Why me

Mission alignment

Northstar promises that every shipment arrives on time. The finance team behind that promise needs the same discipline: closes that land on schedule and numbers people can trust.

The right moment

Northstar is opening new hubs across the Emirates, the moment when finance processes become a foundation or a bottleneck. I built standard controls from scratch before, and want to do it here.

What I bring

An audit background means real fluency in controls, multi-entity groups and audit preparation. Hands-on VAT and corporate tax work means I’m useful from day one.

Your culture, my default

I don’t want a role where I only follow instructions. I want ownership: high standards without bureaucracy is where I do my best work.

Let’s talk.
