Senior Manager | Audit & Assurance @ Deloitte
About
As a Chartered Accountant with over 14 years of experience in audit, assurance, and risk management, I help organisations strengthen trust, enhance financial transparency, and unlock operational resilience. Currently a Senior Manager at Deloitte UK, I lead complex, cross-border audits for multinational corporations, fast-growing private businesses, and FTSE-listed companies. My work sits at the intersection of technical excellence and strategic insight — ensuring quality audits that inform better decisions and drive business confidence. With expertise across IFRS, UK GAAP, US GAAP, ISA and PCAOB auditing standards, I’ve led audit engagements across industries including Consumer & Industrial Products, Retail, Automotive, and Gaming. I’m passionate about harnessing data analytics and technology to improve audit efficiency and quality — while fostering strong relationships with C-suite stakeholders and audit committees. I’m particularly passionate about how artificial intelligence and emerging technologies are reshaping the audit landscape — from intelligent data analytics and exception analysis to predictive insights that enhance audit precision and stakeholder value. I actively explore ways to integrate these tools into our audit processes to deliver smarter, faster, and more insightful outcomes for clients. Beyond client delivery, I’m deeply committed to building inclusive teams and mentoring emerging talent, helping shape a culture where everyone can thrive. Core strengths: Audit & assurance | Risk & financial controls | Data analytics | Stakeholder reporting | Regulatory compliance | Diversity & inclusion leadership Let’s connect — I’m always keen to share ideas on transforming audit through innovation, collaboration, and integrity.
