Dave Lamanilao

Accountant

In July 2024, I joined Smith Sharpe and Abbott as a dedicated accounting professional with a robust academic and professional background. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy and a Master of Science in Accountancy from the University of Mindanao, where I also completed my academic requirements for a postgraduate degree.

As an Accountant, I bring six years of experience in audit and two years of experience in taxation, complemented by my international certification as a Tax Specialist. Additionally, my proficiency in Microsoft Office, particularly Excel, enhances my technical skills.

I have further developed my leadership capabilities through a Diploma and Advanced Diploma in Leadership and Management from the National Training College of Australia, which I completed in 2024. Currently, I am pursuing a Masters of Research at the Higher Education Leadership Institute,underscoring my commitment to continuous professional development.

Outside of my professional pursuits, I enjoy camping,traveling, and embarking on culinary adventures to try new foods. I also play musical instruments, including the drums and guitar, which enrich my creative expression and provide balance in my life. These hobbies inspire a sense of adventure and creativity that I bring to my work. As an Associate Member of CPA Australia, I am well-equipped to contribute to the success of Smith Sharpe and Abbott.
