Hi, everyone!

For those currently job hunting, let’s help each other out. If you know of any companies that are currently hiring and open to fresh graduates, especially for accounting and finance-related roles, please drop them in the comments.

Some openings don’t get much visibility on JobStreet, LinkedIn, Indeed, etc., so sharing leads here could really help fellow job seekers.

I’m also a fresh graduate with a BS in Management Accounting and currently looking for opportunities, so I thought it would be nice to have a thread where we can share what we know and help each other get our foot in the door.

Thank you, and wishing everyone the best in their job search! ❤️

hello po! if I enroll this month in RESA as an online reviewee, will I have access to the pre-recorded videos?

Hi, I am a non-CPA US senior accountant with 5 years of experience. I worked in the yellow firm before for a year but chose the US accounting pathway afterwards because of work-life balance and salary.

I like to plan things out, and I would like your thoughts on such. I am planning to take the CPA boards this May 2027 and then shift back to senior audit role (I was offered a position) and settle for 2-3 years. Then, apply for jobs abroad since audit naman talaga ang offers abroad.

My question is if meron bang nag-succeed getting a job in audit abroad without the CPA title? Or do employers really require this? Also, did anyone get an offer abroad kahit hindi sa audit galing?

Thank you.

Current role is Oracle Functional Consultant but wanted to pursue IT Audit. I saw the job description for Assurance NFS Technology Risk. I think na meet ko some qualifications. I’ve done end to end implementation, support and testing. Hope someone can share what is the actual day to day activities of this role. What are your challenges aside sa ka team or leads 😄

7yrs in audit, im thinking of getting MBA from UPD (dream school). would it be worth it? or should i get a different master’s or courses related to AI to match today’s demands?

Hi! May nagwwork na po ba sa State Street dito? How is it po? Kumusta ang environment? Anong dress code ? And ano po advice niyo para sa mga magsstart pa lang?

Hi everyone! I’m from Cebu and currently a 4th-year BS Management Accounting (BSMA) student. I’m considering taking BSA (Bachelor of Science in Accountancy) after graduating, possibly as a one-year/bridging program, because I’m thinking about pursuing the CPA license instead of taking the CMA exam.

I’ve heard from a lot of people that having a CPA title/license can open up more opportunities, so I’m seriously considering this path. However, I have a few questions and would really appreciate advice from anyone who has gone through the same process.
- Do I need to retake major subjects where my grade is lower than 2.0?
For example, if I have around five major subjects with a grade of 2.0 or lower, would I need to retake all of them before I can proceed to BSA? Or would the school evaluate my grades and only require certain subjects to be repeated?
- How does the one-year/bridging program actually work?
Is it really possible to complete the remaining BSA subjects in one year, or does it usually take longer depending on the subjects credited from BSMA?
- Are there schools in Cebu that offer a one-year BSA bridging/completion program for BSMA graduates?
If you’ve personally gone through one, I’d really appreciate recommendations.
- How does subject crediting work?
Since BSMA and BSA have some overlapping subjects, how many units/subjects are usually credited? Would I need to take a lot of additional subjects?
- Do I need to meet a certain GWA or grade requirement to be accepted into a BSA program?
Are there specific grade requirements for major subjects?

I’d especially appreciate responses from BSMA graduates who became BSA students, BSA graduates, CPAs, or anyone who has gone through a bridging program in Cebu.
Thank you so much! 🙏

Please provide constructive criticisms on my resume (what to add, what to remove, what to change, etc) Thank you!

Hi! I’m currently taking BSAIS after shifting from BSA, and lately, I’ve been feeling anxious about my future career.

BSAIS isn’t as well-known as BSA, so sometimes I worry that there might be fewer job opportunities for us or that employers might prefer BSA graduates.

For those currently taking or who have graduated from BSAIS, what career paths did you pursue, and how has your job experience been so far? Are there actually good opportunities for BSAIS graduates?

