Summary
Having gained significant familiarity with the operations of the United Nations and other international donors such as UNDP and UNICEF through my current role, I am confident in my suitability for employment within these esteemed organizations. Backed by a robust educational background and extensive experience in Finance and Accounts, I believe I bring valuable skills to contribute effectively to their missions.
As evidenced by my enclosed resume, I have served as Coordinator Finance Admin at SABAWON since January 2013. The nature of my responsibilities and duties closely mirrors those required for positions within the UN and other international donor agencies. I am confident in my ability to excel in fulfilling all delegated tasks and responsibilities. A notable achievement in this capacity is my role as the focal point for SABAWON in projects funded by both the UN and other international donors.
Consistently receiving commendable feedback from employers and funding partner organizations throughout my career underscores my strong commitment to executing responsibilities in a professional and effective manner. While I thrive in team environments, I am equally adept at working autonomously. Furthermore, my extensive experience in Finance Administration has honed my communication skills and instilled a goal-oriented mindset.
My qualifications directly align with the requirements of the positions I am pursuing. I hold a Master's in Business Administration (MBA) with a specialization in Finance from the Institute of Management Sciences Peshawar. Additionally, I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) accredited by The Association of International Certified Public Accountants (The ICPA) and hold membership with CPA Pro Accountants. Further bolstering my expertise, I have completed coursework in financial statement analysis from Virtual University.
