What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an entry-level audit/accounting role where I can support assurance work, strengthen PCAOB/firm compliance skills, and grow into broader audit planning while working closely with experienced teams.

I’m a business accountancy student at Bowling Green State University and an Audit & Assurance Intern with Grant Thornton. I help audit teams review business transaction cycles—from cash and treasury to capital expenditures and income/expenses—so engagements stay accurate and well-documented.

In my internship, I prepared workpapers, documentation, and supporting schedules to facilitate efficient audit procedures and compliance with PCAOB and firm standards. I also gained hands-on experience with audit software (TeamMate, IDEA) and worked directly with professionals on multiple assurance projects in the Cleveland office.

Beyond audit, I build momentum through customer-facing and operations experience—plus disciplined Independent Trader work using stock futures and covered calls on SPX. I bring a detail-focused, service-first mindset to every task I take on.
