What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior finance or audit role where I can lead audit teams, strengthen controls, and apply data analytics to improve reporting and operational efficiency.

I am an accomplished finance, accounting, and audit professional with over 10 years of progressive experience in audit leadership, financial reporting, operations, and data analytics.

Throughout my career I have led statutory and risk-based audits, planned and executed engagements, reviewed financial statements for compliance, and presented findings to senior partners, improving reporting quality and controls.

I have prepared quarterly and annual budgets, processed payroll, performed bank reconciliations, and supported internal controls while acting in managerial capacities when required.

I combine technical skills (Advanced Excel, SQL, Tableau, Office suite) with leadership, communication, and organizational strengths to develop teams and deliver reliable, data-driven financial insights.
