Sabrina Chan

ACA exam-qualified professional at KPMG London with three years' experience on FTSE 100 group and component audits under UK and US (PCAOB) regulations. I lead three workstreams (Tax, Treasury & Debt, Pensions) on a global group operating in 100+ countries. I supervise three junior colleagues and coordinate specialist and overseas teams across Europe and Asia.

Most of my role is client-facing: I handle recurring and ad-hoc requests on deadlines, keep trackers up to date and explain complex numbers clearly to partners and senior management. Now looking to bring this experience to investor relations in private markets.
