What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a full-time role with professional challenges where I can handle multiple audit and accounting priorities accurately, contribute to planning and risk assessments, and take on added responsibilities with my team.

I perform financial audits for nonprofit and profit organizations at Drade Consulting, working across planning, risk assessment, internal controls, and substantive testing to support accurate audit conclusions.

As a Senior Associate Auditor, I supervised associate staff work papers, drafted financials, and prepared detailed reports on audit findings—then escalated significant deficiencies to the Audit Committee or board with recommended operational changes.

I’ve worked with Uniform Guidance complexities for major federal programs under Subpart F and the OMB Compliance Supplement, while indexing working papers and running procedures established under GAAP and GAAS.

Outside public accounting, I’ve also handled accounting duties like preparing and analyzing financial statements, managing accounts payable/receivable, reconciling the general ledger, and supporting month-end and year-end close.
