The Head of Delivery

The Head of Delivery will own the complete client delivery engine across Finact, covering managed accounting operations, Virtual CFO and finance transformation, Corporate Tax, VAT, Transfer Pricing, Audit and IFRS support, corporate services and related advisory work for UAE and India clients. The role exists to remove founders from routine delivery, create one operating rhythm across service lines, and ensure that growth does not compromise technical quality, client experience, deadlines or margins. The person will lead a two hub model where India performs most production and Dubai retains client accountability, professional judgement and sign off where required.

This role requires an operator with strong professional services judgement, not only a subject matter specialist. The ideal candidate can see across accounting, tax, audit and advisory workflows, create discipline without bureaucracy, challenge weak delivery practices and build managers who can run portfolios independently.

CA, ACCA, CPA or an equivalent professional qualification is strongly preferred. A senior finance, operations or professional services leader with exceptional multi service delivery experience may also be considered. 10 to 15 years of relevant experience, including substantial leadership responsibility in a consulting, accounting, audit, tax, shared services or professional services environment. Experience managing cross border or offshore delivery teams is highly desirable.

Technical Skills

• Multi service delivery management, portfolio governance and capacity planning.
• Strong understanding of accounting, financial reporting, tax, audit and advisory engagement lifecycles.
• Quality management, SOP design, reviewer frameworks and root cause analysis.
• Commercial understanding of engagement economics, utilisation, WIP, scope control and margin.
• Ability to use CRM, project management, ERP, workflow and dashboard tools for delivery control.
• Strong appreciation of data security, confidentiality, professional standards and AI governance.

Preferred Skills

• Experience building or scaling an India based delivery centre supporting international clients.
• Big 4, mid tier or high growth professional services leadership exposure.
• Experience implementing automation or technology enabled service delivery.
• Proven ability to reduce founder dependency and build accountable managers or practice leads.
