You will be responsible for managing distinct financial streams—from the high-volume, transactional nature of short-term rentals to the project-based accounting of our interior fit-outs and the long-term financial management of our property portfolio. The ideal candidate is a hands-on, detail-oriented professional who thrives in a multi-faceted environment.

A) Holiday Homes

• Oversee the accurate and timely calculation of monthly statements and payouts to property owners.
• Ensure precise reconciliation of revenue from all booking channels (e.g., Airbnb, Booking.com), managing OTA commissions and fees.
• Track and report on key hospitality KPIs, including RevPAR, ADR, and Occupancy Rates.

B) Property & Asset Management

• Oversee the financial management of our long-term rental and investment property portfolio.
• Manage service charge budgets, invoicing, and collections for managed properties.
• Track and analyse property-level profitability, ROI, and support in asset valuation exercises.

C) Interiors

• Manage comprehensive project-based accounting for all interior design and furnishing projects.
• Develop, track, and report on project budgets, ensuring costs are controlled against project milestones.
• Oversee procurement finance, including vendor payments, LPOs, and reconciliation for Furniture, Fixtures & Equipment (FF&E).
• Prepare detailed project profitability and cost analysis reports.

D) Consolidated & Corporate Finance

• Prepare accurate and timely consolidated monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements for the entire group.
• Lead the annual budgeting and forecasting process across all divisions.
• Ensure full compliance with UAE regulations, including VAT returns and preparation for Corporate Tax.
• Manage the annual audit process and serve as the primary point of contact for auditors.
• Supervise and mentor a small finance team.

Qualifications & Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Accounting, or a related field.
• Professional accounting qualification (ACCA, CPA, CMA, or equivalent) is required.
• Minimum of 7-9 years of progressive experience in accounting and finance, with at least 3 years in a management or supervisory role.
• A proven track record in a multi-faceted finance role within the real estate, property development, or hospitality sectors is mandatory.
• Direct experience with project accounting for interior fit-outs or construction is a significant advantage.
• In-depth, practical knowledge of IFRS, UAE VAT, and Corporate Tax principles.

Skills & Competencies

• Exceptional ability to manage and prioritize across different business models (transactional, asset-based, and project-based).
• Strong proficiency in accounting software (e.g., QuickBooks, Zoho Books) and advanced MS Excel.
• Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
