Farooq Shahzad

Accounting professional with 7+ years of experience in managed accounting services, financial reporting, nonprofit accounting, payroll operations, and multi-state tax compliance. I’ve supported a wide range of clients—from small businesses to large multi-entity nonprofits—helping them streamline financial operations, strengthen controls, and improve reporting accuracy.

I’ve led accounting teams, managed portfolios of 120+ clients, trained staff, and implemented reporting systems that reduced processing time from 40 hours to 12. My technical background includes QuickBooks Online/Desktop, SAP, Xero, BDC, multi-state payroll, AR/AP, reconciliations, and restricted/unrestricted grant management.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Client Consultant at The Ijaz Group, supporting nonprofit organizations with end-to-end accounting, monthly close, AR/AP cycles, grant reporting, and financial analysis. I’m committed to delivering clear communication, accurate reporting, and efficient workflows that help organizations focus on their mission.

Always open to connecting with professionals in accounting, nonprofit finance, and operational process improvement.
