Job description

About Philcare Pharma

Philcare Pharma, Inc. is a Filipino-owned specialty pharmaceutical and medical device distributor based in Pasig City, serving close to 300 hospital accounts across the Philippines. As we continue to professionalize our finance function through a documented control framework and a new cloud ERP system, we are looking for an Accounting Supervisor (General Ledger and Tax) to play a central role in maintaining the accuracy, integrity, and compliance of our financial records.

The role

In this role, you will own the general ledger end to end, including daily bank-feed matching, customer payment recording, monthly bank and subledger reconciliations, journal entries, payroll posting, and month-end closing activities through to the preparation of a draft management pack by day seven. You will also be responsible for ensuring timely and accurate BIR tax compliance, including VAT, expanded and compensation withholding taxes, income tax, 2307 reconciliations, and alphalists. In addition, you will serve as the first-tier approver of vendor bills and supervise two accountants handling accounts payable and inventory. You will report directly to the Finance Manager, who will review your reconciliations and approve your journal entries. This is a key role for someone who takes ownership of keeping the books clean, reconciled, accurate, and compliant every month.

What you will do

• Match bank feeds daily to the collections and deposit registers and record customer payments; list unidentified receipts for follow-up.
• Prepare monthly bank reconciliations for all accounts within five business days and subledger-to-GL reconciliations (AP, AR, inventory, fixed assets) for close.
• Prepare manual and recurring journals with full narrative and support for Finance Manager approval.
• Prepare VAT, expanded withholding, compensation withholding and income-tax computations and returns; reconcile every return to the ledger before filing; manage 2307 issued and received reconciliations; maintain the filing calendar and alphalists.
• Post payroll from the payroll register and reconcile statutory contributions.
• Act as first-tier approver of vendor bills within the authorization matrix and review three-way-match exceptions.
• Run the month-end close checklist and draft the management-accounts pack by day seven.
• Supervise, coach and appraise the Accounts Payable Accountant and the Inventory and Cost Accountant; review vendor reconciliations and inventory valuation.
• Support external audit, BIR audits and the ERP rollout.

Who we are looking for

• Licensed Certified Public Accountant (required).
• At least five years of general accounting experience, including hands-on preparation (not just review) of bank reconciliations and BIR returns; at least two years supervising staff.
• Strong working knowledge of PFRS for SMEs or full PFRS, VAT, expanded and compensation withholding, and eFPS or eBIRForms filing.
• Experience with a cloud accounting or ERP system (Zoho Books, NetSuite, Xero, QuickBooks Online, SAP Business One or similar); Zoho One is a strong plus.
• Distribution, pharmaceutical, medical device or FMCG background preferred; inventory accounting exposure a plus.
• Meticulous, deadline-disciplined, and comfortable saying no to an unsupported entry regardless of who is asking.
• Clear written English for reconciliation narratives and audit correspondence.

What we offer

• A defined role with a documented control framework, real authority over your area, and a direct line to the Finance Manager and General Manager.
• A modern cloud ERP environment and a chance to shape how it is configured.
• Competitive salary with 13th-month pay, HMO, government-mandated benefits, and performance review against clear, system-measured KPIs.
• A growing company with a clear path: this role is the natural successor seat to Finance Manager.
