About the job Finance Generalist

Timesheets in. Payslips out. Books clean.

Hi! We’re Smartsourcing, and we’re hiring a full-time, onsite Finance Generalist whose main focus is payroll — running weekly pay accurately and on time — alongside ownership of the wider transactional finance cycle for an onshore finance team.

Where?

JEG Tower, Archbishop Reyes, Corner Acacia St., Barangay Kamputhaw, Cebu City, 6000 Cebu

About The Role

As a Finance Generalist, your largest focus is payroll — managing the payroll inbox, collating timesheets and approvals, processing weekly pay with all loadings and adjustments, and coordinating sign-off and bank-file transmission so employees are paid accurately and on time. Around that, you’ll own the transactional finance cycle: the daily sales journal, weekly accounts payable and receivable, bank and credit card reconciliations, balance sheet reconciliations, the fixed assets register, and BAS support. Working alongside the existing offshore team member and the onshore Finance team, you’ll keep records complete and compliant, contribute to process improvement and documentation, and process everything accurately and within agreed timelines. It’s a role for someone analytical and detail-driven who can carry work through to completion with minimal supervision — and who’s confident enough to speak up and share ideas.

Process Improvement & Stakeholder Coordination

Learn the team's processes, and help document and standardise finance and payroll workflows.
