• Prepare monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports.
• Reconcile sales reports from retail chains, e-commerce, and van sales.
• Monitor outstanding receivables and follow collection processes.
• Support external audits and maintain all financial documentation.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and cost control.
• Coordinate closely with operations, warehouse, and sales teams.

Requirements

• Minimum 3–5 years of accounting experience in UAE (FMCG/Trading/Distribution preferred).
• Strong knowledge of VAT, Excise Tax, landed cost, and inventory accounting.
• Experience with Odoo, Tally, Zoho, or similar ERP systems.
• Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, basic formulas).
• Ability to work independently with high attention to detail.
• Excellent English communication skills.
• Available to join immediately or within 30 days.
