Managing Director, Audit
I'm responsible for leading audit engagements for clients.
I'm a senior manager for KPMG's audit practice, so my daily responsibilities include planning and executing audit reports, advising on audit processes, and managing auditors on team engagements.
Here's the first step for everyone
Communication is key. It opens doors. If you communicate the things that are important to you, they're much easier to attain. For example, moving to KPMG's Dallas office wasn't on my radar at first but as soon as it became important to me to move, I communicated that to my managers and they helped make it happen.
