As the founding Business Valuation Manager, you will lead complex valuation engagements for US-based clients, drive financial modeling and due diligence work, and build a high-performing local team from the ground up.

This is a high-impact, client-facing role — not a back-office or support function. You will have direct ownership of engagements, real decision-making authority, and a seat at the table as the firm establishes its Philippine operations.

Minimum Qualifications

Minimum 5 years of hands-on business valuation experience using income, market, or asset-based approaches
Bachelor's degree in Accountancy, Finance, Business, or related field
Expert-level MS Excel and financial modeling skills
Strong written and verbal English communication skills — direct US client interaction required
Proven ability to prepare and present valuation reports independently
Acute attention to detail with a commitment to high-quality deliverables
Experience handling sensitive and confidential client information

Preferred Qualifications

CPA, CFA, CVA, CPV, or equivalent professional credential
Background in a Big 4, boutique advisory, or financial advisory firm

What's In It for You

Founding role — be part of building the firm's first Philippines operations from scratch
Direct US client exposure with full ownership and visibility of your work
Strong compensation: ₱150,000 – ₱250,000/month, open to discussion beyond this range for the right candidate
Collaborative, mentorship-driven team culture with a clear growth path
