• 5. Manage accounts payable and receivable, supplier payments, outstanding collections and cash flow.
• 6. Reconcile daily POS sales, cash, card payments and delivery aggregator settlements (Talabat, Deliveroo, Noon, etc.).
• 7. Support payroll, employee records, WPS coordination and other accounting-related compliance requirements.
• 8. Maintain organized financial records and coordinate audits, tax documentation and regulatory requirements.
• 9. Work onsite with the restaurant team, assist the manager at the order counter during rush hours and provide other reasonable operational support when required.
• WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Proven accounting experience, preferably in restaurants, catering or F&B.
• Good knowledge of UAE VAT, Corporate Tax and accounting compliance.
• Comfortable with Excel, accounting software and POS systems.

• COMPENSATION
• AED 2,000 fixed monthly salary.

This is a full-time, onsite position, combining accounting responsibilities with operational support. Please apply only if you are comfortable with the salary, working schedule and the full scope of responsibilities.
