Audit Associate with 3+ years supporting NFRS reporting, tax compliance, and audit engagements in trading and services.

What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can own NFRS financial reporting, tax compliance, and audit support—while strengthening internal controls, projections, and reconciliation processes. I want clients and teams that value accuracy, documentation, and continuous improvement.

I’m an Audit Associate based in Nepal with 3+ years of experience in financial reporting, tax compliance, and audit support across trading and service industries. I prepare NFRS-compliant financial statements, management information reports, and bank-loan appraisal projections that help clients make credit-ready decisions.

I focus on accuracy and compliance—preparing Income Tax, VAT, and Excise Duty returns while ensuring timely monthly payments and supporting tax planning. I also handle payroll-related journal entries, maintain employee salary records, and manage accounts payable and receivable with strong account reconciliation discipline.

My audit experience includes preparing audit schedules, reconciliations, and supporting documentation aligned with audit standards, plus assisting in internal control policy development. I’m proactive in budgeting and variance analysis, fixed asset coding, ledger restructuring, and month-end/year-end support—backed by Xero Certified Professional and QuickBooks Online Accountant Certified credentials.
