Kimberly Rico
@kimberlyrico
Accountant with 10 years work experience who process taxes and reports with Sage, Xero, and TaxCalc.
What I'm looking for
I’m an Accountant focused on accurate, client-ready reporting—communicating on taxes and financial statements, preparing working papers, and producing management accounts aligned to service agreements.
At The Fishbourne Accountant Ltd., I prepare financial statements for limited companies and individual tax filings using Taxcalc, and I post adjusting journal entries to produce reliable Profit & Loss reports.
Earlier, as a Bookkeeper for UK-based small businesses, I worked across Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, TaxCalc, and Auto Entry—handling bookkeeping, payroll, pension submissions, and account reconciliations.
Before that, I led payroll for 600+ local and expatriate staff at Mactan Shangri-La Resort and Spa, and supported payroll, tax filings (1601c/1601CF), and government contributions (SSS, PHIC, HDMF, BIR). I also bring audit experience from my Junior Auditor role, including BIR tax return filings and audit report preparation, with a commitment to integrity and service to stakeholders.
