@Bryann - Hi there. I’ve done financial and management accounting in the past, plus a little of US taxation. In the headhunter interview, tinanong yung qualifications. So I said that CPA ako sa Philippines and willing to achieve licensure here. …

@lock_code2004 - Agree. Just very happy because we were bracing ourselves for FEE-HELP (study-now-pay-later) or bank loan to cover the supposedly $30K. Buti nalang free pala.

Just an update: I called the university today to check about my husband’s fees for his 1-year program. And much to my surprise, he won’t have to pay tuition ($30K) but student contribution ($5.8K) only. As a PR, he is a Commonwealth Supported Stu…

@vhoythoy - Agree, kayang-kaya walang agent. Basta give it some time and patience, you will be fine. Also, ask questions to those who’ve done thing before you. Makakatulong if kukuha ng tips from this.

I heard that some companies are particular about titles, they don't take in non-cpas (in australia). But my employer (also the headhunter) acknowledged my Phil license. I think konti lang yung mga picky talaga.
