What I'm looking for

I am seeking an audit or assurance role where I can progress into management, apply IFRS expertise, lead teams, and add measurable value through strong controls and financial reporting.

I am a self-motivated Articled Accountant with over three years of external audit experience in a Big 4 accounting firm, specialising in financial statements review, internal controls evaluation and audit delivery across financial services, insurance, manufacturing, retail and real estate sectors.

I have led audit planning and fieldwork execution, supervised and coached junior staff, and project-managed engagements from risk assessment through to completion while liaising with Managers, Directors and Partners to ensure timely, quality deliverables.

My achievements include delivering IFRS-focused accounting reviews (IFRS 9, IFRS 15, IFRS 16, IAS 12, IAS 16/40), drafting management reports with recommendations, and contributing to team development initiatives such as wellness coaching and committee leadership.
