Maylene Castaneda is an Assurance Manager at Sorren, based in the Philippines, where she provides audit and assurance services for U.S.-based clients, with a strong focus on nonprofit organizations and employee benefit plans. She brings extensive experience across external audit, internal audit, and assurance services, supporting organizations in industries including nonprofit, manufacturing, information technology, consumer products, and energy. Maylene works with clients ranging from mid-market organizations to multinational entities, helping them navigate complex reporting requirements and strengthen financial transparency.
Maylene has led full-cycle audit engagements from planning and risk assessment through substantive testing and financial statement preparation. She is known for her strong technical foundation, particularly in nonprofit accounting and compliance, and for her ability to clearly explain complex accounting guidance to clients. Her experience includes evaluating internal controls, identifying process improvements, managing engagement timelines, and mentoring staff to ensure high-quality, timely deliverables. One example of her problem-solving approach includes guiding a first-year nonprofit client through complex revenue recognition issues related to fiscal sponsorships and restricted revenue under ASC 958—helping the organization gain clarity, improve reporting accuracy, and move through the audit process with confidence.
Outside of work, Maylene is guided by the values instilled in her by her grandparents, whom she credits as her greatest inspiration for their kindness, integrity, and sense of purpose. She believes meaningful impact comes from both professional excellence and the way we treat others, and she brings that perspective to her work and relationships each day.
