Lauren Chapman
@laurenchapman1
Accountancy master’s candidate skilled in accounting, Excel automation, and reconciliation.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
I am a Master of Science in Accountancy candidate with strong academic achievement (3.91 GPA) and hands-on accounting experience. I combine classroom learning with practical internships and project work to deliver accurate financial reconciliations and process improvements.
In internship roles I identified and reconciled Construction in Progress discrepancies across 20 projects, created automated Excel trackers for receivables, and redesigned billable-hours and charge-rate calculations to improve transparency and efficiency.
I have completed accounting-focused simulations with Ernst & Young that involved identifying potential misstatements and assessing sustainability reporting needs, strengthening my audit judgment and client advisory perspective.
Beyond technical work, I lead and participate in campus organizations where I fundraised, managed budgets, mentored peers, and co-founded a student-run venture—demonstrating leadership, collaboration, and commitment to service.
