Employment Type: Full-Time

About the Role

Heritage Quarters General Trading LLC (HQ) is looking for a reliable and detail-oriented Accountant to manage the company’s day-to-day accounting, financial records, VAT documentation, payments, receivables, and financial reporting.

HQ operates across retail, wholesale (B2B), e-commerce, importing, and general trading, so we are looking for someone who understands the financial requirements of a trading business and can maintain accurate and well-organized accounts across multiple sales and purchasing channels.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate records of all company income, expenses, purchases, sales, and financial transactions.
• Handle daily bookkeeping and ensure transactions are properly categorized and supported by documentation.
• Manage Accounts Payable (AP) and Accounts Receivable (AR).
• Prepare and issue customer invoices, quotations, credit notes, and other accounting documents.
• Record and reconcile payments received from retail, wholesale, online, cash, bank transfer, POS, and other payment channels.
• Perform regular bank, cash, POS, and payment gateway reconciliations.
• Track supplier payments, customer outstanding balances, advances, deposits, loans, and other company liabilities.
• Maintain proper records of company cheques, including issued, received, cleared, and upcoming cheques.
• Prepare monthly Profit & Loss statements, cash-flow reports, expense reports, and management summaries.
• Assist management with budgeting, cost control, financial forecasting, and profitability analysis.
• Maintain accurate purchase and inventory-related accounting records.
• Calculate and monitor landed costs, including purchase price, freight, customs, logistics, and other associated costs.
• Coordinate accounting records with inventory movements and investigate discrepancies where necessary.
• Prepare and maintain documentation required for UAE VAT compliance and VAT return filing.
• Ensure invoices and accounting records comply with UAE tax requirements.
• Coordinate with external auditors, tax consultants, banks, payment providers, suppliers, and other parties when required.
• Maintain organized digital and physical records of invoices, receipts, contracts, payment confirmations, and supporting documents.
• Monitor company expenses and identify unusual, duplicate, unnecessary, or undocumented transactions.
• Provide management with accurate and timely financial information for decision-making.
• Support the development and improvement of the company’s internal accounting and financial-control systems.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field.
• Previous accounting experience, preferably within general trading, retail, wholesale, distribution, e-commerce, or importing businesses.
• Good understanding of UAE VAT regulations and accounting practices.
• Strong knowledge of bookkeeping, AP/AR, bank reconciliation, P&L, cash flow, and financial reporting.
• Strong Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets skills.
• Experience with accounting software such as Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Tally, Odoo, or similar systems is preferred.
• Ability to work with large numbers of transactions and maintain accurate documentation.
• Experience handling inventory accounting and landed-cost calculations is an advantage.
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify discrepancies.
• Good English communication skills.
• Ability to work independently and meet reporting and tax deadlines.

Preferred Candidate

We are particularly interested in someone who has worked inside a UAE trading company and understands the complete financial cycle—from purchasing and importing goods to inventory, wholesale/retail sales, collections, supplier payments, VAT, and management reporting.

The ideal candidate should not simply record transactions. They should be capable of maintaining a clear picture of the company’s financial position and helping management understand where money is being spent, what is owed, what is receivable, and how the business is performing financially.

What We Expect

Accuracy, confidentiality, accountability, and organization are essential for this position. The Accountant will have access to sensitive company financial information and is expected to maintain strict confidentiality and professional standards at all times.
