Senior Finance Manager

Work Setup: Onsite (Muntinlupa)

Schedule: Dayshift

Key Responsibilities:

Post-Merger Integration & Financial Control

• Accrual Transition: Lead the immediate transition from legacy cash-based accounting to full accrual accounting, specifically implementing the Service Completion Method (PFRS 15) for revenue recognition.
• Systems Overhaul: Upgrade and recast the current Management Information Systems (MIS) to align with institutional reporting standards.
• Working Capital & Cash Management: Establish rigorous corporate controls over bank mandates, treasury, and working capital, ensuring zero leakage and optimized cash flow.
• Earnout Management: Meticulously track and report on "Adjusted EBITDA" and forensic add-backs to ensure the SSPA (Share Sale and Purchase Agreement) earnout mechanics are executed flawlessly.

Regulatory Compliance & Tax Strategy

• Cross-Border Tax & Transfer Pricing: Oversee withholding tax provisions (FWT/VAT) for foreign vendor payments and ensure compliance with arm’s-length Transfer Pricing (TP) agreements between New Business Unit and current organization's US/UAE entities.
• Audit & Statutory Leadership: Serve as the primary liaison for our newly appointed "Big Four" external auditors, the SEC, and the BIR, ensuring historical and future tax clearances are bullet proof.

Commercial Finance & Business Development

• Start-Up Mentality: Act as the commercial co-pilot to the business head. Bring a "ro l-up-your-sleeves" energy to identify revenue synergies, optimize pricing strategies, and model new market launches.
• Margin Optimization: Develop dashboards to track unit economics, operational expenditure (OpEx) caps, and marketing ROI.
• Growth Modeling: Support the launch of cross-selling initiatives (e.g., NCLEX prep, TrueProfile.io) by building agile, data-driven financial models to test new business lines.

Qualifications:

Non-Negotiables:

• Education/Certification: Active Certified Public Accountant (CPA) in the Philippines.
• Experience: At least 5 to 6 years of progressive finance experience. Must have a strong foundation in audit or corporate finance (Big Four experience is highly preferred).
• Technical Chops: Deep, practical expertise in PFRS 15 (Revenue from Contracts with Customers) and cross-border tax compliance.

The Differentiators:

• The "Clean-Up" Experience: You have previously stepped into a founder-led, SME, or loosely structured environment and successfully implemented enterprise-grade ERPs, controls, and compliance frameworks.

• M&A Exposure: Previous experience in post-merger integration (PMI), earnout tracking, or managing the financial transition of an acquired entity.
• Communication: Exceptional ability to translate complex local compliance issues (SEC, BIR, PEZA) to global stakeholders (Dubai headquarters).
