I am a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) with nearly five years of diverse work experience in accounting, auditing, and taxation. My professional background includes a solid understanding of the relevant standards, such as International Accounting Standards (IAS), Philippine Accounting Standards (PAS), International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), and Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS).
In addition to my core accounting expertise, I am detail-oriented, highly adaptable, and have gained valuable experience in consulting, particularly in financial crime compliance. I was part of a team providing third-party services to a German bank, focusing on Know Your Customer (KYC) processes. My initial role was as a KYC Analyst, responsible for gathering and reviewing evidence for each customer to ensure their legitimacy and to confirm they were not involved in money laundering or terrorist financing activities. After six months, I was promoted to a KYC Signatory, where I acted as a quality control specialist, verifying that all work completed by KYC analysts adhered to existing policies and compliance standards.
My experience also includes a role as an Accountant for the City Government of Makati, where I was responsible for preparing and providing monthly financial reports for various assigned funds. This position honed my ability to manage public sector financials with precision and accountability.
Additionally, I have experience as an Internal Auditor for a local bank in the Philippines, where I assessed the bank's internal controls, evaluated risks, and ensured compliance with regulatory requirements.
Currently, I work as a General Accounting Analyst, where I manage Oracle period-end closing activities across Receivables, Payables, and General Ledger modules. My responsibilities include preparing comprehensive financial packages using OneStream, posting adjustment and accrual journal entries, and ensuring adherence to accounting standards. I also conduct balance sheet account reconciliations, manage open or aged items, mitigate risks, and assist with audit requirements, ensuring accuracy and compliance.
Throughout my career, I have developed strong soft skills, including intermediate to advanced proficiency in Microsoft applications, effective communication with clients, and the ability to perform well under pressure. My ability to manage multiple tasks and meet deadlines consistently has contributed to my success in various challenging roles.
