Finance Accounting Manager, CPA

THE 360 COMPANIES INC.

Location: Cebu City, Philippines — Full onsite

Schedule: US Pacific (PST) business hours

Employment type: Full-time

We are looking for a hands-on Finance & Accounting Manager to lead our Philippine accounting team while remaining an active individual contributor. This is a dual role: you will manage and develop the team, own process and controls, and personally execute core accounting, payroll, compliance, and reporting work. You will also serve as a redundancy layer across the team — capable of stepping into the duties of the Accounts Payable Specialist and other accounting roles to keep operations uninterrupted.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in a lean environment, is fluent in Philippine statutory compliance, and is comfortable supporting US-based finance functions during US Pacific hours.

Qualifications

Required:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• CPA strongly preferred.
• 3+ years of progressive accounting/finance experience, with at least 2–3 years in a leadership or supervisory or managerial capacity.
• Deep, current knowledge of Philippine statutory compliance (BIR, SEC, SSS, Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth, DOLE, LGU; BOI a plus).
• Proven experience managing PH payroll and benefits.
• Strong command of the full accounting cycle, month-end close, budgeting, and forecasting.
• Willingness and ability to work full onsite on US Pacific hours.

Preferred:

• Experience supporting a US-based or multinational company.
• Familiarity with US accounting tasks and GAAP concepts.
• Experience building SOPs and improving finance processes in a growing organization.
• Proficiency with accounting/ERP systems and advanced spreadsheet skills.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting & Financial Reporting

• Own and execute the month-end close process end to end, including journal entries, reconciliations, and reporting deliverables.
• Prepare and maintain forecasts and rolling projections.
• Build, manage, and monitor annual and departmental budgets; analyze variances and report on performance.
• Maintain accurate books and ensure financial records comply with applicable standards.

Payroll & Employee Benefits (PH)

• Manage end-to-end Philippine payroll, including computation, disbursement, and statutory deductions.
• Administer PH employee benefits, including mandatory contributions and company benefit programs.
• Ensure timely and accurate filing and remittance of all payroll-related statutory obligations.

Philippine Compliance & Government Statutory Filings

• Ensure full compliance across all relevant government and statutory bodies, including but not limited to:

BIR (tax filings, withholding, returns)

LGU (business permits, local taxes)

SEC (corporate filings and reportorial requirements)

BOI (incentive and reporting obligations, where applicable)

SSS, Pag-IBIG, PhilHealth (registration, contributions, remittances)

DOLE (labor standards and reporting compliance)

• Monitor regulatory changes and maintain the company's compliance calendar.
• Coordinate with external auditors, regulators, and government agencies as needed.

US Finance Support

• Support US-based finance tasks and reporting requirements during US Pacific hours.
• Coordinate with the US finance team on intercompany, reconciliations, and reporting deliverables.

Operational Redundancy & Cross-Coverage

• Provide backup coverage for Accounts Payable, including invoice processing, vendor management, and payment runs.
• Serve as redundancy across accounting roles, able to step into team members' core duties to ensure continuity.
• Support Accounts Receivable functions as a backup, including invoicing, collections, and reconciliations.

Team Leadership & Process

• Lead, mentor, and develop the accounting team.
• Create, document, and maintain Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for finance, payroll, compliance, and admin functions.
• Identify and implement process improvements, controls, and efficiencies.
• Balance managerial oversight with hands-on individual contribution.

BENEFITS:

• Salary Range: Php65,000 - Php75,000 per month
• Monthly Perfect Attendance Bonus of Php2,000
• Complete Government Contributions
• Fun, Friendly, and Non-toxic Environment
• Free Coffee every day!
• HMO and Life Insurance on day 1
• Paid Time Off
• Annual Appraisal (Based on Performance)
• 5 Day Work Week

What Success Looks Like

• A clean, on-time month-end close every period.
• 100% compliance with all PH government and statutory requirements — zero penalties, with all filings and reports submitted on time.
• Documented SOPs that make the finance function resilient and not dependent on any single person.
• A capable, well-supported accounting team — with you able to cover any seat when needed.
