What I'm looking for

I am looking for a dynamic role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

As a Junior Auditor at Ernst & Young in Luxembourg, I specialize in planning and executing complex audits for private equity and private debt funds. My role involves ensuring accurate valuations and financial reporting, collaborating with valuation specialists, and applying analytical testing to benchmark against market data. I take pride in my ability to identify material risks and expand client engagements, consistently receiving above-expectation feedback.

My academic background includes a Master in Finance from NOVA School of Business and Economics, where I excelled in financial modeling and investment management. I have also completed an exchange semester at HEC Liège, focusing on corporate finance and asset management. My diverse experiences, from overseeing financial operations at Neulabs to engaging in impactful group projects, have honed my technical skills and attention to detail.

In addition to my professional and academic pursuits, I am actively involved in volunteering and extracurricular activities, which reflect my commitment to community engagement and personal growth. I am eager to leverage my skills and experiences in a challenging role that fosters professional development and contributes to organizational success.
