Wahaj Siddiqui has over 18 years of diverse experience in corporate finance and tax advisory. Prior to founding Oblique Consult, he served in KPMG, Etihad Airways, Al Hilal Bank, and Emirates Airlines.
Wahaj’s roles as an external auditor, financial reporting, internal audit, and tax leadership shape the data-driven consulting services we offer at Oblique Consult. It's his future-forward vision that led to the development of Simpla AI, a personal financial advisor for entrepreneurs.
Our Values
Our client-centric boutique approach is what sets us apart from other financial advisory firms in the region. Our other USP is our intelligent use of advanced AI-powered tools and processes to provide our clients with faster, more efficient, and more accurate financial management solutions.
This personalization, coupled with the convenience and seamlessness of our services, has helped us build strong, long-lasting connections with our clients over time. Not to brag, but our commitment to tailor our solutions according to our client’s specific industry and needs has resulted in 100% client retention and an exceptionally good track record of completing over 150 tax audits in the past 6 years.
Our financial advisory services are open to businesses of all sizes, be it an emerging startup or a large multinational corporation or a government entity. Over the years, we have garnered a good reputation in the UAE and Saudi Arabia for always staying on top of emerging trends in corporate finance and taxation in the region. But we also plan to expand our service portfolio in the other GCC countries as well.
