Hi, I'm Ali Obaid 👋

Finance graduate from KFUPM with experience in financial planning and audit. I build financial models, investment research, and practical financial-data tools.

I am currently building RUKNasi, a platform that makes Saudi financial statements easier to find, read and download.

Featured Work

RUKNasi — Saudi Financial Statements Platform

A financial-information platform for Saudi-listed companies.

RUKNasi lets users choose a company and reporting period to read and download financial statements in one place. It also brings together key filings, dividends, sector comparisons and links to the original issuer disclosures.

The current early version covers 20 Saudi-listed companies and 1,233 financial statements across the banking, energy and telecommunications sectors.

Figures are based on published issuer disclosures. RUKNasi is for research and education, not investment advice.
