Pansin ko lang sa industry ngayon, yung mga hasa at magagaling sa analysis at technical ng accounting yung mga naiiwan sa mid or lower management tapos yung mabibilis mapromote kahit di gaano mahusay (like hindi sila ganon ka-accurate at detail-oriented sa work) dahil good at English o magaling sila sa comms, sila yung mas pinopromote.

I thought sa BPO lang sya nangyayari but kahit sa local ganon na rin pala.

Building a better working world for their clients only. If may mga discrepancy or internal control deficiencies na makita sa client, they will be willing to ignore that for the sake of taking care of them and keeping them. FS will be released regardless. Ang kakausapin ng kliyente eh yung partner without the involvement of the seniors and staffs who are auditing them. Then magugulat na lang kami na resolved na yun without knowing how. “Executive discussion” daw. Pero pag dating sa mga empleyado, they just don’t give a shit. From giving an unrealistic workloads to their staffs and seniors, to depriving them of benefits. OT pays are strictly monitored pero never nagkaroon ng assessment if yung workload assigned to a staff are appropriate to be finished without rendering an OT. The fact that our base pay is way too low in this kind of economy, they are really shameless talaga. My co-seniors and staffs have already resigned due to this bullshit environment, and it has been 2-3 months already since their effectivity of resignation, and until now, wala pa ring final pay yung iba sa kanila?!? One of the service that they offer to their clients is compliance, but they can’t even comply to basic labor laws. From unpaid OTs to late payment of final pay, I wonder how these audfirms can sleep at night. After spending 4 years of my life with this firm, this is my last straw. I also won’t be surprised if this incoming salary increase is going to be worth 3 bags of chips.

What happens when the function that is supposed to protect the employee experience becomes one of the reasons people stop trusting the organization? Yes, that is the ER team of this f*cking organization led by J*FF M*N*W*T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Totoo ba? Wala na ba talagang iba pa???????????????

I heard from sources DOLE cases are mounting high because of the practices of this TEAM. They will carelessly handle the cases as if the concerns are their playground LIKE YOU'RE A F*CKING FBI TEAM WITH CLOWN HEADS. I really wonder why this is not being looked at. Shows to prove employees are just mere robots in this organization. They don't f*cking listen and they don't f*cking CARE! You come to work at your early morning shift, receive an NTE you know nothing about, how do you expect us to work productively with this kind of approach?????????? Investigations are done without thought, how can you trust them to protect? HOW? PWC AC MANILA mancomm, why are you NOOOTTTTT LOOKING INTO YOUR IMBECILE EMPLOYEE RELATIONS TEAM????

Nabalitaan nyo? Ang lala ng binaba ng range ng offer. Lugi ba? Sana di tanggapin ng mga applicants para alam nilang kupal sila sa part na super binaba nila salary to think na inflation ngayon.

Hi everyone! I recently graduated and received job offers from two Big 4 firms:

PwC Consulting Services: AML/KYC Analyst KPMG: Corporate Tax Associate

I'm torn on which one to accept and would really appreciate your insights, especially from those who have worked in either field. 🙏

Hi guys! BS Management Accounting fresh grad here facing a crossroads. Need honest insights, especially from those in finance, audit, or WFH/freelance setups.

My main goal for the next 2–3 years is to build a solid CV that will help me land a permanent Work From Home (WFH) setup (ideally working for foreign clients/offshore companies). Down the line (around 5 years from now), plan ko rin mag-bridging program for BSA and take the CPALE, pero priority ko muna ngayon mapaganda ang career trajectory ko.

Here are my two options:

Option A: Big 4 Shared Services

Role: AML / KYC Analyst

Pros: Big 4 name sa resume, higher base pay offer, tapos may friends din akong papasok doon.

Cons: Medyo malayo sa Management Accounting degree ko. Sobrang niche ba ng AML/KYC? Baka mahirapan ako mag-transition pabalik sa general accounting/bookkeeping or audit kung gustuhin ko man later on?

Option B: The Huge Local Fast Food Conglomerate

Role: Accountant (Employee Expenses)

Pros: Direct, hands-on general accounting experience — handling expense verification, cash advances, liquidations, GL entries, and audit compliance. Hybrid set-up din and solid benefits.

Cons: Mas mababa ang salary offer compared to Option A. Plus, I’ll be living away from my family for the first time without my friends around, so medyo nakakatakot mag-solo shift.

Questions:

1. In terms of marketability for future WFH / remote jobs (especially for US/AU offshore firms), alin ang mas in demand: Big 4 AML/KYC Compliance or Core Corporate Expense/GL Accounting?

2. Bumabawi ba talaga ang Big 4 brand name kahit hindi core accounting yung role?

3. Mahirap ba mag-shift pabalik sa traditional accounting / external audit if AML/KYC ang naging first job ko?

Pasensya na sa mahabang post. Any thoughts, advice, or career experiences are super appreciated. Thank you!
