Finance content, written by someone who did the accounting.
I'm Fariha Ather — an ACCA-qualified writer who spent four years inside VAT returns, audit files and corporate tax filings before moving into content. Today I write the blogs, service pages and industry copy for eight business-consultancy brands across Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait — company formation, ISO certification, virtual CFO and compliance.
Most finance content is written by people guessing at the details.
I started on the other side of the desk. From 2018 to 2022 I worked in taxation and advisory for UK-based consultancies — filing VAT returns and PAYE, preparing corporate tax submissions, building financial reports, and translating dense regulatory language into something clients could actually act on.
That last part turned out to be the job I liked most. So in 2022 I moved into content full-time. Since then I've written across eight brands in a Bahrain-based consultancy group — company formation, ISO certification, virtual CFO and management consultancy — covering Bahrain, Oman, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
The practical difference: you don't have to explain what a reverse charge is, why the audit trail matters, or how a payment reconciliation actually works. I've done it. Briefs get shorter, drafts come back closer to right, and the copy holds up when a subject-matter expert reads it.
What I write
SEO blogs & articles
Long-form pieces built around real search intent — keyword-mapped, properly structured, and accurate enough to earn links from people in the industry.
Website & landing copy
Homepages, service pages and product pages for firms and SaaS tools. Clear positioning, no filler, written to convert a specific reader.
Thought leadership
Ghostwritten explainers and opinion pieces for founders, partners and finance leads who have the expertise but not the hours.
On-page SEO
Titles, metas, headings, internal linking and content structure — the on-page work that makes a good article findable.
Social & email
LinkedIn posts, newsletters and campaign copy that carry brand voice consistently across every touchpoint.
Marketing collateral
Whitepapers, one-pagers, case studies and client-facing documents — the same reporting discipline, aimed at prospects.
