What I'm looking for

I am looking for opportunities that foster growth, collaboration, and innovation in accounting.

I am a dedicated and goal-oriented accounting professional with a robust academic background and extensive experience in auditing across various sectors, including manufacturing, retail, and real estate investment trusts. My journey has equipped me with the ability to navigate complex financial landscapes while ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.

As an Audit Supervisor at Moore Infinity, I actively participate in the planning and execution of group audits, managing a diverse team to deliver high-quality work. My commitment to accuracy and integrity is reflected in my ability to resolve complex financial discrepancies and prepare annual financial statements in accordance with IFRS standards. I take pride in developing training materials and conducting workshops, fostering a culture of knowledge-sharing within my team.

Throughout my career, I have been recognized for my exceptional quality of work, earning awards for two consecutive years at my auditing firm. I believe in building long-lasting relationships with clients and colleagues, which enhances collaboration and drives success in every project I undertake.
