About Bilal Ahmed

I am a Senior Finance, Reporting and Controls Consultant with 15+ years across PwC UK, PwC Middle East, KPMG UK/Qatar and EY.

My expertise covers IFRS reporting, multi-entity consolidations, treasury and liquidity oversight, regulatory reporting, ICFR/SOX frameworks, and finance-function optimisation.

I work with banks, asset managers, investment firms and diversified groups across the UK, GCC and Europe.

Clients typically bring me in to:
• Improve the quality and reliability of financial reporting
• Strengthen governance, risk and internal controls
• Support external audit preparation and remediation
• Optimise month-end close, reconciliations and MI packs
• Enhance treasury, liquidity and financial instruments processes
• Deliver IFRS technical support and consolidation improvements
• Prepare finance functions for scale, investment or IPO readiness

I bring a practical, hands-on approach backed by Big 4 rigour, ensuring fast onboarding, clear communication and measurable improvements. Available for fractional, advisory or project-based engagements (remote UK/US/EU/GCC).
