Senior Assurance Associate with expertise in financial statement audits.
What I'm looking for
I am a dedicated Senior Assurance Associate with extensive experience in providing financial statement audits for both private and public companies. My journey in accounting began with a strong educational foundation, earning an MBA in Accounting from Southern New Hampshire University and a Bachelor's degree from Saint Michael’s College. Throughout my career, I have developed a robust skill set in technical accounting, particularly within the life sciences, consumer products, technology, manufacturing, and construction industries.
At CohnReznick LLP, I have successfully supervised audit associates, ensuring timely and efficient completion of audits while maintaining strong client relationships. My role has involved participating in multiple S-1 filings for a life science company, playing a crucial part in their initial public offering. My previous experience at RSM US LLP and Keurig Green Mountain Inc. has further honed my abilities in financial reporting and compliance, including preparing SEC filings and executing complex accounting functions.
