UIG is a fast-growing FMCG distribution company operating across the UAE.
We manage a diverse portfolio of products, supply major retailers, and handle high-volume transactions daily.

Role Overview
You will be responsible for full-cycle accounting, ensuring accuracy, control, and compliance.
This role requires strong experience in distribution, stock management, reconciliations, and UAE tax regulations (VAT & Excise).
This position is only suitable for candidates who have hands-on experience, not beginners.

- Maintain accurate stock and cost records, including landed cost calculations.
- Handle VAT and Excise filings, reconciliations, and compliance requirements.
- Prepare monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow reports.
- Reconcile sales reports from retail chains, e-commerce, and van sales.
- Monitor outstanding receivables and follow collection processes.
- Support external audits and maintain all financial documentation.
- Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and cost control.
- Coordinate closely with operations, warehouse, and sales teams.
Requirements
- Minimum 3–5 years of accounting experience in UAE (FMCG/Trading/Distribution preferred).
- Strong knowledge of VAT, Excise Tax, landed cost, and inventory accounting.
- Experience with Odoo, Tally, Zoho, or similar ERP systems.
- Strong Excel skills (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, basic formulas).
- Ability to work independently with high attention to detail.
- Excellent English communication skills.
- Available to join immediately or within 30 days.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary
- Growth opportunities in a rapidly expanding business
- A performance-driven, supportive work environment
Job Types: Full-time, Permanent
Pay: AED3,500.00 - AED4,500.00 per month
Application Question(S)
- Explain how you calculate landed cost for an imported shipment. List the components you include and how you allocate them across SKUs.
- Describe your experience with UAE VAT & Excise. What steps do you follow to reconcile and file each return?
- You identify a discrepancy between warehouse stock and ERP stock. Walk us through exactly how you investigate and resolve it.
