What I'm looking for

I seek audit or accounting roles where I can apply my Chartered Accountant qualification, contribute to high-quality financial reporting, grow technically, and work in a collaborative, ethical team environment.

I am a newly qualified Chartered Accountant with practical experience in financial reporting, auditing, tax compliance and agreed-upon procedures. I have worked on audit teams, compiled annual financial statements for companies, trusts and individuals, completed income tax returns and participated in stock counts and independent reviews.

I bring a meticulous eye for detail, strong ethical standards and a proactive problem-solving approach, consistently meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality work even under pressure. I am committed to continuous learning and have achieved top academic results, including first place in my Milpark PGDA class.
