What I'm looking for

I am seeking a role that values strategic financial planning and offers opportunities for professional growth.

With over seven years of experience in the accounting field, I have honed my skills in both public and private practice. My journey began as a Tax Associate at EY, where I worked closely with companies in various industries, ensuring compliance and maintaining their financial records. This foundational experience paved the way for my current role as a General Administrative Manager at Tictabs IT Solutions, where I oversee daily operations and contribute to strategic decision-making.

As a licensed CPA, I possess a strong understanding of International Financial Reporting Standards, GAAP, and Philippine Financial Reporting Standards. My commitment to excellence is reflected in my ability to build robust internal controls that have successfully reduced operational costs by 20% annually. I am passionate about leveraging my expertise in budget planning and financial analysis to drive organizational success and ensure compliance with tax regulations.
