Currently, I am an Audit Senior at Makosi SA (Pty) Ltd where I am on short term secondment to EY USA. My responsibilities include coaching juniors, reviewing and I am also in charge of investment confirmations of the investment company I am in the audit for.

In the prior year, I held the position of Senior Associate in the Financial Services:  Insurance and Investment management department within PwC. Under this role I managed to take more responsibilities and manage the junior associates that I have worked with. I have been part of audits of some big companies within South Africa, where I have gained experience in auditing investments and in conjunction   with the managers, we have created procedures that would enable us to obtain more assurance coverage over the level 2 investments.  I have also had exposure in communicating with the Actuaries and have gained insights of the work Actuaries do from an investment perspective. 

I have also been part of Insurance Company Audits where I have gained experience in investment products that insurance companies offer, understood the revenue streams of the companies, how valuation for investments that have readily available prices on the markets are determined and gained experience in group reporting.

I have also taken a leading role in the engagements that I have worked on as a senior and have been the bridge between the associates and the managers which I have done exceptionally. 

Prior to my current position I was an associate 2 within the same department. Under this role I took more responsibilities such as coaching the first years and took more responsibilities over the work that was performed. Under this role I gained extensive experience in the operations of Insurance companies such as the products that they offer both risk products and savings products and how these are accounted for and the revenue streams of these companies. 

Throughout my career at PwC I have managed to harness strong financial skills, have a business acumen to solve problems as I have experienced challenges within the engagements that I have worked on. I have gained excellent knowledge of applications such as PowerPoint, Excel and Microsoft Word.  I have also attended training for systems such as Power BI and Alteryx. 

I have also been very efficient in multitasking as I have usually worked on multiple engagements at the same time throughout my career within PwC. 

I have managed to create excellent relationships with the teams that I have worked with and the clients that I have been exposed to.

I have consistently received very good feedback from the managers and the associates that I have worked with. 

During my years in university, I was awarded a Dean’s List award and I am a Golden Key International Honour Society member.
