About Waseem

I help finance leaders and growing organisations improve control, visibility, and efficiency across their finance function.

I’m a CIMA-qualified Financial Controller / Finance Manager with strong experience in interim roles, supporting businesses through month-end, year-end, audits, and periods of change. I specialise in process automation, streamlining reporting, and improving how financial information is produced and used.

What differentiates me is my ability to combine hands-on accounting expertise with automation and data skills. I regularly replace manual, error-prone processes with automated reporting solutions using advanced Excel (VBA), Power BI, and ERP systems, reducing close timelines and improving decision-quality insight.

I typically deliver:

Management and statutory accounts

Budgeting, forecasting, and cashflow models

Automated reporting and dashboarding

Balance sheet clean-ups and control remediation

ERP implementations and upgrades (SAP, Oracle, Dynamics, IFS)

IFRS 15 / IFRS 16 support

Interim Financial Controller / Finance Manager cover

I’m usually engaged where finance processes need fixing fast — bringing structure, automation, and clarity to complex environments.
