About

Professional summary

I am an experienced bookkeeper and finance professional with extensive expertise in accounting operations, financial reporting, bank reconciliations, payroll, tax compliance, and budgeting. I currently serve as a Finance Coordinator for a diagnostic company group, overseeing branch-level accounting operations and reporting.

I have progressed from cashier and bookkeeping support roles to Accounting Assistant, Head of Accounting, and Finance Coordinator through reliability, attention to detail, and the ability to work independently. My background includes more than two decades of finance, bookkeeping, administrative, and accounting experience.

I am proficient in QuickBooks, financial statement preparation, accounts payable, cash management, transaction posting, accruals, adjustments, and bank reconciliation. I also support budgeting, sales forecasting, capital expenditure analysis, break-even analysis, and investor dividend computations.

I have hands-on experience with Philippine regulatory and statutory requirements, including BIR filings, expanded withholding taxes, VAT requirements, SSS, PHIC, HDMF contributions, permits, licenses, and payroll deductions. I am comfortable handling online bank transactions, e-filing, and remote coordination with internal teams and external accountants.

In my current leadership role, I supervise accounting staff, review branch financial performance, support new branch start-ups, and help guide accounting heads on operational scoreboards and procedures. I am skilled in coordinating with management, HR, payroll, vendors, lessors, investors, and branch personnel.

I communicate in English, Filipino, and Chinese and bring a practical, organized, and detail-oriented approach to finance operations. I am committed to maintaining accurate records, strengthening financial controls, and delivering timely reporting to support business decisions.

Notice period: March 2027 onwards
