What I'm looking for

I’m looking for audit and compliance work where I can own planning-to-completion engagements, strengthen risk-based testing, and deliver accurate financial and tax outcomes—while collaborating closely with clients and mentoring junior team members.

I’m a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with nearly five years of experience in external audit, serving clients reporting under IFRS and FRS 102 across the online gaming, manufacturing, consulting, and construction industries.

I also provide bookkeeping and tax services to professional athletes in the Philippines. My expertise includes bookkeeping, account reconciliations, financial reporting, tax compliance, audit support, and Microsoft Excel.
