ACA-qualified Audit Senior delivering risk-focused external audits and IFRS-driven financial reporting.
NigeriaWhat I'm looking for
I’m an ACA-qualified Audit Senior with 7+ years of experience in external audit and financial reporting across Oil & Gas and Manufacturing. I’m known for delivering high-quality audits, leading teams, and managing client relationships under tight statutory deadlines.
At Ernst & Young, I’ve led end-to-end statutory audits for multi-entity clients with revenues up to $2.3bn, consistently delivering timely audit opinions. I plan and execute risk-based approaches, reducing review points by 25% through improved documentation quality, while also managing audit budgets and timelines to improve engagement efficiency by 20%.
I supervise and coach teams of up to 8 staff by reviewing workpapers and accelerating readiness for manager review. I also act as the primary client focal point and advise clients on complex IFRS matters including IFRS 15, IFRS 16, and IFRS 9—bringing strong technical judgment to the audit process.
Before EY, I strengthened my foundation in accounting and reporting through roles at Honda Automobile Western Africa Ltd, where I prepared IFRS-compliant financial statements and delivered cost-optimization initiatives generating $800k annual savings. I bring that same practical, improvement-driven mindset to every engagement, including data analytics using Advanced Excel and EY GLAnalyzer.
