What I'm looking for

I’m looking to strengthen internal controls and SOX/ITGC compliance for global enterprises, using Power BI continuous monitoring to reduce risk and deliver clear, actionable remediation guidance—while mentoring teams and improving assurance workflows.

I’m a highly analytical, fully qualified US CPA (with CISA in progress) who has spent 5+ years in premier Big 4 risk advisory and audit at KPMG (and EY). I specialize in internal controls, financial governance, and SOX compliance, and I’m known for building strong testing approaches that connect business process oversight with information systems risk evaluations (ITGCs and SOC 1/SOC 2).

In my current Senior Associate role, I spearhead end-to-end operational, financial, and compliance audits for large global enterprises, lead root-cause analysis for control gaps, and architect remediation plans that protect enterprise data integrity. I also deploy Power BI and advanced Excel modeling for continuous control monitoring and report logic validation, align stakeholders across global teams, and mentor juniors to standardize high-quality workpapers during high-stakes assurance windows.
