What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and challenges in financial management.

I am a detail-oriented assistant audit manager with extensive experience in accounting and auditing, particularly within the frameworks of UK GAAP and IFRS. My career has been marked by a methodical approach to audit planning and execution, where I have successfully led teams and managed complex audit engagements. My ability to analyze and interpret large datasets has been crucial in ensuring compliance and enhancing the accuracy of financial reporting.

Throughout my career, I have developed strong relationships with clients, facilitating effective communication and trust. My role at Forvis Mazars LLP has allowed me to refine my skills in supervising audit staff and ensuring that all audit procedures adhere to professional standards. I take pride in my ability to assess risks and controls, providing valuable insights that contribute to the overall financial health of the organizations I work with.
