Karim Abdelhakim

I'm a seasoned finance and audit professional with over 15 years of experience spanning key roles across the financial spectrum — from accountant to external auditor, internal audit manager, and currently, financial controller. This journey has given me a 360-degree understanding of financial operations, risk management, compliance, and strategic decision-making.

I hold professional certifications including:

ACCA DipIFR – strengthening my expertise in international financial reporting standards

Certified Internal Auditor (CIA) – reinforcing my audit proficiency and integrity in governance

A significant part of my expertise is rooted in the Saudi Arabian regulatory landscape, where I’ve developed robust knowledge in Zakat, VAT, and other local compliance requirements — enabling me to guide businesses through ever-evolving financial and tax frameworks with confidence and precision.

Throughout my career, I’ve been known for:

Bringing ethical leadership to finance functions

Driving process improvements and control enhancements

Supporting informed decision-making with accurate, timely reporting

Fostering collaboration between finance, audit, and operational teams

I believe that strong financial leadership is not just about numbers — it’s about trust, transparency, and long-term value creation.
