Nineteen years inside manufacturing P&Ls — paints, polyester, textiles — building cost architecture, defending margins, and answering to boards, auditors, and regulators.
Today that experience runs two mandates at once: the CFO office and boardroom at Buxly Paints, and the costing and budgeting engine at Berger Paints Pakistan — from federal budget impact analysis to board-grade strategy documents.
The throughline is the same discipline everywhere: numbers that can survive scrutiny, and decisions built on nothing less.
Also serves the profession as an ACCA Practical Experience Supervisor and ICAEW Quality Person Responsible for Training.
