What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an audit/assurance role in hedge fund or wealth/asset management, where I can own US GAAP/US GAAS audits, deepen valuation/NAV expertise, strengthen internal controls work, and continue growing through mentorship and high-quality collaboration.

I’m a Chartered Accountant with 3+ years of progressive audit, assurance, and tax experience, including 1.5+ years as an Associate Manager at Ernst & Young (EY). I lead hedge fund audit engagements under US GAAP and US GAAS, managing the end-to-end audit lifecycle with strong audit documentation, quality control, and on-time delivery.

I bring deep expertise in investment valuations, NAV calculations, management fees, incentive/performance fees, and profit/loss allocation—ensuring the accuracy of financial statements. I also perform internal controls and risk assessment for regulatory compliance, communicate control weaknesses to senior leadership, and supervise/coach staff while collaborating with global teams to resolve complex audit issues.
