Hire an Accountant in the Philippines.

We recruit accountants for the work that sits above bookkeeping. Month-end journals, accruals, prepaids and schedules, statements with variance commentary, and the workpapers your CPA asks for every year become theirs. You get the most qualified candidates, comfortable with a US accrual close rather than only local standards.

01 · The role

What an accountant actually owns

  • Month-end close: journals, accruals, prepaids, schedules
  • Financial statement preparation and variance commentary
  • Fixed asset and depreciation schedules
  • Sales tax and 1099 support workpapers
  • Audit and CPA request fulfilment
02 · The screen

What we test before you meet anyone

  • A journal-entry exercise involving accruals, prepaids, and deferred revenue
  • Whether they have closed a US-standard month end, not just recorded transactions
  • ERP or accounting stack depth: QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage
  • How they document and support each entry for review

Where accountant searches usually go wrong.

US GAAP familiarity is the gate, and many strong accountants trained on local standards instead. That experience is usually presented as equivalent, when the candidate has never worked an accrual close or a 1099 season.

05 · Questions

Before you send the brief.

How do you screen accountants?
Every accountant search runs the same checks before anyone reaches you. A journal-entry exercise involving accruals, prepaids, and deferred revenue. Whether they have closed a US-standard month end, not just recorded transactions. ERP or accounting stack depth: QuickBooks, Xero, NetSuite, Sage. How they document and support each entry for review. You see the notes from each one alongside the candidates we recommend.
Why is it hard to hire an accountant?
US GAAP familiarity is the gate, and many strong accountants trained on local standards instead. That experience is usually presented as equivalent, when the candidate has never worked an accrual close or a 1099 season.
What does an accountant in the Philippines typically own?
A placed accountant normally takes on the following. Month-end close: journals, accruals, prepaids, schedules. Financial statement preparation and variance commentary. Fixed asset and depreciation schedules. Sales tax and 1099 support workpapers. Audit and CPA request fulfilment. Scope is set in the brief, so if your version of the role is narrower or broader, say so and we recruit to that.
How does hiring an accountant through HireTalent.ph work?
Send us a brief describing the role. We come back with whether it is a search we can run, who we would be looking for, and what it would take. Nothing is owed while we work that out.

We aim to present the most qualified candidates within 10 business days of an approved brief.
