Full Job Posting
Role Overview
- We are hiring a finance operations assistant whose primary responsibility is to own reconciliations and core finance operations support.
- The role focuses on keeping cashflows, accounts, and records clean and up to date, while working closely with the Founder and external accountants in a modern, technology enabled environment.
Key Finance Responsibilities
- Perform regular bank, card, and petty cash reconciliations across multiple accounts, entities, and currencies.
- Match and reconcile transactions between bank statements, accounting records, internal trackers, and platform exports (Excel/Google Sheets).
- Maintain and update cashflow trackers, payment calendars, and simple dashboards for the firm.
- Support month‑end routines: preparing reconciliation files, identifying and resolving discrepancies, and chasing missing documentation.
- Track accounts payable and receivable (vendors, service providers, rental income, etc.) and ensure timely recording and follow‑up.
- Organise and digitise financial documents (contracts, invoices, receipts, statements) in a structured, searchable filing system.
- Prepare clear reports and tables showing reconciled balances, outstanding items, and upcoming cash requirements.
- Liaise with external accountants/bookkeepers to provide reconciled data and well‑organised supporting schedules.
Additional Responsibilities
- Support ad hoc financial analysis and data‑cleaning tasks for investment and real estate projects.
- Assist with building and maintaining internal trackers for investments, properties, and operational metrics.
- Contribute to process improvement by suggesting ways to automate or simplify repetitive finance tasks.
Tech & AI Expectations
- Use large language models (LLMs) as a work tool: drafting emails, summarising contracts, generating checklists, and explaining reconciliation exceptions.
- Use LLMs to assist with data tasks: converting messy exports into structured tables, suggesting spreadsheet formulas, and generating first‑draft exception lists.
- Daily comfort with modern collaboration tools such as Slack.
- Familiarity with workflow/task tools (e.g. Airtable, Trello/Asana, or similar) for tracking reconciliation cycles.
- Comfortable in a cloud‑first environment (Google Workspace or Microsoft 365).
- Curious and proactive about using AI/automation to reduce manual steps in finance processes.
Requirements
- Based in, or willing to relocate to, Dubai; primarily office‑based.
- 3–5 years’ experience in a finance/accounts assistant or similar role with strong reconciliation responsibilities.
- Solid understanding of reconciliations (bank vs ledger, statement vs internal tracker) and high comfort with numbers.
- Excellent attention to detail, accuracy, and a methodical, organised working style.
- Strong English communication skills and ability to work independently while coordinating with distributed teams.
- High integrity and reliability – you take ownership of keeping records accurate and closing open items.
Compensation
- Base salary: AED 10,000 per month, depending on experience.
- Potential discretionary performance bonus based on individual and firm outcomes.
- Exposure to AI‑driven finance operations and modern investment workflows.
