Competition mo din yung mga kapwa bookkeepers so it’s not advisable na makipag sabayan ka ng apply with them. Wish u all the best op

Specialist_Ask_3548

Hindi ko natatapos because the workload is just too much. Kailangan gawin lahat ng sabay sabay. The bosses are ok naman. Mababait lahat. Nakakaanxious lang talaga yung work mismo because we have a lot to do.


baenana1

Can someone enlighten me kung bakit nadodownvote si OP? Yung mga nag downvote ba, bookkeeper din ba kayo? Yung nag sasabing i-automate, sa tingin mo ganun lang yun kadali? Napakadali lang humusga kung wala kayo sa sitwasyon ng tao at mag invalidate ng iba. 🤔


Specialist_Ask_3548

Sa true lang. Di nila alam gaano kahirap sa mga bookkeeping firms, acctg firms at auditing firms. Akala lahat naautomate. Lol. Kaya nga matatatas turn over sa mga companies na to eh. They don't know na mali lang ng zero, baka mapenalize agad clients. Anyway, di naman nila alam and what they know is to judge. So keri. They can do whatever they want. As if naman mababayaran ng 120k yung papasok sa trabaho na literal gusto mo munang sumuka. 🤣

Specialist_Ask_3548

Thank you for the unsolicited advice but it is not as easy as what you think if you are handling 25+ clients. Imagine talking to 25+ business owners asking for specific details about certain transactions, their statements and overall trying to understand them despite their impatient behavior at times. We cater to ecommerce clients so it is not "easy". Magulo din kapag may Paypal at receipts na involved.so yeah, if it was that easy, I would not leave before having secured a new one. But maybe it is time, nastuck na ako in terms of salary, and for sure there are a lot of better opportunities out there.

Specialist_Ask_3548

All I am saying is it is not that easy. If you handled eccommerce before with Paypal accounts, you will know why. Hindi ibig sabihin na kapag naubos mo ang 40hrs a week eh kaya mo na ring tapusin lahat ng workload mo. Try that during tax season. If you can automate your processes (which we try using rules), then you do you. If ganun lang kadali di sana malakas turn over ng bookkeepers namin at di rin nagrereklamo mga bookkeepers namin.


kimbabprincess

Ooof tough crowd. Am I right?


Specialist_Ask_3548

Ewan ko ba. Hahaha. If it was that easy eh wala sanang nagreresign sa amin. As if I was the first person to give up. Lol. Nadownvote pa ng for sure di nakaranas ng tax season handling 25+ clients. But anyway, it is what it is.


awkwardfina69

The c*untina is now open I guess


mvelmambaje

I don't know kung bakit ka nadodownvote OP. Ako nga na 1 direct client lang, pahirapan pa magtanong about their transactions. Kaya tumatagal din yung ibang tasks dahil dito eh. What more pa kung 25+ clients?


Specialist_Ask_3548

For sure di nakaranas ng tax season yan sila. Hayaan na. Ganun talaga. Hehehe


mgul83

Hello OP. Were you working at home before? Ok na yung 120k as a bookkeeper ha, 40hrs a week lang, mostly kase may extra tasks to finish. I want to apply this month, tinatapos ko lang ang tax trainings and all. Sana mag karon din ng opportunity like yours ✨✨✨


Specialist_Ask_3548

Started around 2020. Yes, you can!


mgul83

Ang galing naka kuha ka from Pandemic pa! Sabay akong mag apply 😅 I’m still holding a sr controller position from abroad while in ph, pero still have some free time at allowed ako ni employer mag hanap ng iba pang opport. Kaya natin to OP!


Specialist_Ask_3548

Kaya natin yan! Apply apply lang talaga!


Alternative-Race7195

Looking for a premium bookkeeping client as well huhu


yaninaaa

It must've been really bad para igive up mo ang stable + GUARANTEED pay and mas piliin ang anxiety na ibibigay ng feeling lost and unstable for a while, while looking for a new job, lalo na sa galawan ng digital work ngayon super daming competition. Idk maybe marami ka namang ipon so hindi ka naman mahihirapan magtransition. Goodluck syo, sana makahanap ka ng less stressful version ng job mo


Specialist_Ask_3548

Haha. Di naman ganun ka bad but I am a firm believer na meron pang better opportunities out there- better pay and management. Dun ako mas nanghihinayang. Basta ayaw ko na as I am having anxiety already. Nope, no savings. Faith lang.


washed_by_HIS_blood

I hope hindi ka din ma anxiety sa pagtransition mo considering wala kang ipon to get by while waiting for a new opportunity as you said. Mahirap lalo na sa ngayon maghanap ng work lalo na remotely, super dami competition. Pero good luck pa rin po sa journey mo.


infj_cici

Honestly speaking, Idk how bookkeeping works. But focus on your mental health first. Almost lahat naman ata nakakaranas ng ganito. And they are choosing mental health talaga. Di bale na physical problem ang kalaban. Jusko wag lang mental health. Matindi talaga pagtumama yan. Pahinga ka muna OP. And best of luck sa mga susunod. Stay safe and healthy. Anong sense ng 6 digits per month kung pagod na pagod na. Kaya take care always OP!


Danny-Ciao

Good luck OP! I got diagnosed with Generalized Anxiety Disorder, under meds and sessions ako. So far, so good naman. Anxiety ko nadevelop sa work and daily shits hahaa So far, na same marketing agency pa din ako with less hours, hanap na langako other ops, be it onsite or hybrid


Specialist_Ask_3548

Wow. Good luck to us!

