Besides freelancing, I'm co-founder and VP of RECA TECH, a software company in Cairo.
We build the systems a business actually runs on. CareSynq is a healthcare CRM on web, iOS and Android. Falcons Organization is a trading education platform with its own learning app. Both are live.
If your company needs a CRM, an ERP, an LMS, or AI added to the tools you already use, we can take on the whole project as a team. Message me or visit reca-tech.com.

Your shareholder account could be quietly costing you. 👀
Most founders I meet don’t know their shareholder current account balance.
Then year-end arrives, and the accountant asks:
“Why does the company owe you money?”
or worse,
“Why do you owe the company?”
Here’s the simple version 👇
Shareholder current account = the running tab between you and your company.
✅ Positive balance: the company owes YOU.
You paid a company bill from your own pocket or lent the business money. You can take it back as a repayment.
⚠️ Negative balance: YOU owe the company.
You took out more than you were entitled to. It’s treated like a loan, which can mean tax consequences, audit questions, and messy books when you want funding or a sale.
Quick example:
You put in 10,000 → company owes you 10,000 ✅
You withdraw 15,000 for personal use → you now owe 5,000 ⚠️
Most founders don’t have a money problem here. They have a record-keeping problem.
That’s where I come in.
At Counting Crux, we help startups and small businesses in the UAE and UK with:
📌 Monthly bookkeeping and clean reconciliations

📌 VAT and Corporate Tax support
📌 Month-end and year-end reporting

No jargon. No surprises at year-end. Just books you can trust. ✨

Need a small website fix or design update?
I’m available for quick freelance projects — from fixing React/Node.js bugs and API issues to responsive UI improvements, Canva designs, social media graphics, worksheets and presentations.
If you have a task that needs a reliable developer or designer, feel free to reach out. 🚀
🙌 :
I noticed you pair React/Node bug fixes with Canva design work, which can cut down the hand off time between dev and design.
Episode 3 of my series: Your numbers should make sense.
If you're a founder, check these 5 numbers every month:
1️⃣ Cash in the bank: what you can actually spend today, not your profit.
2️⃣ Monthly burn and runway: how many months until you hit zero.
3️⃣ Gross margin: what's left of each dirham after direct costs. If it's shrinking, growth won't save you.
4️⃣ Money owed to you: unpaid invoices and how old they are. Profit on paper doesn't pay salaries.
5️⃣ Tax you haven't set aside: VAT collected isn't your money, and corporate tax is building on your profit. Know the number before the deadline does.
If your monthly numbers don't tell a clear story, that's not a finance problem. It's a visibility problem, and it's fixable.
Which of these five do you check the least? Tell me in the comments.
What an easy way to explain😍
