About The Founders

• Davide Delgrossi, Founder & CEO – ex-Google, CEMS and Rotterdam School of Management Alumnus
• Diego Beccarelli, Co-Founder & COO – ex-Meta (Facebook) and Roland Berger, CEMS and London School of Economics Alumnus

THE ROLE

In this role, you will manage key financial operations for our international business, including accounts receivable and payable, treasury activities, and financial reporting. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, a proactive approach, and experience working with digital tools and international accounting standards.

What You Will Do

• Manage accounts receivable and accounts payable processes efficiently and accurately.
• Prepare customized invoices upon customer request.
• Ensure compliance with international accounting standards and company policies.
• Perform accounting reconciliations and maintain brand finance tracking files.
• Monitor payment processes for customers and handle data entry tasks.
• Work with platforms such as Stripe, PayPal, and Kajabi for payment processing and financial tracking.
• Create monthly reports from the Kajabi platform and manage related expenses.
• Conduct monthly checks on Facebook Ads, Stripe fees, and expense reports.
• Support the finance team with reports, calculations, and forecasting.
• Set up Zapier automations for new brands before the first sale is made.
• Use Salesforce (or similar CRM tools) for financial reporting and webhook integration.
• Maintain accurate financial documentation and organize receipts and files in shared drives.
• Continuously improve internal Google Sheets and financial tracking templates.
• Be familiar with Zoho Books for bookkeeping, expense tracking, and financial reporting.
• Ensure compliance with UAE VAT regulations, including verifying taxable transactions and maintaining VAT documentation.
• Support UAE Corporate Tax (CT) compliance, including maintaining required records and assisting with CT-related reports.
• Follow UAE accounting and bookkeeping laws, ensuring correct filing, documentation, and adherence to local financial regulations.

What We Offer

• Hybrid role with flexible schedule (full-time availability)
• Full time employment contract
• Intensive growth within the company
• Modern office in JLT

Why You Might Not Be Excited About Us

• We’re a scaleup, not a big corporation — things move fast, and priorities can shift.
• You’ll help build our processes and culture from the ground up.
• If you prefer very structured environments, this might not be the best fit.

About Us

At WeLearn we believe the human capital is the best asset of a company, hence you will interview directly with the Founders to whom you will be able to ask any question and who will tell you more about the project, their vision and your potential career path. If you love social media, you like to be surrounded by young, driven and like-minded people and would like to start off your career in a tech startup with unlimited potential of growth, you are in the right place and we couldn’t be more excited to have you in our team.
