Anyone here working as an LTOO II or in an LGU Treasury Office?

What’s the actual day-to-day work like? I want the honest version, not just the job description 😅

Is it mostly paperwork? dealing with people? collections? accounting? reports? cash handling?
What’s the hardest part of the job?
And is it a good long-term government career?

Would appreciate real experiences from people in provincial/city/municipal treasury offices. Thanks!

Hi everyone, fresh grad here and currently reviewing for the boards. I just want to ask for advice because I’m really torn on which path to take for my first job.

I’m choosing between: • Audit (Audit Associate)
• Accounting roles (AP/AR / Junior Accountant)

To be honest, I wasn’t really strong in auditing back in college, which makes me hesitant. But I keep hearing that audit has better long-term growth, especially if I want bigger opportunities in the future.

On the other hand, accounting roles like AP/AR offer slightly higher starting salaries, and I feel like the work might be more manageable for me as a beginner.

For context: • Not a breadwinner
• Not paying rent (so I’m not under heavy financial pressure)
• Fresh grad, no experience yet
• Currently reviewing for the CPA boards

I’m really thinking about both growth and practicality. I don’t want to regret choosing something just because of short-term comfort or salary.

For those who’ve been in either path:

• Is audit really worth it despite the lower starting pay and heavier workload?
• Will starting in AP/AR limit my career growth later on?
• What would you choose if you were in my position?

Would really appreciate honest advice 🙏
