What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that allow me to leverage my financial expertise, enhance my technical skills, and contribute to a dynamic team environment.

I am a finance professional with 8 years of extensive experience in Accounting, Fund Auditing, Internal Auditing, and Financial Reporting. My career has been dedicated to Wealth and Asset Management, where I have honed my expertise in Investment Services and Alternative Investment Services, including Mutual Funds, Hedge Funds, and Private Equity. My journey has taken me through esteemed organizations such as PwC, EY, and NatWest, where I have consistently delivered high-quality financial analysis and reporting.

At NatWest Group, I excelled as a Finance Control Associate, preparing and analyzing financial statements for banking entities while managing stakeholder relationships to ensure timely resolutions. My role involved a deep understanding of banking business models and compliance with IFRS regulations. Previously, as a Senior Analyst at EY, I provided advisory services for investment clients, conducted fund audits, and trained new team members, showcasing my leadership and mentoring abilities. I am now eager to leverage my skills in a new opportunity that allows me to continue growing in this dynamic field.
