The posting
🚀 Welcome to Your Next Adventure!
Snoonu is looking for a Head of Accounting to lead the Group's entire Record-to-Report (R2R) function — the very core of the Finance organization. You will own month-end and year-end closing, Group consolidation, and full IFRS compliance, including business combinations, leasing (IFRS 16), and Capital Work-in-Progress (CWIP), across every Snoonu Group entity. Leading the Financial Accounting and Financial Reporting teams — and working closely with the Chief Accountants, Senior Financial Accountants, Senior Accountants, Senior Payables Accountant, and Senior Specialist – Financial Reporting — you will ensure that every number the business relies on, from board reporting to statutory audit, is accurate, timely, and defensible. This is a senior technical and people-leadership role for someone who wants to build a world-class accounting function capable of scaling with Snoonu's continued expansion across the GCC and beyond.
🛠 What You’ll Get Your Hands On:
- Own the Record-to-Report Function: Lead end-to-end R2R across all Snoonu Group entities — month-end and year-end close, journal governance, trial balance review, and ledger integrity — ensuring the Financial Accounting and Financial Reporting teams deliver a closed, reconciled set of books every cycle.
- Lead Month-End & Year-End Closing: Own the Group close calendar and governance, driving the team toward faster, more reliable close cycles (standalone and consolidated) while maintaining a complete audit trail and supporting documentation.
- Own Group Consolidation: Lead preparation and continuous improvement of the Group consolidation (balance sheet, income statement, retained earnings, and cash flow) across all legal entities, ensuring intercompany eliminations, FX translation, and minority interests are correctly reflected.
- Ensure IFRS Compliance: Act as Snoonu's technical accounting authority, ensuring full Group-wide compliance with IFRS — including revenue recognition (IFRS 15), leases (IFRS 16), financial instruments (IFRS 9), and business combinations (IFRS 3) — and own the Group accounting policy manual.
- Own Business Combinations & M&A Accounting: Lead the accounting for acquisitions, mergers, and new entity formations, including purchase price allocation, goodwill and intangible asset recognition, and integration of acquired financial records into the Group chart of accounts.
- Oversee Leasing & CWIP: Own end-to-end IFRS 16 lease accounting (recognition, remeasurement, and disclosures) and Capital Work-in-Progress governance, ensuring capitalization policies are applied consistently and assets are transferred to use on time.
- Lead Statutory & External Audit: Own the annual audit and quarterly reviews end to end — the single point of accountability for the auditor relationship, audit planning, PBC (prepared-by-client) delivery, and resolution of findings.
- Govern Fixed Assets & Depreciation: Oversee the Group fixed asset register and depreciation policy, including asset system migrations (e.g., to Microsoft Dynamics 365), ensuring accurate capitalization and disposal accounting across all entities.
- Deliver Group & Management Reporting: Own the monthly standalone and consolidated reporting packages and board/CEO reporting, monitoring EBITDA, net profit, liquidity, DPO, and other key financial metrics that inform business decisions.
- Partner on ERP & Finance Transformation: Act as the Record-to-Report business owner for the Microsoft Dynamics 365 migration and the broader finance automation agenda, ensuring the target design meets Group accounting and reporting requirements.
- Lead & Develop the Accounting Organization: Lead, coach, and develop the Chief Accountant, Senior Financial Accountants, Senior Accountants, Senior Payables Accountant, and Senior Specialist – Financial Reporting, building a high-performing, well-coached Record-to-Report team.
- Champion Controls & Process Improvement: Own the internal control framework over financial reporting, and sponsor automation and process-improvement initiatives that reduce manual reporting and settlement workload.
- Act as Finance's Critical Touchpoint: Serve as the primary point of escalation and resolution for accounts, merchant, audit, bank, and payment-partner matters that require senior technical accounting judgment.
🧙♂️ The Magic You Bring:
- Education: Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, with a recognized professional accounting qualification (CPA, ACCA, or CMA) required; fully qualified ACCA/CPA strongly preferred.
- Experience: 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 5+ years in a senior leadership role owning Group consolidation, financial reporting, and statutory audit — Big 4 training combined with in-house Group Controller / Head of Accounting experience is ideal.
- Technical Accounting Mastery: Deep, hands-on expertise in IFRS, including business combinations (IFRS 3), leases (IFRS 16), consolidation (IFRS 10 / IAS 28), and revenue recognition (IFRS 15); demonstrated experience accounting for CWIP and complex capital projects.
- Multi-Entity & Multi-Country Exposure: Experience consolidating and reporting for a multi-entity, multi-country group, ideally across the GCC.
- Systems Knowledge: Strong working knowledge of ERP and consolidation systems (Microsoft Dynamics 365, Odoo, or equivalent) and advanced Excel skills.
- Audit & Governance Leadership: Proven track record owning the external audit relationship and delivering clean, on-time statutory and group audits.
- Leadership: Demonstrated ability to build, lead, and develop a multi-layered accounting team of managers and seniors, with strong talent development and succession planning.
- M&A / Transactions Experience: Experience accounting for acquisitions, business combinations, or corporate restructurings is a strong advantage.
- Automation & Transformation Mindset: Track record of driving ERP, consolidation-tool, or process-automation initiatives that materially reduce manual close effort.
- Stakeholder Management: Confident, credible communicator able to represent Finance's technical accounting position to the CFO, Board, external auditors, and banking partners.
- Adaptability: Comfortable leading in a fast-paced, high-growth environment with evolving systems, entities, and regulatory requirements.
