• The Story So Far: We’re Building a Global Brand in Real Estate
• Huspy is one of the leading property technology companies in EMEA.
• Launched in 2020, we now operate in multiple cities across the UAE and Spain, expanding into Saudi Arabia and 3 more European markets by 2026.
• Today, we own the largest portion of the UAE mortgage market and are one of the fastest-growing players in every European city we’ve entered.
• We’ve raised over $140 million (Series A and Series B) from the world’s top investors, including Sequoia Capital, Founders Fund and Balderton Capital, to reshape the homebuying journey through powerful technology and agent-first tools.

• We’re transforming how property transactions happen — faster, smarter, and better for everyone.
• We’re not slowing down.
• The question is: will you be part of what’s next?
• The Main Event: What You’ll Drive, Build, and Own
• Monthly Closing & Reporting: Own and streamline the end-to-end month-end, quarter-end, and year-end closing processes. Design efficient closing schedules, coordinate with regional accounting teams, and deliver accurate, timely financial reporting packages (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) to the executive leadership team and board.

• Audit & Partnership Management: Serve as the primary liaison for external auditors, tax consultants, and banking partners. Lead the annual group audit process smoothly.
• Process Automation & Systems: Evaluate, implement, and optimize scalable financial software and ERP systems (e.g., NetSuite, Oracle) to automate workflows, reduce manual closing times, and support Huspy’s tech-first approach.
• Treasury & Cash Flow Management: Monitor multi-currency cash flows, working capital, and FX risks, ensuring capital is optimized to support aggressive growth and operational benchmarks.
• Internal Controls & Risk Management: Design, implement, and reinforce bulletproof internal controls and financial policies to safeguard startup assets, prevent fraud, and minimize operational risk.
