Virtual CFO Recommendations
I had the privilege of working under Muhammad Yasir during his tenure as a dynamic leader at CPPA-G. Yasir's unparalleled expertise in financial management and regulatory matters greatly influenced our team's success and my own professional growth. Yasir’s contributions were transformative across multiple domains. He played a critical role in negotiating and executing pivotal agreements like PPAs for major hydropower projects, including Azad Pattan (700.7 MW) and Kohala (1124 MW), among others. His strategic insight in tariff petition analysis and successful regulatory interventions ensured significant cost savings and operational efficiencies, ultimately benefiting electricity consumers. Yasir's leadership in audits and regulatory processes was exemplary. His adept handling of government and regulatory audits, including timely coordination with audit teams and the seamless provision of data, not only upheld transparency but also defended the organization's position effectively. I am honored to have worked with him and highly recommend him as an outstanding professional and leader.

Yasir is an exceptional financial leader with a rare combination of strategic vision and operational expertise. When I handed over the reins as CFO at ZAK Re-Rolling Mills, Yasir not only upheld the financial integrity of the organization but elevated it to new heights. His ability to implement SAP Business One seamlessly and spearhead tax planning initiatives saved the company significant costs and demonstrated his forward-thinking approach. Yasir's commitment to excellence and his ability to manage complex financial and operational challenges make him an invaluable asset to any organization.
