Mr. Faisal is a professional financial expert and is a hard-working person. He was hired to manage all IHFD and its partners' financial books. I must say that that when we hired Mr. Faisal as company CFO, he brought all our financial management system in excellent order.

I had Faisal for Financial Accounting in my MBA program at the Daniels College of Business, and he is one of my favorite professors in the program. He is extremely knowledgeable about accounting and very personable. Faisal genuinely cares about and respects his students, and will go the extra mile to ensure that they understand the subject. He was very helpful one-on-one during office hours, and was also good at gauging when the class wasn't understanding the material and adjusting the speed accordingly. I was dreading Financial Accounting prior to the start of my MBA program. Faisal's passion for the subject and energetic teaching style were magnetic, and he made it enjoyable and easy for me to understand. I highly recommend him as an instructor.
