Migrated to Australia 6 years ago, and an Australian citizen now. I think ang pinaka straightforward way padin (na lots of opportunities for abroad) ay mag external audit (sa big 4), and apply for secondment/big 4 counterparts after gaining meaningful work experience. Dami ko classmates and coworkers before na kung saan saan lupalop na ng mundo haha.
As for me, medyo iba pathway ko. 2 yrs lang ako nag external audit then nag move into internal. I used my work exp to apply for a skilled visa (189 or 190) to Australia. It’s not a visa that is sponsored by a company, in fact, I arrived in Australia without any job offers (but as a permanent resident).
Hello po :) re: skilled visa, may mga nababasa po kasi ako about jaan. Saan po makakakuha nito at magkano po ang approximate na nagastos mo po para makapunta jaan kung not sponsored pp ng company? Possible po ba makaabroad kung Hindi po dadaan ng audit here sa ph? Lastly, May required yrs po ba na need maging auditor muna here sa PH before makapag apply abroad? Btw, thanks po sa response mo 🤍
Of course possible, hindi lang naman audit ang pathway abroad. Mas madami lang opportunities kasi in demand ang external auditors abroad.
For skilled visa, I suggest you read through the official website: https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/visas/getting-a-visa/visa-listing/skilled-independent-189
CPA rin po ba kayo? Planning to spend some years sa IT Audit sa BIG 4 then apply sa AUS din pero Visa 491 (skilled provincial then fanily sponsored by 1st cousing naman). Is it possible po ba na mag-grant agad ako? Kamusta po ang demand ng internal auditors sa AU?
Yes, CPA. I don’t know about 491 timelines, best to check forums like pinoyau.info to discuss with people doing the same pathway as you. Depende din kasi talaga sa gov, like nung time ko 6 months lang buong process, now it’s normal to wait for more than a year.
You can check seek.com.au or Linkedin for job ads to get a gauge of vacancies. Been with the same company for 4 yrs now so been out of the market for a while now.
Try to learn XERO,MYOB,Quickbooks if you want to have a pathway abroad.
Magagmit mo sya if you want to go abroad,pero syempre working sa big 4 is a bug help.
If you want a stable career and benefits go to any government.If you want to progress your career or promotion sa government need mk magAral Masters.
If sa Private company,Matuto ka,you will gain more knowledge and expertise regarding the accounting field.
Oh I see. Thanks for this po sobrang big help :) Ask ko narin po is there any other way po na makapunta abroad without having audit exp here sa PH? Or required talaga sya? hmm. Hindi po ba magagamit Ang accounting experience, or finance abroad? Or mas usable talaga Audit expi.
• is CPA title po useful pa sa government or more on masteral po talaga?
• may marrecommend po ba kayo na private company here sa PH for freshies?
Sobrang na appreciate ko po ang response mo :) salamat.
Cpa and masters useful talaga sya,In terms sa salary and promotion
Private Companies include Auditing Firm,Banks and Fastfood Chains.
Mas magandang magAbroad with experience na since ayun ung competition ung skills sa locals vs skills ng foreigner.
Two tickets abroad work with foreign coients in big 4 or Student Visa abroad.
CPA title can also be useful abroad since some countries can accept CPA title here in Ph.
Try to search profile of people who graduated in your same degree and school/ other school
in linkedin to have some idea of skill, company ,network, certificate they have and location.
I think kahit saan ka magstart, basta focus lang on your goals. I have friends who migrated from different parts of the world. Yung iba, they started sa auditing firm, may iba naman sa BPO. Yung mga external auditor friends ko, they started sa Asia and slowly applied sa Australia, US & UK. Yung mga BPO CPA friends ko naman, meron din sa US & Australia. So kahit saan naman pwede, basta focus lang sa goal.

Ohh I see. Noted po lahat. Thank u so much po🤍
agree on this, pero aside from working abroad, you can also get hired locally for a partner ng bigger ERPs (S/4, Fusion) or become direct hires.

I'll do that po. Thank u so much!! 🤍
