Activities, duties performed ad accomplishments during the week

During the first week, I was introduced to the Finance Head, Finance Manager, and to the rest of the
employees. I was taught where the different departments are. For the first few days, I was asked to scan check
vouchers and combined them into one file. Then, I was asked to make transmittal form for each of their
clients and sent them to the finance head per company through email. Also, Sean and I was asked to arrange
the check vouchers by their check voucher number and placed them into one binder per month and year for
each of the company such as for ERA, BFI ( Buskowitz Finance Inc.) and BDI (Buskowitz Development
Inc.)

Challenges or difficulties encountered and how you are dealing or have dealt with the situation
Getting along with my workmates was challenging for me for the first week. I was afraid to ask questions like
if I was doing the tasks right. In dealing with this, I just had to face my fears of talking to new people.

Notes, observations or insights on things you have learned this week

I have noticed that the employees are very amiable and helpful. They are very flexible when it comes to
working hours like you can come in anytime from 7am to 10am as long as you work for 9 hours.

Going alone to the banks was very challenging for me since I had to cross the streets in order for me to go to
one bank to another bank and back to the office. I actually don't know how to cross the street alone and
without the crosswalk signal.

This week, I continued to write the company’s journal entries to their journal notebook for their manual
recording for BIR requirements. Sean and I were also tasked to look for 2307 in their binder full of check
vouchers for ERA 2018 and wrote down the amount, the expanded withholding tax and the percentage and
the WT ATC Code. I was also asked to do bank reconciliation for their BDO and PBB account. During
Sean’s last day, our CFO bought pizza for lunch since it was the last day/week for most of us interns.

Challenges or difficulties encountered and how you are dealing or have dealt with the situation
This week, I didn't encounter any big problems since I was already familiar with the tasks given but when I
was writing their journal entries, my left hand got really tired from it. It was not that big of a deal for me since
I really had fun with what I was doing. Since this week was my last week, I was really sad since I won’t be able
to see my colleagues everyday anymore. I really enjoyed working with them and it was a great opportunity for
me too.

Notes, observations or insights on things you have learned this week

I learned that it is very difficult to say goodbye to the things you were used to doing everyday. It was the best
2 months I have had experienced so far for this year 2019. I was also grateful for the opportunity to learn
new things from my supervisors which I can apply in the future.
