I've led financial reporting and fund-monitoring work for CHED UniFAST, reviewing around 20 reports monthly and resolving discrepancies across participating institutions. I coordinate teams and stakeholders to maintain reporting compliance, accountability, and accurate financial records.

My background also includes financial statement audit and AML/KYC review at PwC Philippines, along with government accounting at Capiz State University. I prepare financial statements, reconcile general ledgers, monitor budgets, and apply pre-audit controls using advanced Excel.
