The posting

CharteredPartners is seeking a Transaction Services Senior Manager to join the corporate finance & advisory practice of a well-established accounting firm in Dubai. You will run financial due-diligence and valuation workstreams end to end, supervising engagement teams and serving as the principal day-to-day client contact across the deal lifecycle. The mandate is set against a growing IPO pipeline, sovereign and family-conglomerate deal flow and cross-border MENA transactions, working within the ADGM and DIFC environments. Specific qualifications, regulatory fluency and technical breadth are detailed in the sections that follow.

Confidential Client. Applying to this position means that you are interested to have an initial confidential discussion about how we can help you to identify and join a new accounting-firm practice. With your authorisation we will exclusively run the entire application and recruitment process for you, keeping you apprised at every step. With over 30 years' combined experience of helping the most talented accounting, audit, tax and advisory professionals to make safe, well-judged moves into rewarding new roles, we have the experience, network and ability to help you.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead financial due-diligence workstreams end to end for buy-side, sell-side and lender engagements, from scoping through to report delivery.
  • Manage business valuations under IFRS, including discounted cash flow, market-multiple and net-asset approaches for transaction and reporting purposes.
  • Support IPO readiness and capital-markets work for DFM and ADX listings, including financial information reviews.
  • Act as the principal day-to-day client contact, coordinating with sponsors, legal advisers and target management.
  • Supervise and develop teams of executives and assistant managers, reviewing analysis and assuring deliverable quality.
  • Analyse quality of earnings, normalised working capital and net debt, translating findings into value and risk implications.
  • Address cross-border MENA deal considerations, reconciling reporting and disclosure differences across jurisdictions.
  • Contribute to proposals and scoping, supporting partners and directors in winning new mandates.

Required Qualifications and Skills:

  • A recognised professional accountancy qualification (ACA, ACCA, CPA, CA or equivalent) in good standing.
  • Substantial post-qualification experience in transaction services, financial due diligence or a closely related corporate finance discipline.
  • Demonstrated track record of running buy-side and sell-side due-diligence engagements from scoping to report delivery.
  • Strong command of valuation methodologies and financial modelling under IFRS.
  • Excellent analytical skills, including quality-of-earnings and working-capital analysis.
  • Familiarity with ADGM and DIFC frameworks and the regional regulatory environment.
  • Awareness of IPO processes on DFM, ADX or comparable regional exchanges.
  • Proven ability to manage, review and develop engagement teams under deal timelines.
  • Confident written and verbal communication, with the judgement to present findings clearly to senior stakeholders.
  • The right to work in the United Arab Emirates or the ability to obtain it.

Preferred Experience:

  • Exposure to sovereign and family-conglomerate transactions in the Gulf region.
  • Experience supporting IPO readiness or capital-markets reviews in the UAE.
  • A track record of cross-border MENA due-diligence engagements.
  • Sector-specialist due diligence in areas such as real estate, energy, financial services or infrastructure.
  • Experience contributing to business development and proposals within an advisory practice.
  • A network within the regional corporate finance and investor community.

Compensation:

Competitive package commensurate with seniority and experience, including base, performance-based bonus, long-term incentives and (where applicable) partner-track participation.

Next Steps:

This opportunity is open to candidates who hold or can obtain the right to work in the United Arab Emirates and who match the above criteria. Please apply to receive prompt contact from an experienced and specialist accounting-firm recruitment consultant.
