  • Preparing analysis on movements in key general ledger accounts
  • Managing the accounting policy, ensuring its up-to-date and latest changes in IFRS and Group policies are implemented
  • Supporting entity set up in UAE
  • Participating in annual and interim audits
  • Contributing to and defining consolidation and financial control processes and procedures
  • Preparing and reviewing management and statutory reporting

What You'll Need

  • 7+ years of experience in finance functions, preferably with experience within a banking or financial services environment
  • To be a chartered accountant, trained in a reputable practise
  • Solid accounting knowledge
  • Excellent attention to detail with the ability to unravel complex accounting queries
  • Knowledge of UAE tax regulations
  • The ability to comprehend and narrate financial records for external stakeholders
  • To be positive and willing to try everything, from handwork to bigger projects
  • To be self-motivated, able to work under your own initiative
  • Exceptional organisation skills to plan and organise work so that it‘s efficient and effective
  • Great punctuality and time management skills
  • Excellent Microsoft Office skills
