Assurance professional with 2+ years at PwC, experienced in leading audits and cross-border teams to deliver actionable financial insights under tight deadlines. Having passed the first two CFA exams, I possess robust technical skills in accounting, financial modeling, and valuation, complemented by the ability to interpret and communicate complex financial data succinctly. Recognized for combining analytical rigour and stakeholder engagement, I am eager to apply these strengths in a role where I can bring value to an organisation, make a meaningful difference, and continue acquiring the personal skills that will help me develop as an individual.
