The posting

About the Role

VAT and corporate tax compliance across a varied client base — law firms, clinics, real estate, IT, F&B, foreign branches and startups — plus three specialist areas: QFZP advisory, corporate tax/VAT health checks, and HNWI asset-structuring tax. Built around a clear pathway to dual FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and Corporate Tax) and growing credibility with the Federal Tax Authority over time.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Core VAT & corporate tax compliance

Prepare and review VAT and corporate tax filings across a varied client base — legal, healthcare, beauty and aesthetic, real estate, IT, F&B, foreign branches and startups

Support e-invoicing readiness as it becomes mandatory across client segments

Advise on the tax implications of company setup and structuring for new market entrants and startups

QFZP advisory

Assess whether a client's activities, income, free zone and operational substance meet Qualifying Free Zone Person requirements

Document eligibility positions and flag substance or evidence gaps before they become a compliance risk

Support clients through an FTA review or audit of their QFZP position where required

Corporate tax & VAT health checks

Independently review a client's existing tax returns, filings and positions (typically businesses around AED 50M in revenue) to surface hidden exposure or improvement opportunities

Prepare clear, senior-ready findings and remediation recommendations

Support the Q3–Q4 corporate-tax health-check cycle, and respond to VAT-driven reviews as they arise year-round

HNWI asset-structure tax & compliance

Work alongside the client's law firm to design the tax-efficient side of a new or migrating asset-holding structure (ADGM, DIFC or DMCC)

Establish and maintain the accounting, tax and annual filing framework for the structure once it's in place

Update the structure's tax and reporting position as assets, investments or operating companies are added

FTA relationship & compliance

Prepare and review UAE VAT and Corporate Tax filings, registrations, deregistrations and refund claims

Prepare responses to FTA queries, audits, assessments and voluntary disclosures, working with clients and their advisors — Simply Solved's role is technical preparation and guidance, not formal on-the-record representation of the client

Maintain compliance with Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and related Cabinet/Ministerial Decisions

Build genuine working relationships with FTA resources and personnel — this is a real part of the job's value to Simply Solved, not a side effect of certification

Certification & growth

Work toward dual FTA Tax Agent certification — VAT and Corporate Tax — with firm support for exam preparation and CPE

Take on progressively more advisory-led work, and potentially direct client ownership, as certification and experience develop

What We Need

Must-have

2–6 years UAE experience in a professional-services or advisory environment — tax advisory, tax compliance, or accounting with direct tax exposure.

Direct FTA interaction — registrations, filings, queries or audits

Real customer-service and project-management experience, not technical skill alone — this role represents Simply Solved to clients and to the FTA

Eligible and committed to pursuing dual FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and Corporate Tax)

Can explain a tax position to a non-technical client, not only in a technical memo

Nice-to-have

Already holds or working towards FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and/or Corporate Tax)

ACCA, CPA, CA, CTA or CMA

Prior experience with QFZP assessments, free-zone structuring, or HNWI/family-office clients specifically

Comfort taking on Account-Manager-style client ownership over time

How We'll Know It's Working

Accuracy and timeliness of filings and FTA submissions

Number of QFZP or health-check engagements delivered to a senior-ready standard

Progress toward dual FTA Tax Agent certification

Client and Account Manager satisfaction with technical clarity and responsiveness

Who Thrives Here

Someone who wants a genuine long-term UAE tax advisory career, not a transitional stop — with the analytical rigor to build a defensible position, the communication skill to explain it plainly, and the client-facing maturity of someone who's worked in professional services rather than only in-house. Not a fresh graduate — this role needs credibility from day one — and not simply a senior hire for seniority's sake; adaptability to a fast-moving consultancy environment matters as much as experience. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Tax expected.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
