👑 Overview: The Strategic Financial Leader
The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) is the highest-ranking financial executive within an organization. For a large-scale retail operation like PRIDE Supermarket, the CFO is a strategic partner to the CEO, responsible for the entire fiscal health and integrity of the company. The modern CFO’s role extends far beyond traditional bookkeeping—it encompasses four key pillars:
Steward: Ensuring the accuracy of financial reporting, complying with all regulatory and tax requirements, and protecting the company’s assets.
Operator: Running an efficient, technology-driven finance function, managing daily accounting, cash flow, and internal controls.
Strategist: Helping to shape the overall business strategy, identifying profitable opportunities (like expansion or new product lines), and managing capital allocation.
Catalyst: Driving change and instilling a cost-conscious, data-driven mindset across all departments of the retail business, from procurement to operations.
In the specialized environment of a supermarket on the Marshall Island, the CFO’s expertise in physical inventory, open to buy, and buying control is absolutely critical to managing supply chain risks and maximizing margins in a location with unique logistical challenges. You will be responsible for turning financial data into clear, actionable strategies that ensure long-term stability and growth.
💼 Experience, Qualification, and Professional Requirements
The gravity of the CFO role demands a robust combination of elite academic qualification and extensive, specialized leadership experience.
Essential Qualifications:
Academic Foundation: You must hold a Degree in business, finance, and/or accountancy. This provides the necessary comprehensive theoretical and regulatory understanding of the financial world.
Professional Certification: A high-level professional certification is non-negotiable. Expertise in Finance accounting, CPA, and financial reporting is explicitly sought, with the CPA (Certified Public Accountant) designation being the most valued mark of professional competence, ethical standards, and specialized knowledge in financial reporting and taxation.
ERP System Mastery: Proficiency in the SAP system is required. As a top-tier Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) tool, your ability to leverage SAP for real-time reporting, integrated financial accounting, and accurate data analytics is crucial for efficient retail operations.
Required Work Experience:
Executive Experience: A minimum of 6–10 years experience is required, with a significant portion of this time spent in senior financial management or executive leadership roles (Controller, Finance Director, or senior Accountant roles leading to CFO).
Retail Financial Expertise: You must have worked and understand the retail environment. This includes:
Physical Inventory: Overseeing and establishing robust procedures for accurate physical inventory counts and valuation.
Open to Buy (OTB): A strong understanding and experience managing the Open to Buy budget system, which is essential for maximizing profitability in merchandise planning.
Buying Control: Implementing financial controls around procurement to optimize costs, manage vendor relationships, and mitigate purchasing risks.
Strategic Planning: Proven experience in Budget and processing/procedure development, including forecasting, annual budget preparation, and implementing financial controls to improve operational efficiency.
💡 Special Skills Needed: The Retail Finance Commander
To successfully lead the finances of a major supermarket in a remote setting, the CFO needs advanced technical and leadership skills beyond the balance sheet.
Advanced Retail Financial Modeling: The ability to develop complex financial models for pricing, promotions, new market entry, and forecasting inventory turnover, which directly impacts the supermarket’s profitability.
Cash Flow and Working Capital Optimization: Expertise in cash flow management and optimizing the working capital cycle (managing receivables, payables, and inventory) to ensure the business remains liquid and can seize growth opportunities.
Risk Management: Exceptional skill in identifying and mitigating financial risks specific to retail, such as commodity price fluctuations, foreign currency exposure, supply chain disruptions in the island environment, and inventory obsolescence.
Leadership and Communication: As a C-suite executive, you must have strong leadership skills to build, mentor, and manage the finance team, and exceptional communication skills to present complex financial data and strategic recommendations clearly to the CEO, board, and non-financial department heads.
Adaptability and Regulatory Compliance: The ability to quickly adapt to the local business and tax environment of the Marshall Island and ensure absolute compliance with all local laws and international financial reporting standards (IFRS/GAAP).
🇵🇭 Philippine Certification: A Foundation for Global Excellence
While the requirements for a CFO focus on university degrees and professional licenses (like CPA), Filipino applicants can leverage their foundational and ancillary certifications from the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) as proof of verified, standardized competence in operational finance tasks.
Relevant TESDA Certification: The most pertinent certification is the Bookkeeping NC III.
The Value of NC III: Although a CFO does not perform daily bookkeeping, holding this certificate demonstrates a certified, hands-in understanding of the foundational transactional data that feeds all high-level financial reporting. It shows you have mastered the source of truth for all your strategic decisions, ensuring data integrity from the ground up.
Submission of Certificates: You are highly encouraged to submit your CPA license (if applicable), SAP training certifications, and any relevant training certificates (including TESDA NCs) to present a comprehensive, compelling professional profile.
🚀 Your Opportunity: Lead Finance in Paradise
This is a premier executive position with a strong retail company, offering a challenging yet incredibly rewarding environment in the beautiful Marshall Island. If your career is defined by strategic leadership, financial integrity, and a track record of driving retail profitability, this is your next ultimate destination.
