Role Overview
We are looking for a hands-on, CPA-licensed Senior Accountant to fully own Moongig's day-to-day finance and accounting operations. This is an execution-focused role: you will close the books cleanly each month, file our taxes correctly and on time, and deliver accurate, investor-ready financial reports without supervision.
You will be the single point of accountability for everything finance and accounting at Moongig, from BIR compliance to monthly close to cashflow tracking. You won't be doing this alone: you'll have direct access to the founders, our external auditors and legal, and the operational support to get things done. This role is ideal for someone who takes pride in accurate books, on-time filings, and getting the numbers right the first time.

- Coordinate directly with external auditors, tax agents, and government agencies

Daily Finance Operations
- Manage AP/AR: invoicing, collections, vendor payments, and reimbursements
- Process payroll and professional fee disbursements accurately and on time
- Coordinate with HR and/or external payroll providers to validate payroll reports and deductions
- Monitor and report cashflow, burn rate, and runway on a weekly or bi-weekly basis
Budgeting & Variance Tracking
- Track actuals against approved budgets and flag variances proactively
- Support founders with simple cost analysis and unit economics when needed
Systems & Documentation
- Maintain and improve accounting tools, trackers, and reports
- Document finance processes, approval workflows, and internal controls

Required
Minimum Qualifications:

- Strong, current working knowledge of Philippine taxation — VAT, withholding, income tax, annual filings
- Hands-on experience with eBIRForms, eFPS, and BIR validation modules
- Demonstrated ability to independently prepare accurate financial statements (monthly, YTD, full-year) with quick turnaround
- Proficient in Excel / Google Sheets

Strongly Preferred
- Experience in a startup, SME, or fast-paced environment where you owned finance end-to-end with minimal supervision
