What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role focused on grant/audit compliance where I can lead audits, strengthen internal controls, mentor staff, and drive improvements in financial stewardship within a collaborative, growth-oriented organization.

I am an Audit Assurance Senior with experience leading and managing audits of federal and non-federal grant programs, focused on ensuring compliance with regulations and improving financial stewardship. I design tailored audit plans, evaluate internal controls, and prepare clear audit reports with actionable recommendations.

I collaborate with cross-functional teams to review financial statements, assess risks, and address internal control deficiencies while serving as a trusted advisor to clients on grant management and regulatory compliance. I also train and mentor staff in audit methodologies and best practices to build organizational capacity.

I bring strong technical skills in Excel, Access, audit engagement software, and Google Drive, fluency in English, Urdu, and Hindi, and strengths in communication, critical thinking, and attention to detail to help organizations strengthen compliance and secure future funding.
