• Manage accounts payable & receivable: invoices, payments to vendors, creator commissions, and ensure timely processing.
• Ensure proper bookkeeping and support in audit preparation, tax filings, financial compliance (UAE & region).
• Work closely with operations, talent, and investment teams to track budget vs actuals, cash-flow forecasting, and ad-hoc reporting.

• Proven experience as an accountant (minimum 2-4 years ideally in UAE or a similar fast-paced environment).
• Strong understanding of UAE accounting standards, compliance obligations, VAT, etc.
• Fluency in English is required; Arabic is highly desirable given our regional operations.
• Highly organized, detail-obsessed, comfortable in a startup environment where things change fast. You don t just manage , you anticipate, you take ownership.
• A team player who thrives in a high-energy culture but also capable of working autonomously and delivering under pressure.
• Tech-savvy; already familiar with accounting software/tools, and willing to help build scalable systems.
