Jane Symons

I am a senior finance and assurance professional with 11+ years of Big Four experience in leading complex international audits across digital media and advertising, technology and semiconductors, and life sciences industries. My experience includes serving multinational listed and SEC-registered companies, where I work closely with senior finance leadership and Audit Committees across complex, cross-border organisations.

I bring deep expertise in financial reporting, governance, risk, internal controls and assurance, including IFRS, US reporting environments and SOX. I have developed a strong understanding of the expectations placed on management and boards around financial integrity, effective controls, regulatory compliance and transparent reporting. My day-to-day includes independently challenging management assumptions, assessing complex accounting and business risks, and translating technical issues into clear insights for senior stakeholders.

I would bring particular value to international businesses, scale-ups and established companies navigating growth, increasing regulatory or investor scrutiny, international expansion, transformation or increasing organisational complexity. I am particularly interested in board and committee positions where my experience in financial oversight, audit, risk, governance and controls can contribute to robust decision-making and sustainable growth.
