What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a role where I can lead assurance/audit work and strengthen controls—ensuring accurate reporting, timely delivery, and clear documentation—while collaborating with teams that value high-quality execution and continuous process improvement.

I’m an Accounting Professional with over 10 years of experience in Assurance Audit and Bookkeeping, delivering strong results in fast-paced, multicultural environments. I’m especially skilled in analytical and problem solving, and I’m always looking for opportunities to improve processes and controls.

In my Assurance Senior Auditor and Assurance Senior Accountant roles, I led or supported annual audit reviews and managed multiple tasks and client engagements while maintaining high quality and timely delivery. I’ve complied with US GAAP, IFRS, and IAS, and I’ve worked to ensure accuracy and timeliness in audit findings and documentation.

I’ve consistently driven effectiveness in coverage of key areas—supporting audit reviews with results described as “100% on effectiveness,” while also maintaining client satisfaction rates such as 90%, 80%, and 85% across engagements. I also trained and supported new employees, including five new employees in one role and three in others, helping strengthen team readiness and execution.

My work has included hands-on use of tools like CCH Engagement, Teammate, Caseware Working Papers, QuickBooks Online, and Microsoft Office applications, along with systems such as SAP Business One and Microsoft Dynamics 365. As a Certified Public Accountant (CPA), I bring disciplined financial reporting, accounts reconciliation, journal entries, accruals and adjustments, and full-cycle accounting—backed by strong communication and interpersonal relationships.
