Hi, tanong ko lang. Ive been browsing Jobseek.com, based sa mga qualifications is “CA/CPA or close to completion“ ang essential criteria, does that mean for Chartered Accountants yun at hindi yun CPA ng PH, right? Napansin ko din na mas mababa ang sahod sa jobs na hindi yun nirerequire. Medyo mahirap din pala maghanap ng work. Pls advise. Thanks

@Bashy - CA/CPA as mentioned in any job ads here are both Australian qualifications.

Chartered Accountants (CA) (full membership CAANZ)
Certified Practising Accountant (CPA) (full membership CPA Australia)

Unfortunately, the CPA designation in PHL is not fully recognised here though it can give you some advantages if you're going to pursue either CA/CPA here in OZ.

And yes, challenging ang accounting/finance job market here in OZ.

Anyone tried to directly apply at KPMG australia and request for sponsorship? Please reply. I just took the online assessment last week and I'm wondering if there is a chance to land a job there. Need your advice fellow CPAs. Thank you

Depends if they are hiring overseas. Sometimes they do.
