01 — BEHIND THE CONTENT

Built from the work.
Not around it.

Eight years in external audit and assurance across the Gulf and the Levant, at manager level in international audit firms.

Stylized portrait of the person behind PeakMind content
The practitioner behind the material

The work has spanned large multinational groups in the energy and Islamic banking sectors — including a first-time IFRS 9 implementation, complex consolidations, and technical IFRS consultation.

CPA and CMA qualified, with a background in leading and coaching audit teams.

PeakMind exists because the gap between what universities teach and what finance work actually demands is wide — and nobody was closing it in Arabic.
