ACCA Affiliate assurance professional delivering end-to-end US GAAP audits with analytical rigor, accuracy, and ethical integrity.
What I'm looking for
I’m an ACCA Affiliate assurance professional with hands-on experience across audit and accounting for US-based clients. At BDO RISE Private Limited, I handle the end-to-end audit cycle—scoping, planning, obtaining evidence (control and substantive testing), and completion—while ensuring workpapers are complete, accurate, and compliant with engagement requirements.
I also supported year-end accounting and statutory audit engagements at THE DOT PROFESSIONALS PRIVATE LIMITED under senior supervision, preparing financial statements and schedules using Xero, QuickBooks, and Sage, and producing audit documentation in CaseWare and CCH. I’m comfortable working through high-volume busy seasons, coordinating with onshore US teams, and delivering with a strong ethical foundation, attention to detail, and analytical problem-solving.
