My focus is end\-to\-end internal audit: planning and leading engagements across Order\-to\-Cash, Procure\-to\-Pay, Inventory, and Fixed Assets, testing internal controls, and translating findings into recommendations senior leadership actually acts on\. Before moving into audit, I spent years deep in RTR, AP, and reconciliations which means I don't just test controls in theory, I understand exactly how the transactions, systems, and teams behind them actually work\. What I bring to an audit or risk team: \- End\-to\-end audit planning, testing, and documentation aligned to internal and industry standards \- Process improvement and automation including a VBA\-based solution that saved \~93 hours per SAP environment while cleaning up 3,900\+ GL line items \- Six Sigma Green & Yellow Belt training applied to real process and control redesign, not just theory \- Hands\-on fluency in SAP/HANA, VIM, Audit Board, and increasingly, AI\-enabled audit tools like Copilot and Databricks \- A track record of working directly with tower leads, department heads, and senior management to close the gap between audit findings and action\.
