At Grant Thornton, I support external and internal audit engagements for U.S., Indian, and GTI Ireland clients. I work within PCAOB, AICPA, SEC, Companies Act, and firm audit requirements.

I perform risk assessments, walkthroughs, and control testing to evaluate internal controls and identify deficiencies. I review workpapers and supporting evidence, document findings, and escalate observations to senior auditors and engagement managers.

I also support independence and compliance monitoring, track audit deliverables, and follow up on outstanding requests and findings. I coordinate with engagement teams across the United States, India, and Ireland to help keep audit work progressing toward deadlines.

At Miles Education, I handled petty cash operations, tracked disbursements, reconciled expense records, and processed faculty payments using QuickBooks and Zoho Books. I hold a Bachelor of Commerce in Business Analytics & Finance from St. Joseph’s College of Commerce and a Business Analytics certification from AICPA.
