About Waleed Shaikh

I am Waleed Shaikh, a Chartered Accountant and Certified Financial Planner, with strong expertise in real estate finance, construction accounting, and compliance. I bring a proven track record of applying Ind AS (converged with IFRS) in real estate and financial reporting. My professional journey includes working with developers, contractors, and NBFCs, where I handled: Ind AS 115 (Revenue from Real Estate Contracts – aligned with IFRS 15) Ind AS 116 (Leases – aligned with IFRS 16, including lease-to-asset conversions) Project cash flows, budgeting, and MIS reporting Deposits, RoU assets, and inventory-to-asset conversions Earlier, with firms like Aditya Lunkar & Associates, Pipara & Co LLP, and Dharmendra Salecha & Associates, I built a strong foundation in audits, taxation, GST refunds, and assessments. My initiative to automate audit processes with Excel macros improved reporting efficiency by 400%, showcasing my ability to merge technology with finance. With UAE’s evolving financial ecosystem — VAT, Corporate Tax, ESR, AML, and RERA — I am currently enhancing my expertise through ICAI UAE courses and practical case reviews of developers like Emaar, Sobha, Danube, and Damac, enabling a smooth transition of my Ind AS/Indian tax background into UAE IFRS and regulatory compliance I bring value through: Deep exposure to real estate finance and Ind AS–IFRS aligned compliance Strong expertise in audit, taxation, and MIS reporting ERP knowledge (SAP, FarVision, Tally, Excel automation) Ability to bridge Indian CA expertise with UAE regulations I am actively seeking opportunities in real estate developers, construction companies, and corporate finance roles, where I can contribute from day one and grow with the organization.
