Summary
As an audit assistant manager at EY, I lead and supervise teams of auditors in delivering high-quality assurance services to clients in various sectors, especially real estate and hospitality, and retail and consumer products.
I'm an ACCA member with more than 7 years of experience as an external auditor. I have a strong background in accounting and finance, with a BA degree from the University of the West of England. I have developed core competencies in financial statement auditing and strong knowledge of IFRS, through my progressive career at EY, starting as a senior auditor in 2020. I am motivated by the opportunities to learn new skills, expand my network, and contribute to the success of my clients and my organization.
I'm open to explore opportunities overseas to have exposure on different markets, expand my network, and get to know different cultures.
