Audit & Internal Controls

  • Lead the coordination of annual external audits, working closely with auditing firms to ensure timely completion and clean opinions.
  • Develop, implement, and monitor robust internal control policies to safeguard company assets and mitigate financial risks.
  • Conduct periodic internal reviews to ensure adherence to company policies and local regulations.

Requirements:

  • Must speak fluent Tagalog and English.

  • 8+ years of progressive finance experience, with at least 3 years in a Managerial/Controller role.
