Accountant

About the role

Your main job: the books in Odoo

• Post sales invoices, supplier bills, payments, payroll, rent and accruals in Odoo.
• Reconcile every bank account, and the customer and supplier ledgers, each month.
• Close each month on time, with every cost posted, so the P&L shows the real picture.
• Record the full landed cost of each import (product, freight, customs and clearing), so product costs and margins in Odoo are correct.

Receivables, payables and VAT

• Prepare customer statements and aging reports, and work with the sales team on collections.
• Process supplier payments, including import payments in US dollars and other currencies.
• Track customer rebates, listing fees and supplier credit notes, and make sure each one is booked and recovered.
• Prepare UAE VAT returns, and keep the records ready for corporate tax and audit.

Excel and reporting

• Turn Odoo exports into clear monthly reports: P&L, cash, receivables and stock.
• When two reports disagree, find out why.
• Test the new Odoo reports with our implementation partner and flag anything that is wrong.

What you need

• Very strong Excel. You use pivot tables, XLOOKUP or INDEX MATCH, and SUMIFS every day, and you can reconcile two large files that do not match line for line.
• A degree in accounting.
• 3 or more years as an accountant in the UAE.
• Hands-on Odoo accounting. You use it every day for posting, reconciliations, landed costs and the month-end close. Tell us which version.
• Hands-on UAE VAT. You have prepared and filed returns yourself.
• Clear written English. You can explain a number in two or three short sentences.
• You meet deadlines without being chased, and you say early when something will be late.

Nice to have

• Experience in FMCG, food distribution, or another import and trading business.
• Inventory accounting and stock valuation.
• Power Query or Power BI.
• ACCA, CMA or CPA, finished or in progress.
• UAE corporate tax experience.
• You use AI tools such as ChatGPT, Claude or Copilot in your work, and you check what they give you before you use it.
• Arabic.

What we offer

• AED 2,500 to 4,000 per month, based on your experience and your test result.
• You report directly to the Managing Director, and your numbers are used to make decisions.
• A real say in how our accounting and reporting are set up as the business grows.
