What I'm looking for

I seek a challenging opportunity in a dynamic global organization that fosters growth and professional development.

I am a highly motivated finance professional with over six years of diverse experience in assurance and advisory engagements. Currently, I am an AFA, MIPA, and CA finalist, holding a bachelor's degree in accounts and commerce. My specialization lies in the financial services sector, where I have successfully led audits for various clients, ensuring compliance with International Standards on Auditing and International Financial Reporting Standards.

Throughout my career, I have developed a keen understanding of financial reporting standards and have been involved in implementing new accounting standards such as IFRS 17, IFRS 9, and IFRS 16. I pride myself on my ability to manage teams effectively, communicate complex accounting matters, and build solid relationships with clients and stakeholders. My commitment to continuous professional development drives me to stay updated with changes in professional standards and regulatory environments, ensuring that I deliver the highest quality of service to my clients.
