Job description
SMEs and owner-managed businesses across the UAE, many of them in free zones, rely on this professional services firm for their accounting, tax and compliance. Monthly accounting for a portfolio of clients is overseen here, along with review of VAT and UAE Corporate Tax returns before they go out. Clients treat you as their day-to-day contact, so queries, practical solutions and commercially focused advice on VAT, Corporate Tax and UAE regulations all come through you. Reviews of client accounts are where accounting, tax and compliance issues get caught early. Junior team members look to you for coaching, and new clients need a smooth onboarding into ongoing services. Business development is part of the role too, through deeper client relationships, networking events and industry functions. Candidates must be based in the UAE, speak Arabic and English fluently and have accounts consulting experience, along with a Chartered Accountant, Tax Advisor or equivalent qualification, at least 3 years in accounting or tax and eligibility for the FTA Tax Agent exam. The salary range is AED 15,000 to 17,000 a month.
