Finance Manager

About the role

This role protects the Group's external record. Every audited financial statement, tax return, and regulatory submission must be accurate, on time, and fully supported. Nothing goes out late, and nothing goes out that cannot be defended. You will own the general ledger, the statutory financial statements, and all tax and regulatory reporting across the Group. Everything the Group files externally comes through this desk. You will report to the Controller / Deputy CFO, lead a team of about five qualified accountants, and work across 8 to 10 legal entities, with regulators including BIR, SEC, Insurance Commission, and sector agencies.

Key responsibilities

• Own the general ledger across all entities. Keep it clean, current, and reconciled.
• Run the monthly, quarterly, and annual close on a hard, published timetable.

• Prepare the statutory financial statements and notes for every entity, on PFRS or PFRS for SMEs as applicable.
• Act as the primary counterpart to the external auditors. Run the audit timetable and the PBC list.
• Own the compliance calendar for every entity. Nothing filed late, nothing filed unsupported.
