Job Description
(Draft)
• Ensure accurate record-keeping and compliance with BIR regulations across all client accounts.
• Implement and maintain a sound accounting system to efficiently monitor client accounts and streamline accounting processes.
• Maintain updated compliance tools, including checklists, templates, and engagement letters.
• Prepare client reports and documentation, proactively addressing compliance issues and providing regular updates on engagement progress. Qualifications
• Certified Public Accountant (CPA) preferred; unlicensed candidates with at least 3 years of practical accounting and tax experience will be considered if a suitably experienced CPA is not available.
• At least 3 years of relevant experience, including experience as an engagement in-charge, team lead, or direct supervisor.
• Meaningful experience (2+ years) in a Big 4 accounting firm (SGV & Co., KPMG R.
G. Manabat & Co., Isla Lipana & Co./PwC, Deloitte) or another large, reputable audit and advisory firm. Candidates from a Tax practice background are strongly preferred over Audit-only experience, given this role's heavy BIR-facing scope. Senior-level candidates, not yet at Manager level, are welcome to apply.
• Strong working knowledge of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS, including PFRS for SMEs), BIR regulations, and current issuances (RRs, RMOs, RMCs).
• Direct experience handling BIR audits, LOAs, or tax assessments is a strong advantage.
• Some experience leading, coaching, or reviewing the work of junior staff, whether as a direct supervisor or as an engagement in-charge. Candidates without formal direct-report experience are welcome; this will be actively supported during the ramp-up period.
• Strong written communication skills, with the ability to draft technical memos, protest letters, and client-facing advisory notes.
• Comfortable representing clients in direct, sometimes adversarial, discussions with BIR examiners and revenue officers.
• Adaptable to an SME environment. HMB is a 15-person firm, not a Big 4 practice: there is no bench of associates to delegate to and no dedicated learning and development function, and the Supervisor will do hands-on work personally, not only review it. Code DRMI-00398
