Time to
pack your bags for the
Philippines?

The Philippines is not just a call-center haven
and an outsourcing hub. The country is now attracting niche financial jobs
and looks set to reap further rewards from Wall Street's continued cost
cutting.
Foreign banks are hiring more accountants, audit managers, chief financial
officers, controllers, and financial planning managers to work in the
country. Meanwhile, Filipino finance professionals are upgrading their
skills and equipping themselves with sought-after qualifications, such as
CFAs, to stay competitive.
Richard Mills, chairman of Chalré Associates, a search firm which has
operations in the country, says financial institutions that are growing
include J.P. Morgan, Deutsche Bank, HSBC and Thomson Reuters. "Most started
a few years ago in Philippines doing call center work but realised that
people seem to like working with Filipinos so now they
are moving quickly up to much higher-value work," says Mills.
Deutsche Bank has been the fastest to move up the value chain, he adds.
"They hire CFO-level Filipinos for financial analysis work, supporting the
company's global CFOs. Thomson Reuters has moved a tremendous amount of its
capital market research to Philippines. They do very sophisticated work
here."
Bert Santos, president and chief executive of MRI Worldwide Philippines,
observes that while the basic pay of executives is much lower in the
Philippines than in Hong Kong or in Singapore, firms tend to offer various
extra perks in remuneration packages, such as meal and transport allowances.
Senior management roles are typically held by expats in the first few years
but as the business becomes more established, locals are promoted.
"Foreigners usually occupy only the general manager and one or two top-level
positions in foreign banks. Local banks would have Filipino GMs and Filipino
top executives," says Santos.
