Finance and audit professional with 6 years across Big 4, specialising in reporting, controls, and risk.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a finance and audit professional with 6 years of experience across Big 4 and mid-tier environments. I specialise in financial reporting, audit execution, internal controls, risk assessment, and fraud advisory, backed by an MSc in Financial Economics.
At KPMG, I led audits across multiple industries, assessed internal controls and operating effectiveness, and performed substantive procedures on major account balances. I prepared financial statements in line with IFRS and drafted final audit reports, while supervising junior staff and ensuring audit files were completed within tight deadlines.
More recently, I’ve combined risk-focused work with operational finance leadership—investigating suspected fraud as a Customer service/Fraud Advisor and overseeing financial and operational activities as Finance & Operations Lead. I implement and monitor controls over cash handling and inventory, analyse revenue and margins to support pricing decisions, and remain focused on delivering accurate, high-quality outcomes while managing stakeholder expectations.
