<p>COMPANY
A 30-year-old UAE-based trading group operating across professional audio equipment, public address systems, and musical instruments. The group runs multiple entities across import, wholesale distribution, retail, and technical projects.
MISSION
The Finance Head owns and operates the financial backbone of the group — driving accurate financial reporting, disciplined cashflow, bottom-line margin protection, clean audits, tight controls, and steady evolution of MIS and analytics — while serving as a trusted finance thought partner to the CEO, MD, and leadership team.
The Finance Head inherits an established finance function with mature systems, disciplined processes, and a capable team already in place. The role is to maintain operating rhythm, protect and refine the reporting and margin analysis frameworks, drive cost saving delivery, evolve MIS toward live dashboards, own the FP&A cadence end-to-end, and act as the operational finance lead in strategic conversations as the business evolves.
YEAR-ONE OUTCOMES
1. Ownership Transition Complete — The finance function is inherited cleanly. Banking, auditor, and tax-advisor relationships transferred. Monthly closes, reporting and budgeting on track.
2. Clean Close, Clean Audit — The first year-end statutory audit is signed off with zero material adjustments across all entities.
3. Inherited Issues Resolved — Open handover items cleared and the first clean full-year VAT and Corporate Tax cycle completed.
4. Cost Saving Targets Delivered — Quarterly cost saving and efficiency targets met over the year.
5. MIS Evolution & Automation — MIS progressed from static month-end reports toward dashboards.
6. Trusted Finance Partner — Leadership confidence in the finance function is high enough that the CEO/MD reduce direct involvement in finance.
ACCOUNTABILITIES
1 Financial Reporting
Consolidated monthly P&L, Balance Sheet, and Cashflow across group entities with variance commentary, delivered monthly.
2 Month-End Close
Timely, disciplined close: inventory reconciliation, accruals, depreciation, intercompany reconciliation, trial balance, and financial statement preparation.
3 AR, AP & Inventory Control
Debtor aging and credit decisions, payment approvals, stock aging review, and stock valuation integrity.
4 Internal Controls & SOPs
