Requirements

What you’ll need

At least 5 years of total relevant experience, including 2 years of experience as an engagement in-charge, team lead, or direct supervisor.
Strong working knowledge of Philippine Financial Reporting Standards (PFRS, including PFRS for SMEs), BIR regulations, and current issuances (RRs, RMOs, RMCs).
Must come from a Tax and Accounting firm (not private companies)
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.
