Recently, MJ Madrid engaged in an exclusive interview with CEO Insights ASIA and shared about his professional endeavors.

Give a brief account of your professional journey.
I graduated from the University of Santo Tomas with a Bachelor of Science in Accountancy. Immediately after passing the CPA boards, I worked for five years in SGV & Co and gained significant audit and business advisory experience. During this period, I was eager to be an entrepreneur. I started different businesses such as those involved in manpower and security services while also moonlighting as an audit and tax consultant for other businesses. As expected, I faced challenges typical of startups. Lacking the experience and knowledge to deal with these challenges, I decided to go back to school. I enrolled in the graduate program in entrepreneurship at the Asian Institute of Management. The program made me aware of my strengths and weaknesses as an individual and eventually, I was able to see my way clearly to where I would focus my energies. In the middle of the program, I incorporated MGM & Co and started accepting clients in a small office unit in Makati City. Twenty years hence, we are a group of 130 professionals and specialists with four branches in Metro Manila offering services and solutions to local and multinational clients.

What are the most valuable lessons you have learned from the institute? Could you share a few instances of how they served as beneficial in your professional journey?
A side from learning to craft a business plan with clear statements of our vision. mission, and strategies, I learned how to create value in my organization. Creating value is essential to growing our business which is primarily oriented toward service to our clients. Earning the client's trust and continuously meeting their expectations are the bedrock of our business. In the first few years of operations, I made sure I had all the certifications and accreditations required in my practice including joining professional organizations and global affiliations so clients would continue to trust me. Then we focused on efficiency by training our staff and assisting them in using technology to increase productivity. All this resulted in fast delivery of services, increase in client base and expansion of our service lines.
