What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and challenges in audit and compliance.

I am a dynamic and results-driven audit professional with over three years of experience in public accounting. Holding an ACCA qualification, I have developed a strong foundation in IFRS and GAAP, which has enabled me to execute complex audit procedures effectively. My expertise lies in designing client-focused audit strategies across diverse sectors, particularly in the insurance industry. I am committed to continuous learning and have a strong grasp of evolving business trends and emerging technologies, positioning myself as a trusted advisor in an ever-changing financial landscape.

Currently, I serve as a Senior Auditor at Grant Thornton Zimbabwe, where I perform audit planning, identify risks, and design responses to those risks. I lead audit work on high-risk cycles, gather sufficient audit evidence, and ensure the quality and accuracy of financial statements. My role also involves training junior associates and fostering strong working relationships with clients and internal departments to support audit delivery and resolve issues effectively.
