  • 2-3 years of public practice audit and accounting experience, with meaningful exposure to client engagements
  • A solid working knowledge of IFRS and auditing standards, with the ability to apply them in real-world scenarios
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the confidence to build trusted relationships with clients and colleagues
  • Excellent organizational skills and attention to detail, with comfort managing multiple priorities using tools such as Caseware, MS Office, and emerging technologies
