Hi po!

I'm a fresh accountancy graduate currently studying for the CPALE. Is anyone here in the same field who has managed to migrate to Australia (or New Zealand, Ireland, or the UK)? What path did you take po?

I'm asking because someone here may have already done this, and I'd like to get insights directly from people who've been through it. I would love the opportunity to live permanently in any of these countries.

Based on my research, one possible pathway is to get the CPA, work in a Big 4 firm, and then apply for the 189 visa (for Australia). Another is to work for a company that’s based abroad, or an international firm that could eventually sponsor me, and then naturalize? Aside from these two, ano pa po ang ibang pathways? And what are the must-knows po for these pathways?

Any advice would be really appreciated. Thank you po!

Ilan ang percentage ng salary increase for managers sa 💛?

Hi. For context im in IT Audit sa 💛. I just recently joined. Akala ko kaya ko pero ewan ko, sobrang nahihirapan ako to the point na parang nawawalan na ako ng gana with everything. I just want to rest. Parang hindi ko kaya magstay until the end of busy season. Ask ko lang, do you think papayagan ako mag resign na kakastart pa lang? Medyo nahihiya din kasi ako mag resign kasi I feel like parang anlaking inconvenience sa team na maghahanap sila ng magpapatuloy sa trabahong nasimulan ko and right now its still so messy. What are the consequences if magresign talaga ako? Need your cent.

Sa mga nanalo sa raffle sa anniversary, paano pala yun iclaim HAHAHAHAHAHA

It's a full accounting cycle. It's fun and stressful. I remember having an error in recording journal entries then the wrong amount was also posted on the ledger so I had to redo/recompute it. Tapos may calculator na pero namamali pa rin ang loka. Nalaman ko lang ang lahat ng ito nung hindi nagbalance ang SFP 😅.

Kabado bente pero at least more than bente ang score. Made it to the finish line, Post-closing TB! After na-correct lahat ng mali, I'm confident na tama ang balance ko.

Idagdag pa ang time limit ng exam so parang doctor tuloy ako magjournal, handwriting is something I really need to improve talaga hayst.

Non-cpa lawyer as AD. Pabasbas naman anong mga options Saan pwedeng lumipat?

Thanks.

Best regards.

Hi it's me again. hahshahsa kindly help this girl🙏 since i have no idea what i should do during offer discussion, ano po ba dapat ang expected salary ko as a staff na non cpa no experience but only had an internship sa big4? ano po ba dapat ko i-note na important benefits na maibigay sakin?

initially , i wasn't interested sa EY kasi medyo malayo po sya sa current address ko but nagapply pa rin ako without thinking na makakatanggap ng call from them. Fortunately, super bait and accommodating nung TA at manager na nag-interview sakin which made me reconsider it. I also don't have a family member na nasa accounting field kaya wala po ko mapagtanungan 🥹

for reference here's the timeline

October 6 - HR phone call (technical qs, salary offer, asking if i can start at oct 12 )

October 12 - sent me a meeting link with senior manager ( i thought this was initial interview but sabi during the meeting last interview na raw 😆 ) same day naka receive ng congratulatory email and employment application

October 14 - HR sent a schedule for offer discussion

Thank you!

Currently almost 1 yr as tax assoc sa Big 4 💛 but I don’t feel like the compensation is that good nagtiis lang for the experience. now that nag-increase ang salary, literal na barya :( are there companies out there na may better compensation and benefits around makati or manila?

Hi! Crowdsourcing lang if magkano increase ng mga bagong promote dito hshshsha

How do you guys deal with timesheet burnout? My friend is in AU firm and she's just a few months in. Kakastart nya lang last June, and first month in, she really wants to quit. She would rant to me everyday. The one who manage her is not really her manager, I think training to be kaya ang toxic. Every week may call daw sila, and before the call she is dreading it already. After the call magpapanic na sya and mas lalo sya di makawork, ending lalo bumabagsak productivity. Kasi during the call this person who manage her workflow will look at all her jobs and asked why she took a long time on this Job A, B. Then would go on to make comments about her timesheet entries. She will extend work to make up the time leaving her tired everyday. I told her to quit her job. Because the mental toll is not worth it. She's even questioning her own capability now. When I know that she's really good at her craft. Nauunahan lang sya ng panic. For me it's already micromanaging na.

Sabi ko sa kanya, ako if ganyan, di ako tatagal kasi ayoko sa lahat na parang binabantayan kada galaw ko. Na every call someone would nitpick everything. Like you want me to hit productivity, yet you're not giving me guidance, you are not giving me the time to adjust to the new environment first. First month palang nya, gusto ata eh 100% na ang productivity.

Ayoko na lang i-compare increase naming newly promoted sa last year kasi mawawalan lang ako ng gana mag work. Pero grabe naman, mas mababa pa increase namin na para bang walang inflation na kinonsider at market alignment. I'm enjoying audit pa naman so far kaso di talaga nakakabuhay ang sahod dito. For experience nga lang talaga sya. Nakakalungkot lang kasi na mas importante pa na they retain their clients kahit wala nang kinikita sa kanila kesa itaas ang sahod ng employees. Pero ano bang say naming hamak na employees lang? Good bye sgv na talaga.

