  • Handle Corporate Tax, VAT, and statutory compliance independently, without reliance on third-party service providers.
  • Develop and manage the company’s budgeting, forecasting, and long-term financial planning processes.
  • Conduct variance analysis and recommend improvements to drive operational efficiency and cost control.
  • Manage cash flow, working capital, and banking relationships, ensuring optimal liquidity and financial stability.
  • Lead audits and financial reviews, liaising with external auditors, tax advisors, and regulatory authorities.
  • Provide financial advisory and insights to the Owner, CEO, and CFO for strategic decision-making.
  • Evaluate investment opportunities, risks, and returns to support sustainable business growth.
  • Implement and strengthen financial controls, processes, and reporting systems across departments.
  • Partner cross-functionally with multiple department heads to align financial goals with business objectives.
Job Requirements:
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field. Professional certifications (CA/ACCA/CPA/CMA) are preferred.
  • Experience: Minimum 5 years of relevant experience, including 3+ years in a managerial capacity within the UAE.
  • Must have direct hands-on experience managing IFRS reporting, Corporate Tax, and VAT filings internally (not through third-party firms).
  • Proven ability to develop and manage budgets, forecasts, and financial models to drive business performance.
  • Proven experience managing AR/AP, budgeting, forecasting, cash flow, and banking operations.
  • Experience leading audits, compliance processes, and financial system improvements.
  • Must have managed a team of qualified accountants and demonstrated team-building and leadership capability.
  • Strong interpersonal and stakeholder management skills; able to interact effectively with department heads, senior leadership, and external partners.
  • Proficiency in Zoho Books, QuickBooks, MS Office, and financial modeling tools.
