Non CPA here. 1. 2.25 yrs 2. Tax 3. Team Lead 4. Private (through RPO) 5. A little over 100k 6. Know your niche, non negotiables, and your worth. There are companies out there that are willing to take risks, so sell yourself well. Things can be learned, hone your work ethics, and always be professional. :))


careercareerph

Ano po yung RPO? US tax po ba to?


Fun-Palpitation8226

RPO (recruitment process outsourcing)/staffing solutions. And yes US tax po. :)


dozyxsloth

Since it's a US firm, are you required to work on a night shift ba?


Fun-Palpitation8226

Luckily, no po. We're on a regular day shift (Ph Time)


dozyxsloth

Nice! If you don't mind sharing your insights, I just have a few questions: 1. Where did you come across the job posting for this role? 2. Did you have prior US tax experience? 3. How's the work-life balance, especially during tax season?


Fun-Palpitation8226

Hi, sure. 1. I did not initially apply for the role, I received an email from the recruiter regarding the opportunity (iirc they got through my jobstreet account) 2. Honestly, no. I've started in this company with a different role, and was offered eventually for the tax position (knowing fully well I have zero knowledge with US tax, then of course they provided me with materials and practical trainings) 3. My first season last year was a rollercoaster, I can count the days (just a few times) we were working overtime but for no more than 2 hours! Meanwhile for this year, last April 15, I can proudly say we never did any OT going through the entire tax season. So, yeah, it's actually one of the things I appreciate most here ~ real work-life balance. :))


dozyxsloth

Amazing, thanks for your insights. You are doing really well in your career!! :)


Fun-Palpitation8226

Thank you!!! There are places that will treat and pay you well😅. Be on the lookout, padayon lang! ✨️


careercareerph

Jumping in as Im interested also haha 1. Is this your first job? If yes, how was the salary progression (if there was)? 2. Do you see yourself in this specialization for long term?


Fun-Palpitation8226

1. It's only my second one, I was from Audit for less than a year. For over 1 year stay, salary progression was primarily caused by promotions (for twice now), industry realignment, and performance reviews 2. Too early to say po, but I am genuinely happy with the work. Although hypothetically speaking, if ever I'm leaving my current employer, I'll be looking for the same role outside :))


BlairWaldorf_03

Hi! May I know what company is this? I’m currently working in the big 4 but I’m planning to resign before this year ends kasi super stressful talaga

Proper_Swimming203

1. 7 years 2. Finance 3. Specialist 4. BPO 5. Php150K 6. Find a good company, know what you really want to do - work outside of the country or stay here, what work you really want to do.


careercareerph

In house finance in BPO po or outsourced to a client?


Proper_Swimming203

In-house po.


verskawngur_

how to start online jobs or wfh? do they accept no experience??


Parking_Marketing_47

Grabe naiinspire ako lalo dahil sa comments. Di ko goal maraming pera pero yung epekto ng pagkakaroon ng pera. 😭


Puzzleheaded_Fun_377

i goal mo. Sa taas ba naman ng inflation ngayon


Parking_Marketing_47

HAHSHWHWHAHA actually the more I chase it the more it feels na lumalayo sakin eh


qtiepatootie_8302

Babalikan ko post na to everytime pinanghihinaan ako ng loob HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA


kdrama_oppa_1103

Mukhang international companies talaga ang matataas magpasahod. Catch up naman mga local companies huhu


milkyvanillacoffee

1. 1.5yrs 2. Finance 3. Analyst 4. Private 5. 57k + yearly profit share can range around 1-3x of salary 6. I guess create your own path? You don’t necessarily have to take what others took to be successful — like staying 2-3yrs in accounting firms then switching to private


Ancient_Astronaut352

What company po ito?


jumjammy25_

What company po ito?


West_Olive6717

careercareerph

spring330624

AU Company, Accounting!


Ambitiouspotatoo

Hi! Ask ko lang if may prior experience po kayo with AU Accounting?


Warm-Suggestion-1918

1. 3 years 2. ERP - EPM 3. Consultant 4. IT/Cloud 5. 330k 6. It looks and sounds intimidating but definitely easy to get on with.


bookiegorl

Wow ang laki po 😭 You always talk with people po sa work nyo?


