Description:
You own accounting execution end to end. You run the close, keep the ledgers audit-ready, and deliver clean, on-time reporting to US management — while building the discipline and controls a shared-services function depends on. You lead the execution; the group's external-auditor relationship and M&A technical calls sit with the Director of Accounting in Dubai, whom you'll partner with closely.
Your First 6 Months
- Take full ownership of the month-end close and reconciliation cycle in NetSuite, on the US calendar.
- Bring the close to a clean, predictable, audit-ready state across the assigned entities.
- Own multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation with accurate intercompany elimination.
- Stand up or tighten P2P / R2R process discipline, balance-sheet roll-forwards, and management reporting.
- Prepare the audit package and lead audit execution for the annual cycle.
What You Will Own
- Month-end close — the full cycle in NetSuite, delivered on the US East Coast calendar.
- Multi-entity, multi-currency consolidation — intercompany, CTA/FX, and elimination.
- Financial reporting & controls — GL integrity, balance-sheet roll-forwards, management reporting, and audit-readiness.
- Compliance execution — VAT/sales-tax, statutory filings, and ASC 606 / IFRS 15 revenue recognition where applicable.
- Audit execution — preparing the package and running the annual audit under the Dubai Director's technical oversight.
- Team delivery — leading and developing the Islamabad accounting team to a reliable, accountable operating standard.
