At Ernst & Young, I led external audit engagements for enterprise clients under IFRS and US GAAP. I also supervised and mentored audit teams and handled technical accounting adjustments, including revenue recognition and lease accounting.

At Gazprom Neft, I evaluated and redesigned internal control frameworks across group subsidiaries. I also coordinated multi-entity year-end audits with Big 4 auditors.

As Chief Financial Officer at Forest Station, I maintained financial records and prepared monthly and annual statements. I established internal control procedures and examined foreign-currency transactions and international accounts.

As an independent financial and IFRS consultant, I prepare statements and consolidations for cross-border clients and support external audit engagements. I also maintain Excel and Python models for GAAP-to-IFRS transformations.
