ABOUT AMANDA SANDHOLM
Not your typical experienced audit and finance professional - a technical and analytical auditor focused on compliance at the heart of an dynamic and approachable business partner; intent on developing strong cross functional working relationships, breaking the stigma associated with the term “auditor” through education and demonstrating value with clear results.Early beginnings in retail created a foundation of communication and interpersonal skills, while five years with the Big 4 put into practice the concepts and theory learned while earning a bachelor’s degree. Utilizing these skills together creates a highly effective method of performing within the finance department and contributing to continuous business process improvements in the corporate environment.I have accumulated years of experience with both public and private companies in the Silicon Valley, in the capacity of both an external and internal auditor, including financial statement and integrated audits, compliance functions (e.g. SOX, Conflict Minerals, Government reporting), and operational audits, and as a financial analyst supporting a manufacturing organization.
