Melliza Andrada – Treasury and Accounting Supervisor

melliza-andrada-vaI am a graduate of Bachelor of Science in Accounting at University of Mindanao. I’ve worked as a Treasury and Accounting Officer for almost 10 years. Through that I was able to build myself confidence and trust from my Boss.

I am blessed in having a complete and fortunate family. I am the eldest among my siblings. From what I experienced during my grown up years, our parents motivated us to do jobs and earn money through hard work. They also taught us to handle the business which made me realize many things about business and finance. I was able to acquire knowledge on the basic finance and Philippine Tax.

I started my first job at BDO way back in 2012. I was so excited knowing I landed a good job. I do the cash sorting and checking counterfeit money before we can balance at the end of the day. After almost a year working with my BDO family, I had an opportunity to work at Unifrutti, an international fruit exporting company. There I was able to practice the different tools in accounting world. Systems like SAP, Platinum, MYOB, XERO, Quickbooks and Excels different formats. I’m glad for the trainings and opportunities that were given to me.

In my 10 years working in the corporate world, I was able to build motivation, self-awareness, communication and adaptability. I experienced accounting jobs such as Bookkeeping, Cash flow, Cash Position Report, Journaling the statement of account, the close monitoring of remittance, bank documents and many more.

Yes, accounting is an upside down job, where you have to stay in focus and detailed. There were a lot of times that I cried, but those instances only made me stronger. For me, this is my great experience.

As for the other side of me, I love traveling, food tripping, and exploring different cultures and conquering different challenges. I was able to put up my own business which is a travel agency but unfortunately, because of the pandemic the business was not able to survive.

I guess all of these experiences are God’s ways to mold into the best versions of ourselves.
I am looking forward to working with you and I hope you will give me a chance to prove myself.
As of now, I am a mother and taking good care of my little daughter.
