What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an audit and assurance role where I can lead technical IFRS work (including IFRS 17), drive strong internal controls, and own regulatory-focused reporting for insurance stakeholders with clear progression and stakeholder visibility.

I’m a Certified Public Accountant with more than 8 years of professional experience in the audit and assurance department, leading 28 engagements in supervisory and senior roles. I’ve worked across high-profile insurance, banking, manufacturing, and real estate clients, strengthening audit quality through IFRS/US GAAP expertise and rigorous standards-based work including ISAs, SOX 404, and ISRS 4400 procedures.

In recent roles, I’ve owned financial reporting and regulatory reporting processes aligned with IFRS and Solvency II requirements, including Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) reporting, capital adequacy and stress testing support, and board packs for senior stakeholders. I also bring deep technical delivery experience with IFRS 17 implementation, audit work over complex areas like IFRS 9 (ECL Model) and IFRS 15, and internal control-focused audit execution with teams ranging up to 10 associates.
