About

I’m Zain Raza, a finance and operations leader with 10+ years of experience partnering with businesses across technology, fintech, gaming, and other industries. I specialize in financial planning and analysis, cash-flow optimization, and risk minimization—building reporting and forecasting routines that improve clarity for leadership and drive sustainable profitability. I also lead remote, cross-functional teams and use cloud-based tools and analytics to deliver results across global markets.

In my current role as Group Finance Manager at Treasure Communications, I direct group-level financial strategy, consolidate reporting across multiple business units, and support strong tax positioning and statutory compliance. Previously, as Chief Operating Officer for Studio Nebula, I helped a $2M gaming startup achieve measurable cost savings while improving stakeholder alignment through stronger forecasting and resource allocation. Earlier in my career, I held finance and operations roles in global operations and manufacturing settings, including IFRS-compliant reporting for subsidiaries and improved cost predictions through better forecasting models.
