About Rezwan

As a qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA, India) and ACCA finalist with over 9 years of global experience, I specialize in delivering strategic financial solutions that drive performance, compliance, and profitability. My background spans diverse industries - professional services, real estate, hospitality, manufacturing, and health tech - with hands-on exposure in India, Dubai, and Qatar. I bring deep expertise in financial reporting under IFRS and US GAAP, budgeting and forecasting, month-end closures, and FP&A. I have led high-impact roles in top-tier firms like EXL, EY Consulting, ZAD Holding Company, and Practus Professional Services, managing financial operations for up to $60 million in business portfolios.

My approach is analytical, results-oriented, and collaborative. I’ve consistently enhanced financial accuracy, streamlined reporting cycles, and enabled data-driven decisions through detailed variance analysis, management reporting, and pricing strategies. Whether preparing statutory financials, leading budgeting cycles (2+10 to 9+3 models), managing AP/AR, or reconciling complex accounts across multiple systems like SAP S4 Hana, Oracle, and Xero, I deliver with precision. I’ve been recognized with awards such as the Shukran Award (EY, Dubai), Circle of Excellence (EXL), and Silent Achiever (EXL), reflecting my dedication to quality and stakeholder trust.

I now offer my services as a freelance accountant and finance expert, helping businesses navigate accounting complexities, enhance controls, and achieve compliance with global standards. From IFRS reporting, dashboards, and cost analysis to cash flow planning and audit support—I provide end-to-end finance solutions with confidentiality, clarity, and integrity. If you’re seeking a reliable, globally experienced finance professional to support your business or project, let’s connect and explore how I can add value to your team.
