Hi, my name is Jose Louie Alvarez. I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. During my studies, I also completed an audit internship at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) Philippines, where I gained exposure to audit case studies and developed my Excel and financial analysis skills.
Currently, I’m working as a Finance Analyst at Ginebra San Miguel Inc., where I’ve been for over two years. In my role, I handle the consolidation of fixed operating expenses, perform income statement variance analysis, and independently prepare and file quarterly and annual income tax returns for the company and its subsidiaries. I also support the preparation of audited financial statements and work with systems such as SAP and BPC.
Through this experience, I’ve developed strong analytical skills, attention to detail, and a solid understanding of financial reporting and tax processes. I’m now looking for an opportunity where I can further grow my expertise in finance and contribute more to financial analysis and decision-making within the organization.
