What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging role in a dynamic environment that fosters professional growth and values integrity.

As an accomplished Audit Manager at Deloitte Cayman Islands, I bring extensive experience in auditing across various sectors, including hedge funds, private equity, and financial services. My career began in East Africa, where I honed my skills in audit practices, leading to my current role where I develop audit plans and supervise a team of auditors. I am dedicated to ensuring the accuracy and reliability of financial data, and I take pride in interpreting complex accounting standards for my teams.

Throughout my career, I have successfully managed multiple concurrent engagements, providing audit, accounting, tax, and consulting services. My experience includes preparing and analyzing financial statements for both US and international companies, conducting internal control reviews, and implementing accounting systems. I am committed to promoting accountability and enhancing the efficiency of financial operations, ensuring compliance with international standards.
