What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an audit-focused role where I can deepen technical accounting skills (ASC 842/606) and strengthen controls work. I want a collaborative team that values accuracy, mentorship, and timely delivery.

I’m an Audit Associate with a strong foundation as a CPA exam candidate, focused on delivering accurate, complete financial reporting through disciplined, full lifecycle audit procedures. I lead audit work across key areas including leases, revenue, accounts receivable, expenses, and accounts payable—performing walkthroughs, substantive testing, analytical reviews, and thorough footnote validation.

I bring depth in standards-driven work, testing lease classification and compliance with ASC 842, revenue under ASC 606, costs under ASC 330, and accounts receivable under ASC 310. I also read and analyze SOC reports, prepare audit workpapers aligned to PCAOB/GAAS, and supervise interns to ensure timely completion of account testing and analytical reviews.
