Interview w/ Joane Mui - Senior Audit Manager at KPMG

1. Where do you work now and what are your main responsibilities? 

I am currently working as a senior audit manager at KPMG Enterprise practice. The Enterprise practice mainly works with private companies and not-for-profit organizations. I work with my clients to get through their annual audits, as well as assisting them with transactions as they happen during the year.

My main responsibilities are to oversee my audit engagement teams from planning to completion of the audits that run during the year, and work with my clients year round as a main point of contact. I am also a UFE manager at KPMG Enterprise. I work with the CA exam writers of my group to ensure they are getting the support and resources needed to sail through the process.
 
2. What advice would you give management students pursuing a career in Accounting?  

Start building your network as early as you can. Leverage from your professors, the UTSC Management Alumni Association to start building this network. Interact with these individuals as much as you can to start building meaningful relationships.

Always be humble yet hungry for knowledge. Be very open minded and strive to continuously improve. There is so much to learn out there, whether technical or soft skills, to better yourself as a professional. 

3. What do you miss most about your time at UTSC?

My time living on residence. I really enjoyed spending quality time with my friends who were also living on campus. It really strengthened many long-lasting friendships for me. UTSC feels like home to me since I was living on campus for a few years.
