What I'm looking for

I seek an audit or financial reporting role in a growth-focused organization where I can apply and expand my compliance, control testing, and remote audit skills while driving process improvements.

I am a driven finance and audit professional with 4+ years of experience in financial reporting, audit execution, and internal control evaluations across on-site and remote environments. I have a proven record of strengthening compliance frameworks and improving audit cycle timelines.

At BDO I led engagements and supported international clients through virtual walkthroughs, digital sampling, and consolidation reviews, contributing to outcomes such as a 95% regulatory adherence rate and a 15% reduction in audit processing time. I regularly assess multi-entity financial statements against IFRS and GAAP, investigate potential fraud indicators, and deliver clear, actionable audit reports to management.

I bring strong technical proficiency with CaseWare, Excel, Power BI and other audit tools, combined with a collaborative approach to working with cross-functional teams to drive transparency, accuracy, and process improvements in growth-focused organizations.
