About Vyssor
Vyssor is a Dubai based corporate services firm helping founders and companies set up and operate in the UAE. We support clients across incorporation, visas, and ongoing financial compliance, with accounting as a core service line.
We are founder led, service driven, and remote first. Our reputation is built on accuracy, clear documentation, and hitting every deadline. We operate at pace, with a lean team, clear ownership, and high trust.
About the role
The Accounting Operations Lead owns the delivery and quality of bookkeeping and accounting compliance for Vyssor and its clients. This role ensures records are accurate, complete, and audit ready. It also ensures VAT and Corporate Tax obligations are met on time, every time.
This is not a transactional finance role only. It is a compliance execution and control role. You will enforce standards, lead the accounting team, and prevent problems before they hit deadlines.
Reporting line: CEO
Scope: Client bookkeeping oversight, VAT and Corporate Tax filings, internal accounting compliance, team leadership, process control, tooling and visibility.
About you
You are structured, deadline obsessed in a healthy way, and allergic to messy books. You know how UAE compliance works in the real world, not just in theory. You lead through clear standards, tight follow up, and calm execution.
You can manage a portfolio, manage a team, and manage risk. You communicate clearly with founders and non finance stakeholders, without turning it into a lecture. You protect scope, protect quality, and protect the business from compliance surprises.
Top 5 objectives:
- Bring full visibility to all client and internal compliance deadlines: Create or clean a single source of truth for VAT and Corporate Tax calendars, filings, and dependencies.
- Raise bookkeeping quality to audit ready standards across the portfolio: Implement review routines, checklists, and minimum documentation standards. Eliminate recurring errors.
- Stabilize VAT and Corporate Tax execution: Ensure every filing is prepared, reviewed, and submitted on time. Build a repeatable workflow with clear handoffs.
- Standardize client dossiers and SOPs: Create consistent folder structures, naming conventions, audit trails, and SOPs across client types and free zones.
- Improve team execution speed without quality loss: Clarify roles, priorities, and escalation paths. Coach the team. Build accountability and reduce bottlenecks.
