Senior finance judgement,
without the overhead.
Daftar Advisory helps founders and CFOs prepare reliable financial statements, audit files, and transaction-ready numbers across KSA, UAE, and Jordan. One senior practitioner does the work and stands behind the number.
We help founders and CFOs get their numbers ready for audits, investors, banks, boards, and transactions — without hiring a large advisory firm.

The finance work that matters most — done by the person who knows it.
Most mid-size businesses can't justify Big Four fees — and don't get senior attention from one even when they pay it. Daftar fills that gap.
Fixed scope. Fixed fee.
- I open the Excel file, read the contracts, write the memo, and stand behind every number.
- No pyramid team. No junior analyst doing the work while a partner takes the call.
- Every engagement ships with a written deliverable and the working file — formulas visible, assumptions documented, sources cited.
- Advisory work — not a regulated audit. We don't sign audit opinions or file tax returns.
- Businesses preparing for a first external audit and needing the financial statements and documentation built properly before the auditor arrives
- CFOs or finance directors who need a second opinion on an IFRS position before it is signed off
- Founders raising capital or going through a transaction who need their numbers independently reviewed
- Finance teams in KSA, UAE, and Jordan looking for senior technical support without a large retainer
Four services. Every one starts with a free 30-minute call.
These are the four engagements that produce the clearest outcomes — a written memo, a working file, and a position you can defend.
Independent Technical Review
An independent review of your financial statements, accounting choices, or supporting files before they go to your auditor, board, or counterparty. Identifies errors, inconsistencies, and choices that need stronger evidence behind them.
IFRS Financial Statements
Full preparation of IFRS-compliant financial statements from your trial balance — balance sheet, income statement, cash flow, equity movements, and notes. Built with formula-driven working files so every number is traceable.
Audit Readiness & Remediation
For businesses heading into a first audit or returning after a difficult one. I identify the gaps, fix what can be fixed, and organise everything the auditor will need before they arrive — so the audit runs faster and cleaner.
Quality of Earnings
An independent analysis of reported earnings for buyers, sellers, or investors in a transaction. Separates recurring earnings from one-off items, identifies working capital patterns, and flags anything that changes the number.

Three things that make this practice different.
No marketing claims. These are the specific ways the work is structured — and why clients come back for the next engagement.
You speak to the person doing the work.
The practitioner who takes the scoping call is the same person who builds the financial statements, writes the memo, and delivers the file. No handoff to a junior team.
Fixed scope. Fixed fee. No surprises.
Every engagement is priced and scoped before work begins. What the work covers, what it does not cover, and what it costs — all written in the engagement letter before you commit.
The working file is yours.
Every deliverable ships with the editable working file — formulas intact, assumptions documented, sources cited. No proprietary models. No lock-in. You can extend the work yourself.
What the work actually looks like.
Two recent engagements, anonymised. The deliverable and outcome are exactly as they were.
IFRS 16 lease recomputation across 47 contracts.
The client's lease model had understated their right-of-use asset by approximately 11%, caused by inconsistent discount rates applied across equipment leases. The full schedule was rebuilt from the original contracts, reconciled to the prior-year audited position, and delivered as a single working file with a full audit trail.
Full financial statements and audit readiness package.
The client was preparing for their first external audit under IFRS after three years of internal-only reporting. Financial statements were built end-to-end, every accounting policy position was documented, and all the documents the auditor would need were organised before they arrived on site.
Four steps. No hidden costs. No surprises.
Every engagement follows the same process. You know what happens at each stage before it begins.
A 30-minute call to understand what you need. If the work is a fit, I'll say so. If it isn't, I'll tell you directly and point you somewhere better.
A one-page engagement letter stating exactly what the work covers, what it does not cover, the timeline, and the fee. You know everything before you commit.
Work runs directly, without being handed off. Weekly check-ins with drafts shared as the work progresses — not held until a final reveal at the end.
The final deliverable plus the working file — formulas, assumptions, sources all intact. One revision pass is included. Everything is yours to keep and extend.
Start with a
30-minute call.
The scoping call is free and takes 30 minutes. You will get a clear answer about whether the work is a fit — and if it is, a written quote within 48 hours. If it isn't, I will tell you on the call.
