Dear Sirs,

My name is Magzum Assanbayev, I am a Master Student at KIMEP University in Kazakhstan, expected to graduate in Spring 2022.

Having made some research into your organization I have deduced that my current skill set might be suitable to your needs.

Out of what I can offer, I have been practicing data analytics for 2.5 years at PwC Competency Centre in Audit and Assurance department dealing with audit automation with an Alteryx data analytics software. The software allows seamless big data manipulation and output, and has its own community sharing the ideas among others, please see link: https://community.alteryx.com/?category.id=external

As a track record, I can state that the workflows developed under my supervision have cut significant hours of repetitive work for audit teams, ranging from 5-20% per audit engagement with positive user feedback. The range of work done varies from automating mathematical accuracy check of consolidation reports to disclosure recompilation as well as journal entry analysis based on a predefined audit criteria. The workflows developed used Alteryx macros and RegEx to solve the problems in case.

The software is popular among largest corporate brands in the world which proves its value for cost and actuality in a competitive market of data analytics software. The evident users of the software are Big 4 audit companies, Google itself, Coca-Cola, Deutsche Bank, etc.

In addition, I have an entry-level acquaintance with Python and Excel VBA, having completed 'Crash Course on Python' and 'Excel/VBA for Creative Problem Solving, Part 1' courses on Coursera (see certificates attached). 

Please note that both courses were completed during the busy season under heavy audit workload being full-time employed at PwC. My eagerness and ability to learn is backed up by my Bachelor GPA of 4.31/4.33 at KIMEP, where I studied Finance and Accounting. I was also awarded scholarships and stipends for academic achievement for several years.

If this letter has caught your eye and made you interested, I am happy to brainstorm any potential projects that we can do together during the upcoming summer!

Please let me know by replying to this email.

Thank you!
