Seasoned CPA-Lawyer with 7+ years of experience in public accounting and financial analysis.
What I'm looking for
As a Certified Public Accountant and Lawyer with over seven years of experience, I bring a unique blend of expertise in public accounting, financial analysis, and government accounting. My career began at Ernst and Young (EY) in the Philippines, where I gained extensive audit experience with publicly listed companies across various industries, including the national stock exchange, top digital banks, and multinational fast-food chains. This experience honed my skills in financial statutory audits, preparing workpapers, and ensuring compliance with regulatory standards.
In my subsequent role as a Supervisory Financial Analyst and Accountant at a National Government Agency, I further developed my expertise in financial reporting, budget analysis, and process implementation. I consistently received high performance ratings and successfully managed multiple engagements, ensuring accurate and timely financial statements. My proficiency in General Ledger Systems such as SAP, QuickBooks, and government-specific accounting systems, along with my advanced Microsoft Excel skills, has been instrumental in my professional success.
My academic achievements include a Juris Doctor degree and a BS in Management Accounting, complemented by passing the Philippine Bar Examinations in 2023. I am committed to leveraging my dual expertise in accounting and law to drive financial integrity and compliance in dynamic and growth-oriented organizations.
