Erwin D.

I am a Senior Accountant with over 10 years of progressive experience in full-cycle accounting, financial reporting, treasury, tax compliance, AP/AR, reconciliations, and month-end closing. My experience spans the Philippines and UAE, providing me with strong international accounting exposure and the ability to adapt quickly to different regulatory and business environments. I have managed multiple entities, handled multi-currency transactions, prepared audit-ready financial statements, worked with banks and auditors, and supervised accounting teams. I am proficient in QuickBooks, Sage, Zoho Books, Odoo, and Advanced Excel, with experience in IFRS, UAE VAT/Corporate Tax, and US tax compliance. I am highly self-motivated, detail-oriented, reliable, and comfortable working independently—qualities essential for remote work.
