 Charterhouse are currently working with a Family Office group, based in Abu Dhabi, whom are looking to hire a Senior Associate of Finance Operations &amp; Tax Compliance.
 
 
 
 
 
 With a reporting line to the Regional Finance Director, this Senior Associate will oversee and manage all the tax accounting and filing activities across the entity whilst ensuring compliance across financial accounting, transfer pricing, intercompany accounting and statutory reporting. From a tax perspective, the coverage within the UAE jurisdiction will span Corporate Tax &amp; VAT under the Federal Tax Authority (FTA) to ensure accurate documentation, filing and payments for regulatory purposes.
 
 
 
 
 
 In conjunction, this role will extend to areas of accounting and finance support; whereby the month-end close, reconciliation and consolidation of statutory accounts is managed in an accurate and timely manner. This will ensure the maintenance of all intercompany accounts, adherence under IFRS, overseeing the accounting policy and preparing schedules for tax returns and audits.
 
 
 This Senior Associate will also take ownership of reporting controls, from both an operational and project basis, with a need to support finance projects focused towards improvement policy, any systems review and the introduction of management-based (MIS) reporting tools.
 
 
 
 
 
 Our client will look to recruit a professionally qualified Chartered Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CIMA or CPA) with a background within a mainstream tax and compliance function along with experience from within a practice-type environment (ideally Big Four) within an advisory-based role.
 
 
 
 
 
 The client would see their Senior Associate possessing a minimum of 5 years post-qualified experience and exposure to an in-house corporate (Bluechip-type) environment would be a distinct advantage. Ideally, the client will look towards applicants whom can demonstrate UAE-based experience; allowing for both ease of inception and a knowledge-transfer within this technical area of finance.
 
 
 
 
 
 The successful candidate shall require strong and up-to-date knowledge and insight across the IFRS bandwidth, to ensure an accurate in-house expertise and an ability to support and manage any audit processes. Applicants will also be expected to possess strong systems skill, spanning both ERP and accounting software, along with solid exposure to Excel tools, to ensure precise reporting and analytical capabilities. The nature of this organisation and the industry-space demand excellent communication skills, along with the soft skills required, to manage and liaise across the lines of business and operations at all levels.
