Hi, been looking for an accounting position or any A/P and A/R for quite awhile now. Can you help or give me some tips how to land this job? I’m a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Accounting in the Ph but working as sales associate for now. Thank you for your kind response 😊

It's tough finding an entry level AP/AR job right now. Most companies like mine are outsourcing to asian countries na. Layo mo pala kabayan, sa Florida ako. I was in your shoes 7years ago. I don't know the recruiters there but just keep on trying. Malay mo may kumagat haha

Have you tried posting in the job referral or job openings bowls? you might be able to find some leads in there. Best of luck to you.

Have you contacted any third party recruiting agencies that either have accounting related positions or that specializes in accounting roles. It may not be ideal, but a contract role will get you some work experience, which would help down the road.

That is how I started out, as a contractor doing AP, customer billing, monthly recons. I stayed their for about 2.5 years before I landed a full-time regular job in accounting.

Thanks all!

I just offered an intern a full time position as an account coordinator with a starting salary of $50k. They have only been an intern for 2 months and have no prior experience. They acted like $50k was a huge slap in the face. Am I crazy for thinking $50k is reasonable for entry level in Toronto? I am not authorized to negotiate so they will have to take it up with HR, but I am still just shocked at the reaction. Please tell me if I’m totally out of touch!
