What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and impactful financial analysis.

As an Assurance Associate at PricewaterhouseCoopers, I have honed my skills in conducting statutory and integrated audits across various sectors, including energy and financial services. My role involves managing audit projects from planning to execution, ensuring compliance with regulatory standards. A notable achievement includes conducting an inventory rollback analysis for a subsidiary of FMN Agro-Allied, which identified significant variances in financial records, ultimately safeguarding over $10 million in finished product value.

My experience extends to Capital Markets & Accounting Advisory Services, where I played a pivotal role in a $2.4 billion oil and gas M&A deal, conducting Vendor Due Diligence and advising on Shell’s divestment of its Nigerian assets. I have also contributed to strategic recommendations for Nigeria’s infrastructure development, showcasing my ability to analyze complex data and provide actionable insights. My educational background in Economics and Management from the University of Kent, coupled with leadership roles, has equipped me with a strong foundation in financial analysis and stakeholder communication.
