• Compliance Leadership: Align UAE financial processes with IFRS standards and local FTA regulatory requirements (VAT), fostering a culture of transparency and uncompromising accountability.
• Financial Resilience: Act as a technical consultant to the finance team, identifying and rectifying process inefficiencies to protect the business from reporting volatility.

• Audit & Reporting DNA: Background in financial accounting, year-end audit preparation, and internal controls.
• Local Mastery: Proven experience operating within the UAE landscape, with a sophisticated understanding of VAT compliance and Dubai business dynamics.
• Technical Powerhouse: Advanced Excel skills (VLOOKUPs, Pivot Tables) and familiarity with ERP systems to extract and modify data with ease.
• Process Engineering: The ability to map complex end-to-end accounting workflows, identifying bottlenecks in the month-end close using lean methodologies.Why Join Us?
