KPMG UK

• United Kingdom
• Accounting
• 700 & Above Employee

• Accountant

  • Oct 2011 - Jan 2015

  Throughout my time at KPMG I audited HSBC (consolidated accounts), Banco Espírito Santo, Phibro, ANZ and ICICI. I was also able to organise short term internal moves to the Training and Development department, and onto an asset quality project. The variety of banks I worked on gave me exposure to commercial, retail and investment banking; therefore, providing me with broad industry knowledge. The key outcome from the three years in audit was being assistant manager on the audit of HSBC, leading a team of 15 associates to produce high quality work that fitted to a very tight deadline; all whilst managing my own workload and being the bridge between the junior team and the partners. As I was auditing the head office, rather than focussing on the numbers, my focus was largely on material events and items that could have a significant impact on the Group numbers. Show less
