𝗛𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗼! 𝗜'𝗺 𝗕𝗮𝗹𝗮𝗷𝗶 𝗠 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗮 (𝗽𝗹𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲 𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗹 𝗺𝗲 𝗔𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗲𝘆𝗮). You lead a CPA / CA firm in a world where regulatory expectations are rising, assurance & quality management standards (ISQM 1, SQMS-1, QC 1000, CSQM 1) evolve fast, and clients demand more than just compliance, all while your firm faces growing risks. You care about assurance quality, but outdated processes, manual reviews, and broken systems make it hard to deliver consistent quality and manage risk effectively. I get it, because I’ve lived it. ✔️ Years in Audit & Assurance, leading high-performing teams ✔️ Delivered complex projects, hit deadlines, exceeded expectations ✔️ Felt the effect of inefficiencies and crushing pressure to do more with less That friction sparked something. I didn’t just want to work in the system: I want to improve it. So I'm leaning into innovation, problem-solving, & systems thinking to: 🔧 Build tools to simplify Engagement Quality Reviews 📊 Design smart systems to implement and monitor firm-wide System of Quality Management (SoQM) that mitigate real risks & increase efficiency by 50%+. Now, 𝙄 𝙝𝙚𝙡𝙥 𝙢𝙞𝙙-𝙩𝙞𝙚𝙧 𝘾𝘼 / 𝘾𝙋𝘼 𝙛𝙞𝙧𝙢𝙨: ✅ Strengthen Assurance Quality, ✅ Mitigate engagement-level, and firm-level quality risks, ✅ Make continuous improvement real, not just a policy! The goal? YOUR transformed firm is streamlined, quality-first, tech-enabled that reduces inefficiencies, lowers compliance risk, and empowers your teams to deliver higher-quality work! A focused 20-minute conversation could unlock tangible results for your team. Interested? Let’s connect - no pressures, just practical ideas. Now, a bit about me: Numbers are my thing, but my passion’s something more: ✅ Innovator trapped in an auditor’s body - I love to build, write, and solve! ✅ Obsessed with making systems better and teams succeed ✅ I believe: 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 + 𝗵𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘀 = 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗲 𝘄𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 (my family's core value too) ✅ I live by: systems > goals, process > perfection, consistency > intensity ✅ Failure’s okay. Fear is not. My biggest win? My wife and two amazing boys are my life’s joy and inspiration. 👨‍👩‍👦‍👦 Outside work, you’ll find me: 🚶 hiking or walking, 🏕 camping, 📚 reading, ♟️ playing chess with my boys (they have the edge!), or 🎨 painting to recharge!
