Job description

Role & responsibilities

• Daily transaction recording for all three entities: customer invoices, supplier bills, expenses, receipts, payments, credit notes (preparation), and journal entries, each with complete supporting documents attached.
• Customer and supplier subledgers, cash application, and weekly AR/AP ageing reports with disputes, unapplied cash, and credit balances separately identified.
• Bank and credit-card reconciliations for all entities, with no unreconciled item older than 30 days without a documented owner and resolution plan.
• Inventory-to-ledger reconciliation, landed-cost recording (freight, customs, duties), and cost of goods sold accuracy for finished goods, components, and assembled products. Physical counts are performed by the stores team; you book and analyze the results.
• Intercompany accounting: recording, monthly invoice-level matching schedules across the three entities, and investigation of differences by invoice, currency, and exchange rate.
• Month-end and year-end close execution against a defined checklist: accruals, prepayments, depreciation, foreign-exchange revaluation, and balance-sheet reconciliations, delivered as a signed close pack per entity.
• Three-way matching of supplier invoices against purchase orders and goods-received records before posting and payment preparation.
• Payment run preparation with supporting schedules for Financial Controller approval and release by authorized bank signatories.
• Preparation of working papers for UAE VAT and corporate tax, Canadian GST/HST, and Indian GST/TDS filings, and administration of the group statutory filing calendar. External providers in each country review, sign, and file.
• Audit preparation and schedules for the external auditors of each entity.

Preferred candidate profile

• Bachelor's degree in accounting, finance, or a related field.
• 8 to 15 years of accounting experience, including at least 2 years managing the books of multiple legal entities and preparing financial reports.
• Hands-on experience with inventory and COGS accounting in a goods or manufacturing business (candidates with services-only backgrounds will not be considered).
• Demonstrated personal ownership of month-end close and balance-sheet reconciliations, not supervision of others doing it.
• Intercompany and multi-currency accounting experience.
• Hands-on UAE VAT experience.
• Advanced practical Excel (pivot tables, lookups, reconciliation and exception analysis).
• Proficiency in ERP systems, preferably Zoho Books/Inventory or similar accounting software.
• Strong written and spoken English.
