What I'm looking for

I'm looking to contribute my tax compliance, reconciliation, financial reporting, and audit-support experience in an accounting role where accuracy, organized records, and timely regulatory reporting are valued.

At the Philippine Ports Authority, I manage 600–650+ monthly VAT transactions and prepare SAWT, VAT Returns, and Alphalist reports with 98–100% accuracy and 100% on-time submission.

I've supported accounting operations across tax compliance, General Ledger review, account reconciliation, trial balance analysis, financial reporting, and month-end processes. I use QuickBooks and Excel to investigate discrepancies, maintain audit-ready records, and help teams deliver accurate financial information.
