What I'm looking for

I’m looking for audit and assurance roles where I can lead high-quality engagements, strengthen financial controls, and use smart audit tools to improve efficiency. I want a team that values accuracy, risk-based planning, and fast delivery under pressure.

I am a Chartered Accountant focused on audit and assurance services in reputable firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers. I bring a strong foundation in financial compliance and risk management, with a detail-driven approach to delivering accurate audit outcomes.

In my role as External Auditor Assurance - Senior Associate (12/2021–Present), I work with teams in high-pressure engagements—managed audits for firms with revenue over $500 million annually. I improved audit efficiency by 25% using smart audit tools, and reduced compliance errors by 15% through strengthened financial controls.

I also lead teams of 10 to complete complex audit work on time, including control testing, lead schedules, vouching, and substantive testing across key financial statement areas. I take pride in rigorous standards of accuracy and detail, and I received the Extra Miler Award for helping the engagement team complete work on time.
