Pinoy CPA aspiring to work sa SG

pawww000

Hi everyone. I'm a Licensed Accountant with almost three years of experience in External Audit, Accounting Services at Govt Accounting.

Ano po status ngayon sa SG regarding sa pag hihire ng expat galing acctg/finance sector? Someone told me kasi na naging mahigpit na daw ang SG regarding dyan.

And, nagmamatter po ba talaga CMA/ACCA if naghahanap ka ng work regarding accounting?

Thanks po

ung acca recognized dito. not sure cma. cpa sa pinas, hindi rin recognized dito, although edge mo siguro yan during application, pero di rin ganun kalaki difference ke cpa or hindi, kasi hindi naman nila nirerecognize. tas ang job scope mo ay mostly entry level gaya ng book keeping. mga job postings ay accounts assistant/accts clerk/accts executive. Importante ang experience.

Thank you Maya sa pag comment. How about po hiring-wise? Indemand pa rin ba ang accounting profession sa SG?

di ko sure kasi kung in demand mostly kasi ata pang local ung work na yan dito. pero try mo na lang din wala naman mawawala pag sumubok

I would say hindi siya in demand at locals tlg priority. pero lahat naman ng company may finance/acctg dept, so mrami din chances. usually option lang ang foreigner pag sobrang hirap ng job at walang local na makatagal. haha pero yun nga, youll never know if di mo tatry.

subok ka @pawww000 . Pinsan ko, CPA sya at nakakuha nman ng Accountant job dito. Stressful kasi daw ang accounting job, kaya mga locals hnd tumatagal. lol. Lalo na sa mga audit audit. Pinsan ko, almusal daw pressure, hapunan is deadline. hehe. Built naman tayong mga Pinoy sa mga mahihirap na work.

Hi po sir @RDG , May quota or hiring pa po ba yung company ng pinsan mo?? haha. pwede pa refer?

Mostly Accounting and Audit yung background ko with a year in government accounting. Nag se-send na ako ng mga applications online, (linkedin, jobstreet,indeed,glassdoor) pero so far rejection letters lang ang natangap ko detrimental din siguro ang fact na sa Aug 6 pa dadating ang SG sim ko so I've been using a PH number in all of my CV applications. Plan ko mag SG this month. There's also the fact that mostly locals ang prina-prioritize ng mga companies as compared to local talents.

@pawww000 , so far wala pa, kasi andun pa pinsan ko. hehe. isa lang kasi need sa firm nila kasi local company, so medyo maliit lang. I would say try applying na andito ka or with an sg number, bias kasi sila pag nakita na nsa overseas ka, and mostly gusto nila andito na sa sg pag magha-hire.

@pawww000 use linkedin at strait time newspaper(may app sa ios download mo lng tpos every 12noon free maviview ung newspaper for the day). Mejo mahirap talaga ngaun pero tiyagaan lng.

jobstreet ka magpasa ng resume.. dont go into agency i advise you.

need k maging flexible kasi accountants dito is lhat ginagawa..
depends on the company size.

kapag maliit lang, ikaw lahat gagawa..payroll,individual tax,corporate tax, gst filling,cpf sdl , lahat..
mostly priority nga is locals kasi alam na nila un gagawin pero depende un sayo pano mo isell ang self mo..
