About
Julius Arce Zafra
Finance manager. Academic coach. Founder of JAZ.
The Story
35+ years of finance, now available to you
I'm a finance manager based in Riyadh, working in FP&A, budgeting, financial reporting, VAT compliance, and contract review. My career started as a junior auditor in Manila in 1989 and has since covered NGOs, conglomerates, media, and project companies across the Gulf.
JAZ is how I make that experience available to small businesses, OFWs, and students who need a careful, experienced eye on their numbers and documents.
