Aliya Akhtar

Aliya joined the Shed to kickstart her career and help improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Shed’s finance division. Bringing a fresh perspective straight out of University, Aliya’s ability to interpret complex finance regulations, while understanding the US tax system and the fundamentals of business management in a foreign state is key to the internal growth of the agency. She handles all bank reconciliations, monthly tax calculations, financial inquiries, expense payments, and the department relies on her keen eye for detail.

After completing a first-year placement at an accounting practice, Aliya’s role progressed into a financial assistant where she developed the skills that would ultimately lead her to The Mighty Shed, handling tax code and business registration for clients like Red Bull, and company operations overall. Like Shed, she believes in the standard of freedom, and the flexibility to work outside of the box.
