Job description

Overview

The Role: You will own all financial planning, cash flow management, banking relationships, and cost control for the business. You will work above the General Accountant directing day‑to‑day bookkeeping while focusing on strategy, forecasting, and decisions that protect and grow the company’s cash position. This is a hands‑on financial leadership role, not a back‑office reporting function.

Responsibilities

• 13‑week rolling cash flow forecast updated every week without exception; always knowing what cash the business has and what it will have a week, a month, and a quarter from now.
• Receivables management: drive down Days Sales Outstanding through structured client follow‑up, milestone billing, and escalation discipline; no invoice sits unpaid past 45 days without an active recovery plan.
• Payables management: schedule supplier payments to protect cash while never delaying a payment that would stop a critical order or factory shipment.
• Banking relationships: manage all bank facilities, negotiate better terms, and restructure expensive short‑term debt into more efficient facilities.
• Project cost control: implement and maintain project‑level cost cards so every installation has a live budget versus actual and margin erosion is caught in week one, not month three.
• Monthly management accounts, full P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statement: published by the 5th of every month with variance commentary.
• VAT and tax compliance: ensure all filings are accurate and on time with zero FTA penalties.
• Budgeting: build the annual budget and reforecast quarterly based on actual performance.

Key Performance Indicators

• Days Sales Outstanding below 60 days.
• Cash flow forecast accuracy within 10% of actual.
• Monthly accounts published by the 5th of every month.
• Finance cost as a percentage of revenue below 2.5%.

Qualifications

• 5years in a finance management or controller role, ideally in trading, construction, or contracting.
• Proven experience managing cash flow in a working‑capital‑intensive, import‑dependent, or project‑based industry.
• Strong experience with UAE banking facilities, short‑term loans, trade finance, LCs, and revolving credit.
• Experience negotiating directly with banks on facility terms and pricing.
• Strong Excel and ERP skills; Odoo experience preferred.
• UAE VAT and corporate tax knowledge.
• Fluent English; Arabic is an advantage.

Benefits

• Competitive salary based on experience.
• Performance bonus linked to cash flow and cost control KPIs.
• Medical insurance.
• Visa and Emirates ID sponsorship.
• 30 days annual leave.
• Equal Opportunity Employment: All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or any other protected status.
