Description

I am a finance and internal controls consultant with a Big4 background, specialized in SOX, internal controls over financial reporting and audit readiness.

I have supported management teams across regulated and complex environments, including Financial Services, Energy and AdTech, helping them identify financial reporting and control risks, strengthen governance frameworks and prepare successfully for audits.

My experience includes SOX assessments, risk evaluations, design and review of key and non-key controls, coordination with external auditors and preparation of clear, management-level documentation.

I focus on short, high-impact advisory engagements such as gap analysis and remediation roadmaps, enabling organizations to improve control maturity without heavy operational involvement.
