Paida Chinyenya
Senior Audit Manager
As a Senior Audit Manager, I lead audits from planning through to completion, working closely with clients and partners to ensure a high-quality, efficient audit process.
I bring over a decade of experience in audit, having worked at Big 4 and mid-tier firms across different countries, including PwC Zimbabwe, PwC Namibia, EY UK, and Forvis Mazars UK. I have a particular interest in audit methodology, quality, and efficiency tools, especially in how data analytics can enhance audit processes.

For me, audit is about building strong relationships and helping businesses navigate their audit requirements smoothly.
I joined Byrd + Link because of its close-knit, agile approach to audit. Unlike many firms, there’s very little bureaucracy, and the hands-on involvement of RIs throughout the audit process ensures better outcomes for clients and a more rewarding experience for the team.
My favourite Byrd + Link value? "Better than yesterday." While I strongly believe in collaboration, I ultimately chose continuous improvement—because every day presents an opportunity to refine our processes and enhance how we work together and with clients.
Outside of work, my wife Mercy and our two boys, Ryan and Zane, keep me on my toes. We love heading out on drives and exploring new places, especially in the South West.
I’m also a staunch Manchester United fan and getting to watch them play at Old Trafford with my family was an unforgettable experience. Music is another big passion—if I’m not at a gig, you’ll probably find me dancing the night away, whiskey in hand!
