• Perform tax reviews for personal and business clients.
• Coach and develop offshore accounting team members.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships.

• A proactive, results-oriented mindset.
• Excellent client relationship and communication skills.
• A strong work ethic and drive for continuous improvement.
• Creativity and a collaborative spirit.
• A positive, personable demeanor.

Qualifications:

• Full ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification or equivalent.
• Ideally, 5+ years of experience in general accounting or a CFO-level role, including advisory or financial analysis/management accounting in practice or industry.
• At least 3 years of UAE tax filing experience, including Sales Tax and Corporate Tax.
• Competitive salary based on experience.