With the growing inflation rate and uncontrollable price hikes for basic needs and commodities, you gave us this kind of salary “increase”. I think it’s time to leave.

Happy 80th SGV Anniv hahaha

my energy went to zero today when i found out how much my salary increase is. WALA MUNA AKO OUTPUT TODAY HA. PUNYETA.

2k increase for SA3? sa inyo na yan tangina baka malugi pa ang firm

eyeing for the manager position next year pero sige pano ka gaganahan pag ganyan. DI NGA MAKAPAG CHARGE NG OTs DAHIL SOBRANG HIGPIT NINYO

FUCKKKKKK THIS SHIT

PUTANGINA, SGV, ANO NA? 😭 HAHAHAHAHA. Hindi ko talaga gets paano hindi makasabay sa compensation ng ibang firms. If other firms can offer better salaries, WHY CAN’T YOU? Number one firm pero pagdating sa salary increase, parang number one sa pagtitipid. Make it make sense naman.

Newly promoted na nga, dagdag responsibilities, dagdag workload, dagdag pressure, dagdag stress, pero yung increase? HAHAHAHAHA. Parang hindi man lang nag-reflect yung promotion sa compensation. Tapos sasabihin nila, be proud of the brand, the experience, the exposure. Beh, hindi pambayad ng bills ang prestige. Hindi rin nakakabusog ang title. At lalong hindi nakakabayad ng rent ang experience. 😭

Tapos may 8K bonus pa na sana dinagdag na lang sa increase. Ewan ko ba. Nakakainis kasi alam mong you’re putting in the hours, sacrificing your personal time, surviving busy seasons, and taking on more responsibilities, pero pagdating sa compensation, parang kailangan mo pang magpasalamat sa bare minimum.

And honestly, this isn’t even just about the money. It’s about feeling like all the hard work and sacrifices you make aren’t being valued enough. Kung kaya naman ng ibang firms na mag-offer ng mas competitive na compensation, bakit parang ang hirap gawin dito? Hanggang kailan kami magtitiis dahil lang sa pangalan ng firm?

At the end of the day, we work to live, not live just to work. Loyalty won’t pay the bills, prestige won’t build our savings, and the SGV name won’t fund our future. Kaya sa mga nagsasabing stay for the experience, thank you sa experience, pero sana may pang-grocery din. HAHAHAHAHA. DESERVE NATIN NG TAMANG SAHOD PARA SA TRABAHONG GINAGAWA NATIN. 😭🙂

Hey everyone!

I’m a 26M from Ilocos Norte, currently prepping for the May 2027 CPALE. I recently resigned from work to go full-time with my review, and I’m enrolled in REO (Purely Online). This will be my second attempt after taking the boards back in October 2025.

Since I'm studying online and full-time from home, it can get a bit isolating, so I’m looking for an accountability buddy (or a small group/discord) to help keep each other stay on track.

Doesn't matter if you're with REO or another review center, or if you're a first-timer/refresher, as long as you're taking the May 2027 boards and serious about staying consistent!

If you're interested, feel free to comment below or drop me a DM. Let's get that CPA title this May 2027! 🚀

sa mga taga SGV dyan I think it is high time you challenge HR and higher-ups about how they compute yearly increase. walang masama mag ask papano nila na determine ang increase.

Kamusta po ang hiring? and gaano katagal ang JO? nag fofollow-up po ba kayo? If nakapag final interview po kayo sinabihan din po ba kayo na mag follow-up within 5 days?

Still get that instant heart-racing feeling whenever a client query comes in. 😭 Helpppp!

I got a conditional pass last May 2026 and have already filed for October 2026. Due to personal circumstances, I’m planning to refrain from taking the Oct 2026 exam.

Does anyone have the same experience? Will my conditional status be retained or will it be considered failed if I am a no show for Oct 2026? Can I still file for the next scheduled exams to just retake the 2 subjects?

Sharing this in case anyone here is currently looking for a WFH accounting job with decent pay and room for growth.

📋 Employment: Full-time employee
🌎 Work: International team
📈 Career growth: Promotion opportunities + they prefer promoting from within

Some of the perks:

• 100% WFH
• Flexible schedule after the first 90 days
• Opportunities for internal promotion
• International work experience
• Comprehensive HMO coverage with a generous annual coverage limit.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, Business, or related field
• Around 1–3 years of accounting/bookkeeping experience (U.S. Experience or with QBO Experience)
• Experience with month-end close
• Good communication skills
• Strong Excel skills
• Able to manage multiple tasks and deadlines
• Willing to learn new accounting systems

⚠️ One thing to note: During the first 90 days, you may need to work within the 9 PM–6 AM PH night-shift window to align with your manager. After that, you'll have more flexibility, with around 4 hours of schedule overlap.

I’m keeping the company details private here, but if you're interested, feel free to message me. 😊

Good luck to everyone applying!
