Salamat Inam, CAF (ICAP), is the Founder & Finance Transformation Lead at BGB-360. With 17+ years of international finance experience across Norway, the UAE and Romania, he specializes in Norwegian VAT, end-to-end accounting, monthly closing, financial reporting, budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow governance and enterprise reporting systems.
At BGB-360, his responsibility is practical: help organizations establish reliable accounting operations, disciplined closing, validated reporting and management information that can be trusted for decisions.
International Finance, Reporting and Controls
Salamat's career includes senior finance, reporting and control responsibilities across Norway, the UAE and Romania. His work spans IFRS and GAAP reporting, consolidation, month-end closing, internal controls, treasury and Net Financial Position reporting, project accounting, budgeting, forecasting, cash-flow analysis and audit readiness.
He has worked with enterprise reporting and finance platforms including SAP, Hyperion HFM, TM1, Vision and JD Edwards. This system experience is directly relevant to BGB-360 clients that need accounting support integrated with group reporting procedures rather than isolated bookkeeping.
Norwegian VAT and International Indirect-Tax Experience
Norwegian VAT is one of Salamat's strongest specialist areas. His approach combines transaction review, historical reconciliation, supporting documentation, account validation and recovery analysis. Earlier in the UAE, he led VAT implementation, filing and correspondence with the Federal Tax Authority and participated in business education and tax-awareness activities during the introduction of the UAE VAT framework.
A 2017 Gulf Today feature included Salamat, then serving as a director at ATH Business Consultants & Chartered Accountants, among business professionals commenting publicly on new UAE excise-tax measures.
Documented VAT Recovery and Project Recognition
Salamat's Norwegian experience includes finance and VAT work connected with the approximately NOK 15.67 billion RV 555 Sotra Connection infrastructure project. Across related recovery work, he contributed to approximately NOK 149.6 million in total financial recovery. The documented VAT reconciliation and related compensation component amounted to NOK 133.6 million.
His work on critical VAT reconciliation and recovery was formally recognized by Sotra Link SLCJV project leadership. The recognition acknowledged professional initiative, technical expertise and value creation for the joint venture involving FCC Construcción, Webuild and SK ecoplant. The recognition relates to Salamat's professional contribution and should not be interpreted as an endorsement of BGB-360 by those organizations.
