What I'm looking for

I seek a role in project cost control or financial reporting where I can drive accurate forecasts, improve processes, and support audits within a collaborative infrastructure or construction environment.

I am a cost accounting specialist with over 12 years of experience supporting large-scale infrastructure projects, focused on cost control, budgeting, forecasting, and financial reporting.

At NLEX Corporation I validated contractor payments, managed AR/AP tasks, conducted variance analysis, and prepared monthly, quarterly, and annual forecasts that supported executive decision-making.

I have led cost monitoring and payment certification for major projects including Candaba 3rd Viaduct, NLEX–SLEX Connector Road, and Harbor Link segments, and I improve processes to reduce costs and enhance compliance with PFRS/GAAP.

I am proficient in SAP ECC/S4 HANA, QuickBooks, and advanced MS Excel, adaptable to new systems, and experienced in supporting audits, reconciliations, and cross-functional coordination.
