• Coach and develop offshore accounting team members.
• Build and maintain strong client relationships.
• Contribute to business development through networking, events, and referrals.

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

Qualifications:

• Full ACA, ACCA, or CIMA qualification or equivalent.
• Ideally, 5 years of experience in general accounting or a CFO-level role. This can be in practice where you have gained experience advising clients or working in industry with an element of your role being advisory or financial analysis/management accounting.
• 3+ years experience of UAE tax filing, Sales Tax, Corporate Tax.
• Competitive salary (depending on experience).
• Fully remote working (Dubai-based).
• Pension.
• 25 days holiday.
• Learning and development allowance.
• Company away days and strategy trips.
