As a CFO, I oversee the company’s financial landscape. Leveraging on my meaningful background in finance and taxation, I have improved the company’s financial and management reporting, implemented crucial policies on accounting, internal controls, and tax documentation, resolved tax issues that led to reduction of tax exposure, restructured the tax framework that led to increased effectiveness and efficiency of tax reporting, and conducted comprehensive corporate secretarial services. As part of my strategic initiatives, I harmonized legal documentation with operational and taxation requirements. Furthermore, by amending the articles of incorporation and bylaws, I was able to match the companies’ purposes and capital structure with their current financial statements and strategies. I have drafted various company policies, including one that was submitted in 2023 for securing a BIR Ruling on Outstation “Per Diem” Allowances. This submission aimed to secure the company’s exemption from withholding tax, expanded withholding tax, fringe benefits tax, and substantiation requirements. Also, I was able to register BRO’s Davao Project with the BOI last Aug. 11, 2023, which led to enjoying five (5) years Income Tax Holiday and seventeen (17) years VAT Exemption.

As the Managing Partner of Manaig, Manaig & Co., CPAs (MM&Co.) from June 2003 to March 2023, with nearly 20 years of experience in audit and tax practices, I successfully led and mentored auditors and tax preparers. Many of them have progressed to become senior staff, audit/tax supervisors, and managers in various reputable companies after their tenure with the firm. The firm had an average of 17 staff from 2016 to 2019, mostly CPAs. Since the COVID-19 Pandemic, the firm has reduced its practice maintaining only main clients and focusing on its core services.

I have delivered a range of services, including preparing a comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures Manual for a manufacturing company, Fraud/Special Audits for service and trading entities, implemented QuickBooks Enterprise Solutions, streamlining accounting operations for small to medium-sized companies. Moreover, I conducted Internal Control Reviews for cooperative organizations enhancing their governance structures and operational efficiency.

I have completed the preparation of Transfer Pricing Documentations for six (6) PEZA and Non-PEZA Entities covering the years 2019-2022. Additionally, I successfully managed and concluded four (4) Tax Refund Cases in the Court of Tax Appeals in my capacity as an Independent CPA.
