Salary: PHP63,000 monthly (USD1,260)
Hours: 40-44 hours per week
As the company's Financial Accountant, I worked directly under the Finance and Administration Manager. I was delegated various tasks relating to general accounting and financial reporting. On the general accounting side, I supervise the input of financial data on the company's books. Every end of the month, I oversee the closing of the books, making sure that all events that happened during the month are complete and accurate. I manage the billings to our clients and follow through so that collection is made on time to ensure that the Company has the appropriate funds to settle the payables with subcontractors and other suppliers, salaries of the employees, and other expenses. On the financial reporting, I prepare detailed reports with supporting schedules such as 15-month expenditure budget with estimates and variations analysis, cash flows, Financial Packages and various management reports as are required by the head office. All of these are part of the monthly, quarterly and annual reporting packages that the Finance Manager uses during the monthly management meetings held at the Hong Kong Head Office. At every end of the Company's fiscal year, I prepare the Company's Financial Statements and Tax Returns and submit the same on time to the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Bureau of Internal Revenue. I am also the direct contact of the Company's external auditors in all of their queries and needs during the course of their audit of the Financial Statements. The experience I gained from SGV & Co. has made me confident in fulfilling this scope of my work. Other responsibilities I had were safekeeping of the petty cash fund, important contracts and high value checks; maintaining files of project contracts, quarterly balance sheets and income statements; assisting in the internal audit of the Head Office; assisting in the procurement of PCAB (Philippine Contractors Accreditation Board) License - licensing of construction contractors; assisted in the audit conducted by the Bureau of Internal Revenue.
