## Description

About ZAD

ZAD is the brainchild of a group of young, passionate Kuwaiti financial professionals driven by a vision of fostering a culture of investment in Kuwait. And for this team, Zad began as a means to answer a need in the market: the need to make investment an accessible concept and viable choice for a broader audience

Reports to: Senior Finance Officer; Manager / Controller — Kuwait

Purpose of the Role

Completing the maker-checker chain already applied to payments, extending it to financial reporting. Today the Senior Finance Officer builds and the Manager/Controller — Kuwait reviews every report. This role becomes the dedicated preparer — turning the reconciled ledger into finished reports — freeing the Senior Finance Officer to verify rather than produce. Brought forward to Q4 2026, alongside the other Kuwait hires, ahead of the reporting-volume increase from UAE consolidation and Kuwait's own CMA/KSE reporting cadence.

Key Responsibilities

• Preparation of monthly and quarterly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, cash position, variance analysis) for the Senior Finance Officer's review.

• Preparation of supporting schedules for the CMA/regulatory filings and audit requests.

• Verifying report figures tie back to the ledger and the Bookkeeper/Accountant's reconciliations before submitting for review.

• Supporting the external audit process and first-level auditor queries

• Cross-training as backup for the Bookkeeper/Accountant.

• Preparing the consolidated Kuwait + UAE group accounts once UAE figures are received each cycle.

Decision Authority

• No independent sign-off, all reports require Senior Finance Officer review and Manager/Controller - Kuwait final approval

Key Performance Indicators

• Draft accounts and schedules ready for review by an agreed month-end date.

• Zero material corrections required after review, trending down over the first two quarters.

• CMA/regulatory drafts submitted ahead of statutory deadlines with review margin.

Requirements

Must have

• Four to five years in financial and statutory reporting.

• Bachelor degree in Accounting or Finance.

• Experience on an ERP or accounting system, for example Microsoft Dynamics or SAP.

• Advanced Excel.

• Experience gained in an accounting or auditing firm.

• Working knowledge of IFRS.

• Fluent in English.

Preferable

• CPA or ACCA, qualified or in progress.
