Revenue Accountant

Role Overview

Reports to: Senior Finance Manager (Head of Finance), working day to day with the wider finance team
Location: Remote. Working hours must overlap substantially with Gulf business hours (GMT+4), especially around month end.
Language: Fluent written and spoken English required. Arabic a plus, not essential.
Level: Mid level. A commercially minded finance operator, not a junior processor.

What you will own

Core responsibilities

Revenue and billing operations: Run the recurring billing cycle end to end: commission and agency invoicing, and the usage based billing inputs, raising invoices accurately each cycle.
Month end ownership: Coordinate with the Head of Finance and the rest of the team to close the month on time.
Sense checking and anomaly catching: Build and run your own checks on the usage data that drives billing.
The bridge to the data team: Translate business and billing needs into clear, well scoped requirements the data and engineering team can deliver against.
Accounts receivable: Track receivables, chase outstanding balances, and keep a clean, current view of who owes what.
Audit and reconciliation support: Prepare schedules and reconciliations and support the external audit alongside the team.

What we are really looking for

Commercially savvy: You understand why the numbers matter to the business, not just how to record them. You anticipate problems before they happen rather than reacting after.
A natural sense checker: You do not trust a number just because a system produced it. You build your own checks and you notice when something is off.
A translator: You can sit between finance, operations and a technical data team, understand all three, and turn business needs into clear requirements, then sanity check what comes back.
Organized and dependable: Things do not slip with you. You manage your own workload to month end deadlines without being chased.
Self managing and communicative: This is a remote role. You communicate clearly and proactively in writing and you do not need close supervision.
