Profile

Accounting that owners can rely on

Clean books, a disciplined close, and reports that tell decision-makers where the money is going.

Loaai Abdalazez Ibrahim smiling, seated
Qena, EgyptRemote-ready

I'm Loaai, a Senior Accountant who owns the books end to end.

I bring 3+ years of experience across contracting, SaaS and outsourced accounting for Saudi companies.

Today I'm the sole finance professional at Noble Line, a fit-out, construction and solar energy contractor. I own accounting, project cost control, payroll and financial reporting for 50+ concurrent projects and report directly to the founding partners. In parallel, I manage the general ledger at Justclean across 7 countries on Microsoft Dynamics 365.

I also build the reports and tools that show decision-makers where every project stands, so they can price, spend and plan with confidence.

Accuracy

Accounts reconciled, differences investigated and explained.

Ownership

I run the books end to end, from the first entry to the final report.

Discipline

A structured close, month after month.

Systems

I build tools in Excel, Power Query and Claude Code to remove manual work.
