Audit Associate
I protect the capital markets by helping clients ensure their financials are aligned with current accounting guidance.
Each morning, I meet with my engagement team and senior (anywhere from 2 to 8 people) to discuss the status of the audit and address any questions. From here I will make a to-do list for myself of the different tasks I hope to accomplish that day. I am task-driven, and it helps my productivity to know that I will check items off my list and progress the audit. As I have questions, I will collaborate with the team before reaching out to the client to assistance.
