What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities and a collaborative environment.

As an aspiring accounting professional, I bring over two years of auditing experience, having worked with Gaitri Mahabir Consulting Inc. in various capacities. My journey began as an Accounting Intern at the Royal Bank of Canada, where I honed my clerical skills and developed a keen eye for detail. Progressing through the ranks, I took on roles as Audit Associate I and II, where I assisted in executing audits from planning to completion, applying accounting standards, and presenting complex issues effectively.

My academic background includes being a Level 2 ACCA student, complemented by a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from The University of The West Indies. I am adept at managing multiple projects under tight deadlines and have a proven track record of establishing effective working relationships. My expertise in Microsoft Excel and my ability to interpret complex technical information have been instrumental in my success in the auditing field. I am committed to continuous learning and professional development, eager to contribute to a dynamic team.
