Service Associate-Finance (Accounts Payable)
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Service Associate-Finance (Accounts Payable) supports the hotel’s finance team by processing invoices, verifying supporting documents, recording transactions, preparing payment requests, reconciling supplier accounts, and maintaining accurate payable records. Applicants typically need a degree or diploma in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, along with basic knowledge of bookkeeping and Microsoft Office, particularly Excel. Previous accounts payable, hotel, or shared-services experience is helpful but may not be essential for an entry-level role. The candidate should be detail-oriented, numerate, organized, trustworthy, and able to meet deadlines. Good communication skills, confidentiality, teamwork, and a service-focused attitude are also expected in a busy hotel environment.
Can I work in the Philippines?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: The employer files a work permit (Alien Employment Permit) after a local-first job notice, then a 9(g) visa; hotels get permits for specialists, not line staff.
Watch for: From 11 November 2026: job notice online, decision in 10 working days. Filing is online only, at the labour department's central office, since 2026.
Official source: Bureau of Immigration: Pre-arranged Employment Visa (9G). Checked November 2026.
What the job usually comes with in the Philippines
Usual for the Philippines, varies by employer. Checked November 2026.
| Housing | Not in city hotels; island resorts (Boracay, Siargao) may give shared staff quarters |
|---|---|
| Meals | Duty meals in the staff canteen |
| Flights | Senior packages only |
| Service charge | All of it shared equally among staff except managers (by law); the amount varies by hotel |
| Contract | Probation up to 6 months (by law); foreigners' contracts follow the permit, 1 to 3 years |

| Income tax | 0% to PHP 250,000 a year (about USD 4,000), then 15% to 35% |
Senior staff often get more than line staff, for example a single room or a yearly home flight. Ask the employer what the job includes before you accept.