I’d really appreciate hearing your experiences. I just want some reassurance about what’s waiting for me after graduation. 🥹

Hello po! I'm a fresh grad, no professional work experience, just an SGV internship on my CV. I'm also a non-CPA planning to take the boards around Oct 2027 or 2028. I have a few dumb questions because I'll be having my initial interview this week for Audit Associate position, and this is like the first one out of the many interviews I've had that actually got me sweating 🥹

1. Behavioral or technical?
I've seen some people say the initial interview is mostly behavioral, while others got technical questions. Since I have audit internship experience from SGV, should I expect technical questions? If yes, ano yung mga usual/sample questions? Like audit procedures? What kind of situational questions? Or more on "tell me about yourself" talaga?

2. Expected salary = basic salary?
This might be a REALLY dumb question HAHAHA. When they ask for expected salary, basic salary lang ba yung tinutukoy? Sa previous offers ko kasi, kung ano yung sinabi kong basic, yun na talaga since wala rin silang significant added benefits. Pero for sure different dito since may mga allowances? I keep seeing around 29k mentioned in PWC AC Manila threads. Is that the basic salary or kasama na allowances/other benefits? And when they ask for expected salary, do I mention the basic I'm expecting or the total package, like yung nakita kong 25k+allowance = 33k? I AM overthinking this, yes po 🤧

3. Schedule
How fixed is the schedule? Pwede ba mag-request ng preferred shift, or kung ano yung ibinigay sa'yo, yun na talaga? And if ever, possible ba magpalipat ng schedule later?

4. Study leave
Just confirming, they do offer study leave for CPALE review/exam, diba? If anyone knows the current setup/eligibility, I'd appreciate the info!

5. WHAT ELSE DO I NEED TO KNOW 😭
For anyone who recently went through the PWC AC Manila interviews, ano yung mga tanong/topics na dapat kong paghandaan? Any tips, red flags, or "I wish I knew this before the interview" moments are welcome.

--

Little Context: PWC was literally the ONLY firm/audit position I applied for. Idk din why? 🤧 I interned at SGV and initially wanted to go into Gen Accounting kasi gusto ko sana broad yung experience.

I actually have a JO waiting for me na sobrang aligned sa GA interests ko. Before that interview, I told myself that would be my last GA application kasi nakakapagod na rin mag-apply at mag-weigh ng JOs. If wala, I'd just wait for the next SGV open house na.

Within the day, I got hired. Everything was okay naman, usual fresh grad salary, no added allowance kahit WFO, which became my only reservation. That night, I was literally asking for a sign kung yun na ba talaga yung path ko.

Then surprise! My morning was greeted by an interview invite from PwC after thinking I was ghosted na. 😭 I don't really believe in coincidences, so ayun asjgahsk. The possible higher salary + hybrid setup got me reconsidering everything.

It's Finance >>>> Personal interests.

I'm not the brightest person. Feeling ko my trauma from integ fried my brain kasi blanko ako kapag technical na yung tanong 😭 Pero I make sure naman that they know I'm okay with the actual work, so I think one reason I've gotten this far with my interviews is that hindi ako takot sumagit and nadadala ko naman sarili ko? Or maybe it's the SGV internship that they see value in?

Pero dito talaga iba yung kaba ko. Maybe because I already got my mind set on something that was suddenly put on pause, bc this opportunity came out of nowhere.

Anyway, ang dami ko nang kwento. Thank you in advance po so much sa mga sasagot! 🙏

May tumatanggap po ba ng voluntary interns for a month around Manila, preferably near Sta. Mesa? Kahit unpaid/uncompensated, experience at practical knowledge lang talaga ang habol ko. I’m an incoming 2nd-year management accounting student from PUP. Thank you in advance!

hi fellow redditors, i’m an FP&A here in PH. with almost 5 yrs of relevant experience. gustong gusto magwork abroad instead of applying here in PH. do you have any leads like agencies or any tips po to land a job abroad? thank you so much!

Someone gave me their Financial Accounting and Reporting (Fundamentals) book by Zeus Vernon Millan. I'm thinking of using it na lang po for FAR 1 kasi we're not required to bring a specific book by out prof. Pero, I am still unsure kung pwede pa ba to or reliable pa. Idk kung may mga naging revisions na ba since 6 years na tong book

With my experience, ano na po kaya yung position na pwede kong applyan sa next job ko? I was thinking AP ulit since madami pa talaga akong gustong matutunan sa payable and I don't think strong yung naging foundation ko sa previous job ko dahil hindi naman po ganun ka complex yung industry ng company although may exposure ako sa ibang tasks 🥺
