We're hiring an Accounts Receivable Accountant to join a growing finance function within a leading technology and innovation organisation in Abu Dhabi.
This isn't a traditional Accounts Receivable role focused purely on invoicing and collections. We're looking for someone with strong exposure to Revenue Accounting, Revenue Recognition and IFRS 15, ideally gained within a SaaS, software, technology or other commercial environment.
What you'll be doing:
• Manage accounts receivable activities including billing, invoicing, collections and customer reconciliations
• Support revenue accounting and ensure revenue is recognised accurately in line with IFRS 15
• Review customer contracts to determine appropriate billing and revenue recognition treatment
• Manage contract-based billing across subscriptions, milestones, projects and other commercial agreements
• Reconcile AR subledger balances against the general ledger and investigate discrepancies
• Manage deferred and unearned revenue and ensure accurate revenue reconciliations
• Support month-end close activities and wider commercial finance requirements
• Work with ERP systems and help improve reporting, controls and finance processes
What we're looking for:
• 3-5 years of experience across Accounts Receivable and Revenue Accounting
• Strong practical understanding of Revenue Recognition and IFRS 15
• Experience reviewing customer contracts and understanding how contractual terms impact invoicing and revenue recognition
• Hands-on experience with billing, invoicing, collections and reconciliations
• Experience with contract-based, subscription, licensing, project or managed-services revenue models preferred
• Experience within SaaS, software, technology, IT services or another commercial environment strongly preferred
• Bachelor's degree in Accounting or Finance
• Experience with ERP systems such as SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or NetSuite
• ACCA, CPA or CA qualifications are advantageous
• UAE experience preferred
Why join?
• Join a leading technology and innovation environment in Abu Dhabi
• Work within a commercially focused finance function rather than a purely transactional AR role
• Gain exposure to complex customer contracts and different revenue models
• Opportunity to work with modern finance systems, automation and data-driven processes
If you're an AR / Revenue Accountant who understands the difference between simply raising an invoice and correctly recognising revenue, I'd love to speak with you!
