Operations Manager – Accounting & Tax Practice (UAE, Hybrid)

Our client, a fast-growing UAE accounting and tax group, is looking for a qualified, hungry Operations Manager to run its accounting practice day to day, drive growth, and work as the CEO's right hand.

ABOUT THE BUSINESS
An established, founder-led UAE practice serving SMEs with monthly accounting, VAT and Corporate Tax services. The group also includes a sister tax advisory firm, so you'll be part of a wider, collaborative team.

THE CULTURE
We work hard, and we genuinely enjoy each other's company while doing it.
• Small team, big impact. No politics, no layers. Ideas heard on Monday can be live by Friday.
• We actually hang out. Team meals, pool days and retreats are part of how we work.
• Trust over micromanagement. Results matter, not hours at a desk.
• Hunger is celebrated. We're growing fast and we back people who want to grow with us.
• Modern by default. Cloud tools, automation and AI everywhere.

WHAT YOU'LL DO
• Run full day-to-day operations of the practice: onboarding, bookkeeping, VAT and Corporate Tax delivery
• Own the growth and delivery numbers, reported monthly to the CEO
• Take client meetings, online and in person, and convert enquiries into clients
• Be the senior technical voice for clients on UAE VAT, Corporate Tax and compliance
• Lead, coach and motivate the junior team reporting to you
• Improve systems and processes across cloud accounting, CRM and task management
• Work closely with the CEO and heads of department across the group

WHO YOU ARE
Must have:
• Chartered or fully qualified accountant (ACCA, ACA, CA, CPA or similar) with tax advisory experience
• Solid experience in the UAE accounting industry
• Strong knowledge of UAE VAT and Corporate Tax
• Confident advising business owners and running client meetings
• Experience managing a team
• Based in the UAE and able to attend in-person meetings
• Proactive, driven, with real hunger and desire to grow a business
• Trustworthy and self-motivated when working remotely
• Up for team socials, meals, pool days and retreats

Nice to have:
• Registered Tax Agent with the UAE Federal Tax Authority (strongly preferred)
• Xero or similar cloud accounting experience
• Exposure to sales targets or practice growth

WHAT YOU GET
• Salary up to AED 10,000 per month, depending on experience
• Six-monthly performance bonus
• A secure, long-term role in an established, growing group with recurring revenue
• Work directly alongside the CEO with real influence on the business
• Hybrid working: remote flexibility plus in-person client and team days
• Team meals, pool days and retreats
• Room to grow your team, scope and earnings as the practice scales
