Mohammad Hamza

I am a Qualified Chartered Accountant with over 5 years of professional experience in audit, taxation, assurance, and advisory services. I started my career in the tax department of a Chartered Accountancy firm and later transitioned into audit and assurance, where I progressed from Audit Junior to managerial roles through consistent performance and professional growth.

Over the years, I have worked with diversified clients across industries including real estate, manufacturing, construction, education, pharmaceuticals, and non-profits. My experience includes external audits, financial reporting, tax compliance, transaction advisory, ERP implementation, and process improvement assignments. I have also worked closely with large business groups such as Punjab Group of Colleges and Vision Group in managerial capacities involving assurance and tax matters.

Technically, I am comfortable with IFRS, auditing standards, tax laws, Advanced Excel, Power BI, and ERP systems. Alongside technical skills, I believe my strengths are adaptability, leadership, communication, and the ability to perform well under pressure.

At this stage of my career, I am looking to transition into the corporate sector where I can utilize my professional experience in a dynamic and growth-oriented organization while continuing to learn and grow professionally.
