What I'm looking for

I seek audit or financial reporting roles where I can lead teams, strengthen controls, apply IFRS expertise, mentor staff, and contribute to timely, high-quality financial statements and advisory work.

I am a Senior Audit Associate with hands-on experience leading audit teams across banking, manufacturing, construction, non-profit and professional services, delivering IFRS/ISA-compliant engagements on time and with actionable recommendations.

I improved audit efficiency by 20% through optimized delegation and tailored audit programs, directed risk assessments and audit planning, and advised on complex accounting issues such as IFRS 15 while preparing IFRS-compliant financial statements.

I am pursuing ACCA (11 of 13 papers completed), adaptable to US GAAP and local regulatory frameworks, and committed to mentoring teams, strengthening internal controls and supporting partners to form robust audit opinions.
