Finance Officer  

Job Overview

Numbers don’t lie — and neither do you. You’re precise, organised, and already capable. You catch small errors before they become big problems. At Perigon and Strong Pilates Philippines, we’re building high-performance brands — and that includes financial systems that are accurate, efficient, and built to scale.

This role wears multiple hats. Accounting is the core — but you’ll also own payroll as a human resources function and take on administrative work as needed to support the owner. You’re expected to be comfortable switching contexts: one moment you’re reconciling accounts, the next you’re processing payroll or following up on a compliance requirement. If you need everything neatly siloed, this probably isn’t the role for you.

Beyond executing the day-to-day, you’ll play an active role in making our accounting systems more efficient and better structured. As the company grows, so does the scope of this role — and the opportunities that come with it.
