- Prepare monthly financial statements — income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow — with supporting schedules and analysis
- Manage accounts payable and accounts receivable cycles, including supplier payments, client invoicing against project milestones, and collections follow-up
- Handle project accounting, including cost allocation, revenue recognition under percentage-of-completion, and work-in-progress reconciliations

- Manage payroll accounting and related filings, including General Organization for Social Insurance (GOSI) contributions and end-of-service benefit provisions in line with Saudi labor law

- Leverage AI tools to automate reconciliations, reporting, and routine accounting workflows, and champion their adoption across the finance function
- Strengthen internal controls, accounting policies, and documentation as the company scales
- Mentor junior accountants and review their work
- Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance; Saudi Organization for Chartered and Professional Accountants (SOCPA) certification required or in progress; Certified Public Accountant (CPA) or Certified Management Accountant (CMA) is a plus

- Strong familiarity with the Saudi market is required — including ZATCA requirements for VAT, zakat, and electronic invoicing; GOSI; Saudi labor law provisions affecting payroll and end-of-service benefits; and local business practices
- AI-savvy is a must — demonstrated, hands-on use of AI tools (such as large language models, AI-assisted reconciliation, and automation platforms) in day-to-day accounting work, with genuine curiosity to keep learning as the technology evolves

- Experience with enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems (SAP, Oracle, or similar) and advanced Microsoft Excel skills
