Client Accountant

● Own end-to-end bookkeeping across an assigned portfolio of client accounts: invoices, payments, collections, expenses, and bank reconciliations. ● Keep all accounting entries up to date daily — same-day or next-day at the latest — across every client account. ● Prepare accurate weekly payment transfer schedules for founder sign-off, and process approved transfers on a weekly cycle. ● Handle manual accruals, provisions, and other month-end adjustments where a client's accounts require them. ● Prepare and file VAT returns accurately and on time for each client account. ● Prepare cash flow and payment projections for clients that require them. ● Periodically raise invoices and book expenses for client accounts as needed. ● Deliver monthly close on schedule, producing a client-ready reporting pack (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement) for each account. ● Present weekly reports directly to clients. ● Attend huddles with the founder to stay aligned on priorities and flag issues early. ● Proactively suggest process improvements as the practice's systems and workflows mature. ● Take on additional projects and client accounts as the portfolio grows. ● Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance (required). ● 2–4 years of hands-on bookkeeping/accounting experience, ideally across multiple clients or entities. ● Working proficiency in Zoho Books (or fast ability to learn it) and solid Excel skills. ● Understanding of UAE VAT filing requirements. ● Comfortable operating independently in a small, boutique firm with direct client contact. ● Strong attention to detail and a bias toward flagging issues early rather than after the fact. ● Willingness to take on new projects as the firm grows.
