Job Title: Accountant (Russian Speakers only)

(Healthcare / Medical Consumables & Service Costing)

ELEMENTAL DAY SURGICAL CENTER is looking for a detail-driven Accountant (Russian Speakers only) to own inventory accounting and stock control for medical supplies and consumables. This role is critical to ensuring accurate stock valuation, disciplined month-end closing, and reliable reporting that supports service costing (costing sheets) and margin visibility.

Key Responsibilities

Inventory Accounting (medical / consumables focus)

• Record inventory purchases (medical supplies, consumables, materials)
• Correctly classify transactions:
• Inventory vs. expense
• Consumables vs. capital items
• Maintain inventory movement records linked to services (usage), not resale
• Manage stock valuation and documentation, including:
• FIFO / weighted average costing
• inventory write-offs
• expired / damaged stock handling
• stock valuation and controls

Stock Reconciliation (system vs actual)

• Reconcile physical stock counts vs system balances
• Investigate discrepancies (usage variance, wastage, expiry, theft, data errors)
• Prepare and post stock adjustments / write-off entries
• Work with data provided by clinic staff (doctors, nurses, storekeeper) and ensure completeness/accuracy
• Ensure inventory is adjusted based on actual usage and write-offs are properly recorded

Service Costing (Costing Sheets / Calculation Cards)

• Prepare costing sheets (calculation cards) for medical services, linking consumables and materials usage to service cost
• Understand how incorrect stock accounting distorts margins and management reporting
• Support management with cost transparency for decision-making (without necessarily setting prices)

UAE VAT Basics for Clinics

• Apply correct VAT posting on inventory purchases (medical supplies)
• Basic awareness of zero-rated vs taxable medical services
• Avoid common VAT mistakes (not required to be a tax advisor)

Systems, Month-End & Reporting

• Use accounting software with inventory module (not expenses-only usage)
• Perform monthly stock closing, cut-off procedures, and prepare inventory reports for management
• Support audit requirements (stock schedules, documentation, stock count observations) — preferred

Required Skills & Experience

• Hands-on experience with at least one accounting system: QuickBooks / Xero / Zoho Books / Odoo / similar
• Practical experience with an inventory module (purchases, movements, valuation, adjustments—not only expenses)
• Strong understanding of:
• FIFO / weighted average
• inventory write-offs and adjustments
• expired/damaged stock procedures
• stock valuation principles
• Ability to create costing sheets / calculation cards for medical services, based on actual consumables usage
• Strong Excel skills (pivot tables, reconciliation models) is a plus

Strong Advantage (Highly Recommended)

• Experience in healthcare / clinics / pharmacies / labs / hospitals
• Familiarity with expiry dates, batch control, controlled items, clinical wastage and usage-driven consumption
• Audit support experience (stock schedules, supporting auditor requests, stock count observations)

Soft Skills (Very Important)

• Ability to work with non-finance staff:
• communicate with doctors / nurses / admin calmly and clearly
• explain stock differences professionally
• request the right data (usage reports, counts) and follow up

What We Value

• Accuracy, ownership, and month-end discipline
• Ability to bridge finance + operations in a clinical environment
• Practical problem-solving and clear communication
