What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in finance or audit that emphasize IFRS-driven reporting, risk management, process improvement, mentorship opportunities, and career growth in collaborative, fast-paced teams.

I am an audit and finance professional with over three years of practical experience across financial reporting, banking, consulting, investments, and consumer markets, developed through audit engagements at KPMG and earlier roles in industry and research. I apply IFRS expertise, internal controls assessment, data analytics, and financial modelling to improve compliance, cash-flow efficiency, and risk mitigation while mentoring junior staff and managing engagement teams.

My background includes preparing financial statements and audit reports, evaluating and remediating control deficiencies, leading inventory counts and assurance engagements, and building financial models and Excel tools adopted by clients. I am actively pursuing ACCA to deepen technical proficiency and seek opportunities that value rigorous financial reporting, process improvement, and collaborative problem-solving.
