Summary

My interests are finances and do it yourself projects. I enjoy the outdoors especially canoeing, swimming & cycling. Technology fascinates me and I enjoy using technology to make my work more efficient by automating processes. This usually gives me more capacity to focus on more complicated tasks that needs human intervention. I enjoy a challenge. I believe that healthy work relationships are very important for moral and effectiveness in a working environment.


I believe that having experience in the audit industry as well as having experience as accountant gives me an advantageous edge by knowing what auditors expect as well as what is practically possible therefor doing my work in a way that is practical in the industry but also ensuring deliverables auditors are looking for are in a format which contributes to an effective audit period.
