SpainWhat I'm looking for
I've supported SOX compliance, internal controls, and finance operations across US and European organisations, drawing on Big 4 audit and consulting experience alongside hands-on SAP and General Ledger work.
At Popular Inc., I supported the annual SOX 404 programme through scoping, risk assessment, financial statement mapping, and testing of key financial and IT controls in a regulated banking environment.
I conducted walkthroughs, identified control deficiencies, supported remediation, coordinated with external auditors, and contributed to quarterly SOX certification and segregation-of-duties reviews.
At TD SYNNEX, I manage General Ledger, journal entries, month-end close, reconciliations, financial reporting, SAP FI/CO operations, audit support, and process standardisation. My KPMG US-Spain experience includes managing financial audits under US GAAP and IFRS for multinational clients.