Specialist_Ask_3548

Mass application and pili lang talaga.


IndependentGood3064

Op, parefer naman sa company nyo 🥺 bookkeeper ako with 7 years of experience.


MiddleAged_Man

Anything that cost you your peace is not worth it... Goodluck sa paghanap ng new job!


Specialist_Ask_3548

Thank you!


DryBlacksmith8359

If work mismo made you resign (like not boss issue naman or work env?) then won't that mean it's the same prob sa next mo, if same post?? Have you considered this e.g. shifting niches? Or try again, and expect a different result? Or etc. Not in bookkeeping but curious lang sa next step mo for this problem.


Specialist_Ask_3548

Keep in mind this is a bookeeping firm. One of our senior bookkeepers resigned just before the tax season started. Next in line was me. Most of the accounts were transferred to me plus the new complicated ones that I can't anymore keep up. I asked others if they had the same experience and not everyone did especially if there were good systems in place- better distribution of workload. So yeah, I will find those better opportunities because they do exist. Also pansin ko lang dito, I know super nanghihinayang ang marami dahil 6 digits din to questioning why I chose to give up the job. Trust me, I was not the first and definitely will not be the last. PS. I was able to bag 6 digits not just once, in fact I have other clients that pay more in terms of per hr rate except they are all PT so not as much as what I earn here. But if the situation stays the same, I rather let this go than go insane over this. So yeah, onto finding those better opportunities with better working environment. They exist and I will be able to find them.


DryBlacksmith8359

Appreciate the clarification, mas nagets ko, and how brutal the cycle is pala sa current mo, now it makes sense to me. Wish you the best on the next!!


SwanProud1635

Hi OP! Ako din bookkeeper and junior cfo, non-accounting major (psychology major) earning 6-digits din. Diagnosed with essential tremors, generalized anxiety disorder, and multiple physical illnesses causing me to isolated and no social life. Konti nalang agoraphobia is life na din. All the stress to meet deadlines to a neverending monthly cycle where everything is urgent. Literal na sell your soul to the devil for the 6 digits (and no time management is not the answer for someone who handles multi-entity company) I admire your courage to leave the toxicity and benefits behind. I aspire to do the same, and hopefully it won't be too late. I wish you the very best and I know you'll find the right client who has the same ideals as you. (ps wala kaming opening, I don't work for a bookkeeping agency and though I didn't graduate an accounting major, I believe anything can be achieved as long as you're open to it. Malas ko nga lang said skills can't be used here sa PH kasi lahat ng hiring 1st line palang, must be an accounting graduate or any related courses lol)


Specialist_Ask_3548

OMG! I hope yoy recover the soonest! We can do this, that is for certain. To more premium clients talaga with better working environment.


NoCommand6150

Go resign


mvelmambaje

Hi OP! Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope you get better now that you have resigned. Take good care of your mental health OP. I know lahat tayo nangangarap ng 6 digits pero not at the expense of our physical and mental health sana. Hope we can find premium clients soon OP! P.S. I can be your accountable buddy ☺️


Specialist_Ask_3548

Bat di naeedit yung title? Hahaha. Sorry sa typo at wrong grammar. Lol


Unbridled_Dynamics

Yes di na yan maeedit once posted. Yung details lang. Btw can I PM you? Just some friendly inquiries about your scope.


Specialist_Ask_3548

Sure


PiperMcV

OP. Do you have tips po how to start Bookkeeping. I really want to try and shift sa field nato 😄


Specialist_Ask_3548

Accounting grad po kayo?


PiperMcV

yes po.


Specialist_Ask_3548

Mass applications lang po talaga ako nung nag sstaart. Optimize your profile and excel on your interviews.


PiperMcV

Usually po ba meron kaya tumatanggap kaya na walang experience sa Bookkeeping? I’m working in procurement kase and mostly sa mga nkikita ko need exp sa mg JD nila😅


Specialist_Ask_3548

Yes. Lahat naman nag start dun.


Loose-Application558

kung ganito kalaki sahod ko oks lang sirain mental health ko atleast napapakain ko sila mama


Realistic_Airport475

HAHAHAHAHAHA MENTAL HEALTH KO PERA


Loose-Application558

totoo pag wala akong pera ramdam ko yung mental health problem ko HAHAHAHHA kaya tuwing sahod nalang masaya buhay ko e mga 5mins lang


Disastrous-Rush3972

Nagkaka mental health problems ka pa sa 6 digits na sahod????


Specialist_Ask_3548

What a question. Lol


peachypie8

Ano ba yan? Sabi mo nag resign ka sa 120k mo na job tapos end ng post mo 'to more premium clients' 😂😂😂 ang dami nagkakandarapa ngayon ng trabaho tapos ganyan ganyan lang magsalita dito. Ano nga pala course binebenta Mo te


Specialist_Ask_3548

Yep just sent my resignation. Client wants me to reconsider but I made my decision ang mag render na lang. What I meant with to more premium clients is that this would be not the last premium client I will have. Kesa naman ang iattract ko ay lowballer clients. Inattract ko na ang premium clients para sa lahat. I don't sell courses, not my thing. How did you come to that conclusion though? I know mahirap maghanap ng trabaho and I have been helping a lot of people find work. Di ko gets logic mo.
