About Sasha van Deventer

I recently earned my Master of Accounting (MAcc) from the University of Utah and will be joining KPMG’s Boston office as an Audit Associate in Fall 2026 following my Summer 2025 audit internship with the firm. During my internship, I gained hands-on experience across multiple industries, strengthened my technical and analytical skills, and confirmed my commitment to building a long-term career in public accounting.Alongside my accounting experience, I currently support growth and marketing initiatives at Muddy Gecko, where I contribute to business development efforts and gain exposure to how strategy, operations, and financial performance connect within a business.While completing my graduate degree, I served as a Graduate Teaching Assistant for Financial Accounting, helping students build a strong foundation in accounting concepts and structured problem-solving. I also held leadership roles in Beta Alpha Psi as Vice President of Marketing & Technology and Vice President of Activities, where I led initiatives to increase engagement, strengthen industry connections, and enhance the chapter’s overall impact.As a Bookkeeper at Healing Focus Counseling, I gained hands-on experience with the full accounting cycle, including reconciliations, accounts payable and receivable, and month-end processes. This role reinforced the importance of accuracy, consistency, and well-structured financial systems in supporting day-to-day operations.I’m particularly interested in international work and the life sciences industry, and I’m excited by opportunities that allow me to combine strong technical accounting skills with a broader understanding of how businesses operate and grow.
