Senior Auditor

Mar 2014 - Nov 2018
During my time at Crowe Horwath, I worked across a range of clients in both external and internal audits. Predominantly specialising in non-for-profit organizations, but was still exposed to government entities, fair work organisations and private companies. My experience consist of leading the engagement team and communicating effectively with key stakeholders. I gained a sound understanding of the client's system and processes which enabled the ability to provide vital recommendations during the audits. Through the Chartered Accountants program, I have a thorough knowledge of accounting standards, financial reporting requirements and Australian Auditing Standards. I am particularly proficient with the preparation of financial statements and have experience with a variety of accounting software systems. I also gained experience in the business service team performing taxation returns, monthly reconciliations and advice to clients. Show less
