@susankamau1
Audit Senior specializing in IFRS/GAAP compliance, financial reporting, and risk mitigation.
What I'm looking for
I am a results-oriented Audit Senior with over four years of experience delivering high-quality external audits and financial reporting for multinational and regional clients. I specialize in IFRS/GAAP compliance, tax strategy, and strengthening internal control frameworks across manufacturing, insurance, and non-profit sectors.
I have led end-to-end audit engagements, managed distributed teams using cloud-based collaboration tools, and coordinated remote regional audits to ensure continuity and timely statutory filings. I consistently delivered cost-saving recommendations that reduced client operational expenses by 5–10%.
As a mentor and team leader, I trained and developed 13 consulting staff members and supervised teams of up to six, improving technical accuracy and completing complex fieldwork within budgeted hours. I also authored detailed management letters and collaborated with regulators and client management to close critical control gaps.
I hold a Bachelor of Commerce (Finance option) and am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA). I am seeking a challenging Senior Finance or Audit role where I can apply advanced financial analysis, remote engagement management, and process optimization skills to drive compliance and operational efficiency.
