## Description

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!
