Hi Good Day!
I am Geraldine Libang, and I have almost 5 years of experience
in accounting and finance. In my previous roles, as you can see in my CV. I
was able to get my first job in a Franchise Food Company - Padre Pio LTK

that I do handle the Accounts Payables - maintaning the general ledgers,
checking the invoices of the clients to avoid any redundancy of Invoices. And I
also do the Accounts Receivables - maintaining the collections of bulk orders
most especially from the Local Governments as well as the different schools
located nearby the store. I also do monitored the Credit Memos from the Main
Office to make sure that it was properly applied with the invoices we have
receive by them. But then, I needed to resigned for my job after a year and
half. For I am looking for a new opportunities that can shape me more to even
more knowledgeable enough in terms of my chosen fields.
Then next, I was able to get another job in a Logistics company - PH Global
Jet Express Inc. I was just 2 Months there and I was able to experienced the
reconciliations of Official Receipts duplicate copies with the Sales Reported
to every branches. Then now, I was currently employed to my current job as
an Accounting Officer here in Mariwasa Siam Ceramics, Inc. a manufacturing
company of Ceramic Tiles in the Philippines. During my first 2 years here, I
was able to handle the 2 affiliates company of Mariwasa the SCG MArketing
Philippines, Inc. A company offers a construction materials especially
smartboards. Then also the SCG Builk One Philippines, Inc. - A company
offers Software Products especially Jubili B2B CRM focusing in Sales
Processes for B2B industries.
In SCG Marketing, we are using SAP ERP as our accounting system and I
was able to handle the Accounts Payable with selected suppliers - I do the
reconciliations of credit cards account making sure that all transactions have
supported invoices and official receipts. I also do the Reimbursements of the
employees ensuring that they have provided official receipts for the following
transactions they are reimbursing I also do processing the invoices of different

or invoices. As well for the loans, to properly deducted to their payroll
accordingly.
At the same time, I am handling the SCG Builk One, focusing to Record to
Report Accounting Process of the company using the Quickbooks Online.
Here, I was able to experienced handling also the Accounts Payable with the
process of maintaining the records of received invoices to avoid any repetitive
invoices, Once I received the invoices I will record it in my Monitoring then will
entried it in Quickbooks then will prepare the checks manually, then right after
preparing will prepare check vouchers and made approvals with the
Authorized Signatories of the checks. Once checks are approved, will

Audits of the employees. It is to properly checked the deductions of empoyees
loans (if any) as well as to verify the computation of Withholding Tax for
compensations of the employee.
As for my Strenghts - I can say that I have an attention to details. In
accounting, even small errors can have major consequences, so I’ve
developed a habit of double-checking my work and maintaining organized
records. Another strength is my reliability—I always ensure deadlines are met
and reports are submitted on time. Lastly, I’m skilled in communication, which
helps me collaborate effectively with colleagues and communicate
professionally with vendors or clients.
As for my weaknesses - I used to struggle with delegating tasks, especially
when I wanted things to be done perfectly. Over time, I realized that trusting
the team and communicating clear expectations leads to better productivity
and less stress. I’ve been working on this by balancing my responsibilities and
offering support rather than trying to take on everything myself. Because
sometimes, my thinking is that it was always hard to say NO to everything.
Outside of work - sometimes I read books about understanding my own self
especially when I am having a hard time about myself. Sometimes, doing
walkings . But especially, Spending time with family that helps me stay
grounded and motivating me in everything I do.
Learning style - I learn best through hands-on experience and structured
guidance. I find that working on actual tasks, supported by clear
documentation or process guides, helps me absorb and apply knowledge
effectively. I'm also proactive in asking questions to ensure I fully understand
what’s expected.
In your opinion, which is better: accuracy or efficiency - While both are
important, I believe accuracy should come first in accounting. Mistakes can
lead to compliance issues, penalties, or damaged client relationships. While,
being efficient allows you to handle volume and meet deadlines, so I strive to
maintain a balance—starting with accuracy, then improving my speed without
sacrificing quality.
Working night shifts (Adjustments) - Honestly, I do not have experience in
a night shift set-up. But I do experienced working until 2AM in the morning.
But not that regularly, I understand that if ever I got the opportunity I needed
to have some adjustment with my hours of being awake and being asleep. But
I will assured that I will easily adjusts through following a consistent sleeping
schedule, to create a quiet rest environment during the day to make sure that
I still get an enough time to rest and sleep. And I would like to assure you that
I will be mentally prepared for a peak productivity during work hours. Most
importantly, to always stay hydrated and take short breaks to maintain focus
throughout the shifts.
