So I made a life changing decision last April, to join my dad in his Industrial Engineering firm and so far so good, all is doing well.
Well not as in WELL-WELL.. I had some serious ups and downs with Bureau of Internal Revenue and some serious concerns with employees but this is what a General Manager faces... its a training ground for me and these types of problems will be my companion for quite some time...
Oh well, I have not been practicing my Sales and Marketing background for so long. Would you like to guess what my main function is in our company? Yes a hint above will tell you that I am actually handling Finance, Accounting and Human Resources!
Aside from keeping the monthly sales and expenses and report them to our freelance accountant for tax filing, I prepare cash/check vouchers, follow up on delinquent accounts and well, I sign checks on the side. Since we're a small firm, I kinda do all tasks here in the office.
The month of July was a bit challenging for me, since our Secretary had to take a month long sick leave because she had an ectopic pregnancy. So just imagine what my functions were, I did the Sales, Marketing, Finance, Accounting and HR functions in the office.
Just imagine if we had monthly targets and quota, I'd probably gone ballistic since I was a one woman team last July.
Hmmm, but targets are good to keep people moving and the company growing... I will review that and propose that to my dad....
