Bayi is originally from Benin, a French-speaking country in West Africa! In her free time, Bayi enjoys spending time with her husband and three children, hiking, reading, traveling, and learning about other cultures. Bayi’s father was an accountant which led her to pursue a career in the same field. She has a bachelor’s degree in accounting, 12 years of experience in financial auditing, and is almost a CPA (she’s waiting on her results).
As an Audit Manager at the Baird Audit Group, she is responsible for planning, reporting, and presenting audits. Most of her time is spent analyzing financial statements and supporting documents, compiling information, and communicating with clients to resolve any discrepancies. In her 5 1/2 years working at Baird, her confidence has grown, and she has enjoyed being part of a team and company that is continuously improving.
A phrase that inspires Bayi is “a little drop of water overtime can become an ocean”. It’s a reminder that if you work hard each day, it will pay off and the results will be great. So, regardless of your circumstances, you should never give up on your dreams!
