Kat,
Thank you very much for the first day today. Really appreciate you being here.
So sorry that the office was very crowded and busy – was actually the most crowded and busiest in the last few weeks…..!!
Promise it will get better. Please make yourself comfortable in the office, and feel free to ask your friendly colleagues for any support.
Thursday and Friday , I would like you to work with Hasebe-san, Fon and others to achieve the following tasks:
For the Toshiba order, please ask Hasebe san how to do it – I want you to get used to keeping track of our payments, etc. 長谷部さん宜しくお願いします。
Find the relevant software for accounting. Is MYOB the best software? MYOB is preferred because HK and SG uses it. We want to find the one that also has the relevant tax scheme for Thai.
Find out the cost of MYOB and report back to me and Hasebe-san, and other software options as well
Meet with Krungsri manager who is responsible for our account. We want to open internet banking, and also assign you as User 1 and assign a manager as User 2.
I will try to get sample P/L from HK, so you can start to review them and get an idea for how the P/L is structured.
I am also trying to see if someone from HK is able to come help you start out the accounting job. I will get back to you once I confirm.
I also requested for your email address – HK will get back to me on that.
Please feel free to always ask me any questions! Even when I am away, I try to be reachable on LINE and on email :)
