Background

About Saadiya Shabbir

I am a seasoned Accounting & Compliance Manager with 8+ years of accounting management leadership and compliance experience in the tobacco manufacturing sector. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for building internal control systems to mitigate fraud, as well as for exercising regulation expertise to drive compliance, I have a verifiable history of contributing directly to company growth and expansion throughout my career. Professional focal points include general ledger operations, account reconciliations, budget management, financial statements, accounting regulations, risk mitigation, and performance reviews. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires utilization of effective communication skills, negotiation skills, as well as financial acumen, data analysis, project management and resource management to support efficiency and maximum returns. Formerly, I was the Accounting & Compliance Manager with Japan Tobacco International. Under my leadership, I monitored company’s financial statements (income, balance sheets, cash flow) for accuracy and compliance with GAAP/IFRS accounting principles. I also supervised the general ledger for accurate transaction records, tracked internal control systems for fraud, and aided CFO as Risk Champion for ERM to scrutinize all risks for US entities. In addition, I liaised with senior leadership, stakeholders, and accounting teams to ensure the company’s compliance support structure was driving the business forward with minimal expenditures. Colleagues describe me as a progressive, driven, down-to-earth, proactive, analytical, detail-oriented, and managerial accounting expert who can be relied on to offer superior compliance solutions that deliver profitable results on time and under budget. I am interested in contacting former colleagues and managers, as well as other professionals in my field. Feel free to contact me through this profile if you wish to connect.
