Kayla Daniels

I am an assurance and audit professional with over seven years of experience in public accounting and corporate auditing, currently serving as Assurance Manager at Cray Kaiser LTD in Oakbrook Terrace, Illinois, a role I have held since August 2025. In this position, I lead assurance services, manage audit engagements, and ensure compliance with regulatory standards, delivering high-quality financial reporting and advisory support to clients.

I have been with Cray Kaiser LTD for over three years, having previously served as Assurance Supervisor and Senior Assurance Accountant, where I developed my expertise in audit management, assurance services, and client relationship building. Prior to rejoining Cray Kaiser, I served as Senior Accountant at The Heico Companies LLC for nearly one year, where I supported accounting and financial reporting functions.

Earlier in my career, I served as Senior Auditor at CapinCrouse LLP for two years, where I specialized in auditing nonprofit and mission-driven organizations, and as Senior Internal Auditor at RR Donnelley for eight months, where I gained experience in corporate internal audit.

Across my career in assurance and auditing, my work has been driven by a commitment to accuracy, integrity, and helping organizations achieve financial transparency and accountability. Whether I am leading audit engagements, supervising teams, or providing strategic financial guidance, I bring strong analytical skills, a collaborative approach, and a dedication to excellence that supports my clients and their stakeholders. I am proud of the work I have done and excited to continue growing as a leader in the assurance profession.
