Accounting Manager at Maaloomatiia Group
  • Lebanon - Beirut
  • My current job since January 2013


Procured and implemented the company’s accounting system in 2013 that was in compliance with the Lebanese laws and maintained it for 10 years.

Working on quarterly requirements for tax declarations and yearly audit requirements.

Suggested strategies to minimize cost by more than 35% and retain employees during the Lebanese economic crisis and the global pandemic that were successfully implemented and helped alleviate doubts about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern which in turn led to the company being seriously considered for acquisition as per the owners’ aspiration during that time.

Worked solely to meet the due diligence requirements of a team of 5 prior to Maaloomatiia Arabian Gulf’s acquisition.

Collaborated with Midis’ finance team to implement the group’s new policies and achieved full company integration by January 2023
