Job summary

Soum, a fast-growing Riyadh-based B2C marketplace, is seeking a Finance Operations Accountant to own day-to-day bookkeeping in Odoo, support month-end close, and ensure audit-ready records. You'll collaborate with auditors, banks, and vendors.

You have IFRS knowledge, 2–4 years in accounting or audit, and strong analytical skills. This role offers exposure to finance leadership and opportunities to improve controls as Soum scales.

Qualifications

• 2–4 years of experience in accounting, finance operations, or audit — audit/assurance background (Big 4 or mid-tier) is a strong plus.
• Sharp analytical skills with genuine attention to detail; comfortable digging into numbers until they make sense.
• Hands-on experience with Odoo (or a similar ERP) and a solid understanding of the accounting logic behind it — not …
• Strong stakeholder management skills — able to communicate clearly and confidently with internal teams, auditors, banks, and vendors.
• Solid grounding in accounting principles (IFRS) and practical month-end close experience.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or related field.
• A self-starter who takes ownership, moves fast, and holds a high bar for accuracy — fits naturally with Soum's culture of trust, speed, and accountability

Responsibilities

• Own day-to-day bookkeeping and ledger accuracy in Odoo — ensuring transactions are correctly coded, classified, and mapped to the right accounts and cost centres
• Perform monthly balance sheet and bank reconciliations, investigating and resolving discrepancies promptly
• Support month-end and year-end close: journal entries, accruals, prepayments, and supporting schedules
• Analyze financial data to flag anomalies, trends, or control gaps before they become issues — bringing an audit-minded eye to routine operations
• Act as a key point of contact for external auditors — preparing schedules, responding to requests, and ensuring documentation is audit-ready year-round, not just at year-end
• Partner with internal stakeholders (Commercial, Operations, Procurement) to resolve financial queries and ensure accounting treatment reflects business reality
• Maintain and improve Odoo-based accounting workflows — identifying automation opportunities and tightening controls as the business scales
• Support the Senior Accountant on financial reporting, ad hoc analysis, and process documentation
• Ensure compliance with internal policies and relevant local regulatory/tax requirements (e.g., ZATCA, VAT)