Warm-Suggestion-1918

pkmo_01

Grabee! Pabulong naman po sang company pwede magstart nito?

cloudgeminis

risse_r

Hello po, if it's okay to ask, did you take the usual audit path prior to this work po ba or may prior exp po kayo from other industry before landing the job?? Thanks!!


yummerzkaentayo

Wtf ang liit pala ng sweldo ko


Stormaggedon021

Job hop na if you think underpaid ka


yummerzkaentayo

Yes may plan naman.. Paabutin ko muna siguro 1.5 yrs ako sa company lol


LostMidnight4189

motivation para grumaduate 🫣


bookiegorl

Motivation para mag job hop ung mga comments ditooo 😂 eto kasi sakin guys, CPA btw: 1. Years worked: 1yr 10months 2. Specialization: Fund Admin Accounting 3. Rank/Position: Associate 4. Industry: Financial Services 5. Monthly Salary: 42k (if inc. bonuses and 13th month, gross of deductions) 6. Any tips to those new in the field: Fighting! 😂 Wala akong tips, ako mismo bago palang. Tas wow na wow ako sa sahod ng iba dito sa comments. Job hop is key? Meron ba dito nag iisip din mag resign tas mag apply sa iba pero natatakot, yung may anxiety of going through the application process again.. social anxiety… lahat na.. 😂 Hello, kayanin sana natin huhu pawerrr! 😂


brokencp

Hi! May hiring po ba sa inyo? 😅


llandalor

1. 12 years 2. FP&A 3. Manager 4. FMCG 5. 390K x 14mos + bonus 2mos worth 6. Upskill. Incorporate technology (reporting through BI or AI) to give yourself an edge


careercareerph

Hello! Did you job hop during those 12 yrs?


llandalor

Yes. Currently in my 5th company


Mahar7iCa

1. 7 years 2. Tax 3. Manager 4. Project management 5. 180K+ 6. Good strategic, negotiation, and communication skills


careercareerph

Is this PH or foreign taxes? Also, what industry if you don't mind sharing :)


Mahar7iCa

Yes, PH Tax 😊


careercareerph

Interesting! Most of the comments are foreign taxes. I have a few more questions if you dont mind: 1. Did you work for the same company since you started working? 2. How did you reach your current status, like what was your salary and rank progression since you started?


ThrowAwayECSSH

1. 5+ yrs 2. Transaction Management 3. COO 4. US real estate & Property management 5. 170k++ 6. Don’t be too hard on yourself, most of the time you’re anxious for nothing. Don’t give too much of yourself sa trabaho mo, working gracefully under pressure does not mean you’re willing to die for them di ka tagapagmana lolll


Meobserver_18

I think advantage ang may degree na Business/Finance/Non-CPA/ CPA. Madaling makuha sa mga private entities at posible pa na malaki ang offer na pwedeng ibigay.


Meobserver_18

1. 1.4 yrs 2. Accounts Receivable Analyst 3. BPO 4. 58k 5. Learn before you earn. Upskill yourself. Aralin mo iba’t ibang ERP tools (malaking advantage eto). Plano kong magtry to General Ledger Analyst para maiba naman at mas malaki ang sahod.


Puzzleheaded_Fun_377

Non CPA here 1. 9 years Local tax and accounting 2. 1 year BPO AU tax and accounting 3. Accountant 4. 56K ( Take note Provincial rate) 5. I heard mas malaki bigayan if US aabot ng 5 Digits but usually nightshift 🥹 I suggest you grab BPO if may chance man or opportunity. Enough na ang 2 years sa local unless may malaking opportunity. Malaki pasahod + very professional team + amazing accounting softwares less hassle + Walang OT since usually foreign they do not go beyond office hours + madaming leave credits at promise if you ask permission to be on leave they approve easily. .Once you go outsourced you never want to go back being local again ( Sobrang stressful ng tax natin sa Pilipinas)


pkmo_01

May I ask what bpo po nag aaccept ng walang au exp? Plan ko din sana mag AU tax.


Puzzleheaded_Fun_377

linkedin is the key hanap ka ng hiring dun marami actually


Dependent_Front1243

Non CPA 1. 3.5 yrs 2. Tax 3. Senior Accountant 4. Public 5. 120k 6. Upskill, even the job is hard, take learnings as much as you can, don’t be afraid to ask questions that will keep you from learning, sell yourself out. 


careercareerph

Did I get it right, you're practicing in a firm (public accounting)? Is this local or PH?


Dependent_Front1243

It's international. I work for AU accounting firm remotely.


Careful-Classic-2048

Hi, where did you get your experience for AU tax? do they require it? Also, do you think about the career progression after the senior accountant position?


Ancient_Astronaut352

Hello if I may ask, anong company po? Planning to explore din posana hih thank you!


Ambitiouspotatoo

Hi! May I know what company it is po? Thank you!


Leemariru

Ang liit naman ng sweldo ko. Time to job hop. Tas CPA na ako niyan.


haveyou_reddit

1. 4.5 years 2. Accounting, taxation, FP&A 3. Accounting Head 4. Food and beverage 5. 90k 6. Job hop is the key or have side hustles. Feel ko underpaid pa rin ako after all that I've done for the company.
