As an Audit Manager, I led audit engagements for high-growth companies, with a focus on pre-IPO readiness and public company transformation. My role involved overseeing complex audits during the IPO process, guiding clients through the implementation of SOX-compliant internal controls, and advising on finance function maturity to support public market expectations. I partnered closely with cross-functional teams to drive finance transformation initiatives, including ERP system implementations, and played a key role in acquisition audits—assessing financial reporting, integration risks, and control environments. My experience spans end-to-end project oversight, from technical accounting to operational execution, ensuring clients were prepared for regulatory scrutiny and sustained growth post-IPO.
