Key Skills for This Role
Full Job Posting
Overview
If you are a senior CA or certified valuator in the UAE with 8+ years behind you - ask yourself honestly: are you building something, or are you billing for someone else's something?
A founding seat in a serious UAE fintech venture is available.
The team has 20+ years of UAE banking and healthcare at its core.
The opportunity is real.
The window is now.
The platform combines AI technology with credentialled professional oversight to deliver services at the price, speed, and quality the market requires.
The founding team brings deep UAE banking programme delivery, DOH-licensed healthcare operations, and AI product development.
What we are adding is the professional credential layer - a senior CA and/or certified valuator who becomes the human standard behind the platform's output.
─────────────────────────────────────
What You Will Do
- ─────────────────────────────────────
- Act as the professional credential anchor for the platform - your qualification and standing are part of the product's value proposition
- Review and countersign AI-generated valuation outputs (equipment and business) in your area of expertise
- Contribute to methodology design - ensuring the platform's analytical engine applies recognised international valuation standards correctly and defensibly
- Support commercial development - introductions to potential institutional clients (banks, accounting firms, insurance companies) from your professional network
- Participate in investor conversations as a founding team member, providing credibility to the professional services layer
- Grow into a named leadership role as the platform scales across UAE and GCC
- ─────────────────────────────────────
What We Are Looking For
─────────────────────────────────────
Essential
✓ Chartered Accountant (ACA, ACCA, CPA) in good standing - UAE practice experience required
✓ Minimum 8 years post-qualification experience, with at least 4 years in the UAE or GCC
✓ Demonstrable experience in business valuation engagements - SME, M&A, or dispute resolution
✓ Familiarity with IVS (International Valuation Standards) - working knowledge of IVS 200 and IVS 300 is highly advantageous
✓ Understanding of UAE FTA corporate tax framework and transfer pricing requirements
✓ Entrepreneurial mindset - this is a startup partnership, not a corporate role
✓ UAE residency
Highly valued:
◎ CVA (Certified Valuation Analyst - NACVA) or ASA credential
◎ RICS (MRICS/FRICS) qualification, particularly with plant and equipment experience
◎ Existing UAE bank or institutional relationships
◎ Prior experience advising SMEs through valuation events (sale, financing, FTA compliance)
◎ Interest in or experience with technology-driven professional services
─────────────────────────────────────
What Is On Offer
- ─────────────────────────────────────
- Equity stake in a pre-revenue fintech venture with a clear and funded path to launch
- Revenue share on countersignature engagements from day one
- Named founding team member status — your credential and professional identity are central to the brand
- Flexible engagement - structured around your existing practice or employment
- The rare opportunity to shape the professional methodology of a platform that will handle thousands of valuations annually across UAE and GCC
- A genuine seat at the table - not a consultant arrangement
- ─────────────────────────────────────
