible for all information delivered to the external auditors.

Key Accomplishments
Capstone Project: Writing of a Sell Side Analyst Report
This involved:
Creating custom excel models/templates to standardize financial statements and extract key ratios.
Evaluating current market conditions, assessing their impact upon the firm and highlighting possible
risks faced during the coming years.
Forecasting future Balance Sheet and Income Statements with a minimum number of assumptions to
maintain a prudent and conservative outlook.
Generating a final one year future valuation using both Asset and Cash Flow based models.
Development of a Financial Reporting Package for Management
Using excel models I created, I streamlined the generation of monthly Key Performance Indicators and
present them to management within an easily grasped presentation template on a monthly basis.
Development of a Procedural Handbook for the Finance Department
I went through each financial process within the department and restructured them to be more efficient
and compliant. These guidelines ensure smooth period transitions month-to-month and automatically
organize articles that will be required for the year-end audit. The physical filing system was also
redesigned to allow for the streamlined retrieval of items.
I created multiple excel models to enable easier task performance and daily tracking of key items.
The new procedures allow for the finance department to take a more active role in guiding
management decisions, as well as the ability to provide accurate information in a timely and efficient
manner.
Management & Allocation of Assets in Excess of CAD $ 400,000
The investment style I have employed focuses on safety of principal through the establishment of stable,
long term cash flows. The possible appreciation of these investments is taken into account, but not
depended upon and the monthly income generated is re-invested to boost returns.
Rebalancing is done every six months, with an outlook to hedge, where possible, against adverse
interest rate and currency fluctuations. A conservative holding of cash is kept to guard against abrupt
market movements and provide liquidity for asset purchases should they reach an attractive valuation.
