§ About

Numbers matter. Understanding them matters more.

I’m Divine Shalom Panotes, a Financial Accountant based in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

I specialize in financial reporting, payroll accounting, reconciliations, fixed asset accounting, cash flow analysis, and continuous improvement. My work combines accounting discipline with Excel and Power Query automation to make finance operations simpler and reporting more reliable.

Working across a multi-branch operation has sharpened my analytical thinking and reinforced my belief that finance is not only about recording numbers, but about helping people understand what they mean.

I’m learning Power BI and SQL so I can move beyond spreadsheets into richer business intelligence.
