What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an internal audit/financial controls role where I can strengthen governance, support audit planning and compliance, and use Excel, SQL, and Power BI to automate workflows and improve reporting efficiency.

I’m a finance and accounting professional with 4.5+ years of experience supporting internal controls, audit readiness, and financial compliance across 20+ client portfolios. I support annual audit planning, evaluate key control structures, prepare audit documentation and workpapers, and partner with business stakeholders and external auditors to ensure deadlines and governance expectations are met.

I’m especially strong in account reconciliations, financial reporting, and risk identification—where I review financial records and supporting documentation to surface control gaps and inconsistencies. I also drive measurable efficiency through process improvement and workflow automation using Excel, SQL, and Power BI, eliminating 30+ hours of manual effort per month, while strengthening financial governance and compliance effectiveness. I’m a CPA Candidate with SOX-compliance familiarity and a high-achieving MS in Finance.
