Jing Esther

I’m a highly detail-oriented Financial Accountant and Internal Controls/Audit Specialist with 3+ years of experience supporting operational accounting, internal controls, and audit work. I’m CPA Finalist (ICPAK) and currently pursuing CPA Canada, and I bring a consistent focus on accuracy, timeliness, and compliance.

In my current role with First Trust Law Firm, I manage a portfolio of 75+ client accounts and deliver full-cycle accounting—bank and general ledger reconciliations, accounts payable monitoring, and financial statement preparation. I execute month-end and year-end close with 99% accuracy and use variance analysis to provide actionable insights to stakeholders.

I’ve also improved how teams operate through automation and process refinement. I streamlined month-end procedures using checklists, reconciliation schedules, and Excel automation, reducing errors and improving reporting efficiency by 20%, while maintaining strong reporting quality across high-volume transactions.

Before that, I served as an Internal Control Officer / Internal Auditor at FINASDDEE Credit Line, conducting risk-based internal audits across multiple financial and operational cycles and identifying control gaps. I trained 15+ staff on fraud-prevention practices, reduced posting errors by about 25%, and helped strengthen compliance and risk mitigation through follow-up reviews.
