Jairus Mark Lim – Accountant
I am Jairus Mark Lim – a CPA from the Philippines. I never imagined passing the board exam for CPA here in the Philippines. During my time, the passing rate was already below 30%! The fear of not passing was real during examination and it added too much pressure on me. But still, I managed to pass the board exam and I consider this as one of my very important accomplishments in life.
When I passed the licensure exam, I immediately went to Manila to work, away from my family for almost 3 years. I experienced living alone for the first time. Being alone was not a problem for me, but it made my mother sad. I felt her loneliness whenever we talk over the phone every night before we go to bed. It came to a point that I could no longer bear what she’s feeling and decided to go home and work in Leyte, my hometown.
I was able to find a high paying accounting job but the feeling that I have experienced, working away from my family and thinking about the future, especially now that I am planning to settle down and get married, made me decide to look for work-from-home opportunities. Sadly, most WFH jobs require at least a year of US/AU accounting experience in which I lack.
I found Virtual Assistant Team for AU and I plan to enhance my career with this company. I am an experienced QuickBooks desktop and SAP accounting software user. As someone who is technologically inclined person, I am confident that I can immediately learn any accounting system in less than a month.
I am also confident with my accounting skills, specially General Accounting and Cost Accounting. I may have lesser experience in Taxation but I can easily learn and study those if needed.
As a General Accountant, below are the major experience I gained:
- Bank Reconciliation
- Accounts Receivable Monitoring
- Accounts Payable Monitoring
- Inventory
- Invoicing
- Journal
- Financial Reporting
I am diligent, honest, focused at work, and a good team player. I believe that I will be a valuable asset to your company.
Looking forward to be working with you soon!
