Position Overview We are hiring a Senior Accountant who has worked inside a Dubai real estate brokerage and knows brokerage accounting from the inside: commission cycles, RERA forms, developer settlements, client accounts, and cheque-heavy cash flow. This is not a generic accounting role — candidates without hands-on real estate brokerage experience will not be considered. You will own all accounting operations, tax filing, and AML compliance, running multiple accounts independently on QuickBooks.

Key Responsibilities — Brokerage Accounting

• Account for commissions on sales, leasing, and referral deals: accruals, splits, and agent disbursals

• Manage brokerage transaction accounting aligned with RERA forms (Form A/B/F) and DLD processes

• Communicate professionally with developers to follow up on and collect commission payments; manage developer invoicing, SOAs, and settlements

• Coordinate unit handovers, payment plans, and developer settlements with operations

• Track cheques, post-dated payments, and receivables from tenants and buyers

• Reconcile client accounts and ensure accurate, timely client billing and collections

• Generate sales and revenue reports segmented by property type and deal type (primary/off-plan vs. secondary, sales vs. leasing, by project and developer)

• Coordinate with CRM/admin so accounting records match listings and transaction updates

Key Responsibilities — Core Accounting & Compliance

• Full-cycle bookkeeping and daily entries across multiple accounts; monthly bank reconciliations

• Prepare financial statements (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) monthly and quarterly, plus MIS for leadership

• Prepare and file VAT returns via the FTA portal (input/output reconciliation); plan ahead for VAT and corporate tax deadlines

• Maintain AML compliance per UAE real estate regulations with proper documentation

• Run the monthly salary cycle in alignment with WPS; maintain payroll records and leave accruals

• Liaise with external auditors and keep audit-ready files

• Follow and operate the company's established systems, manuals, and procedures (SOPs); help document and improve them

• Assist in budgeting and cash flow forecasting

Requirements

• Minimum 3 years of accounting experience within a Dubai real estate brokerage — mandatory

• Proven hands-on knowledge of brokerage accounting cycles: commission disbursals, RERA forms, developer invoicing and settlements

• Expert in QuickBooks (Online/Desktop); advanced Excel and Google Sheets — mandatory

• Strong working knowledge of UAE VAT, corporate tax filing, FTA portal, and AML requirements — mandatory (not "willing to learn")

• Able to manage more than one company account/entity independently, with multiple transactions, deadlines, and confidential data

• Professional, confident communicator with developers, auditors, banks, and leadership

• Disciplined in following established systems, procedures, and manuals

• Smart, presentable, highly organized, and proactive in communication

• Bachelor's Degree in Accounting or Finance (CPA/CA a plus)

Note: Please apply only if you have direct real estate brokerage accounting experience in Dubai. Applications without it will not be shortlisted.
