Detail-oriented Audit Associate with 5 years' experience in auditing and school administration.
What I'm looking for
I am a detail-oriented and results-driven Audit Associate with five years of professional experience spanning external audit and school administration. I bring a strong foundation in accounting principles, financial reporting, and regulatory compliance, reinforced by CPA progression and formal finance education.
In external audit, I have contributed to planning and execution of engagements, conducted substantive testing across cash, receivables, inventory, fixed assets, liabilities and revenue, and performed analytical reviews to identify anomalies and key risks. I prepare time budgets, verify documentation, and draft management letters with findings and recommendations.
In educational administration I managed campus operations, led strategic marketing and recruitment activities, maintained academic and financial records, coordinated examinations and academic programs, and oversaw budgets and staff training to improve institutional performance. I have proven leadership in streamlining processes and ensuring compliance with statutory requirements.
I am a proactive problem-solver committed to delivering high-quality audit services and fostering organizational accountability, with technical skills including QuickBooks and practical experience teaching accounting, managerial accounting, and business finance at certificate and diploma levels.
