+639********* • ****.*******@***.**** • https://www.linkedin.com/in/iren-quimado/ Current Address: 3302 Tower A, Scout Borromeo St., corner Tomas Morato Avenue, Quezon City, Metro Manila PROFILE I am a highly motivated BS Accountancy graduate from the University of Asia and the Pacific. My interests include Organization and Project Management, Research, Finance, and practical Accounting. I am also active in the community through my fundraising and agribusiness initiatives. Hence, I am a dedicated individual who always believes that my purpose in life transcends beyond the self. Having internship experiences from a multinational financial services company (Macquarie Group) and one of the leading auditing firms in the Philippines (SGV & Co.) helped me to possess practical skills in handling complex financial tasks and processes enabling me to think critically, innovate efficiently, manage time wisely, and collaborate passionately.
Currently, I seek to gain more corporate-related experience in order to further grow in a career that would fulfill my earnest desire to improve my capabilities, serve people, and work with professionals with integrity, competence, and compassion.
