Accounting and Audit Specialist

I am an MSc Accounting & Control candidate at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with practical experience in external audit at EY Amsterdam and operations/risk management in banking. I focus on finance, audit, data analysis and business process improvement, and I am especially interested in remote opportunities.

I have worked on audit engagements for international companies across multiple industries, where I performed analytical procedures, test of details, substantive audit procedures and audit documentation review in line with internal standards. I also worked with financial statements prepared under IFRS.

In my banking role, I supported KYC and AML procedures, customer due diligence, onboarding, transaction monitoring and operational discrepancy investigations. I also coordinated with a French banking partner and assisted clients with banking operations and payments.

My academic background includes a BSc in International Business Administration from Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam and ongoing MSc studies in Accounting & Control. I also completed a private equity and venture capital certificate at Bocconi University and participated in professional finance communities.

I have strong technical and analytical skills, including Excel, R, Python and financial analysis. My experience has helped me build a solid foundation in audit, compliance and working with large datasets.

I am a native Russian speaker with professional proficiency in English and Dutch. I am motivated to contribute in finance, audit and analytical roles where I can support high-quality decision-making and process improvement.
