What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead and improve statutory audit delivery, applying Dutch GAAP, IFRS, audit automation, data analytics, and team mentoring in a cross-border environment.

At SDU Global Consulting, I lead cross-border statutory audit delivery with De Jong & Laan in Utrecht, supporting SME and multinational-subsidiary clients across seven industries.

I've scaled the function from one client to 12 engagements annually and led a 20-month technology subsidiary audit through an acquisition and demerger. The workpapers I delivered to External Quality Review standard became the firm's baseline practice.

I build practical audit infrastructure, including company-wide risk-assessment matrices, disclosure-review checklists, and standardized workpapers for cash, revenue, inventory, payroll, operating expenses, and corporate income tax.

Before audit leadership, I processed finance operations at Bahrain International Circuit and prepared financial statements and reconciliations at Kids Kingdom. I'm ACCA-qualified and use Datasnipper, RobotX, Power BI, Advanced Excel, Microsoft Dynamics, and ERP Tally to strengthen audit delivery.
