Do you thrive on precision, possess a deep understanding of international financial frameworks, and are ready for an international challenge that promises both professional growth and a rich cultural experience?
A prominent, industry-leading contracting company, a key player in shaping the infrastructure and skyline of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, is urgently seeking an exceptional Senior Accountant to join its elite finance team in the vibrant capital, Riyadh. This isn't just a job; it’s an opportunity to become an integral part of a company driving Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Vision 2030 transformation.
The Role: Beyond the Ledger
The finance department is the backbone of any successful contracting firm, and as our new Senior Accountant, you will be in a pivotal position. You will be responsible for far more than simple transaction recording; you will be a key contributor to the strategic financial health of major construction projects, ensuring fiscal transparency and operational efficiency across the board.
What You Will Be Doing:
- Financial Reporting Excellence: Taking ownership of the complete financial reporting cycle, ensuring all reports—including monthly, quarterly, and annual statements—are accurate, timely, and fully compliant with IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards). Your IFRS expertise will be crucial in maintaining global standards.
- Project Cost Control: Deep-diving into project expenditures, variance analysis, and budgeting. You will provide critical insights to project managers and senior leadership, helping to optimize resource allocation and profitability on multi-million riyal contracts.
- System Mastery: Utilizing your extensive knowledge of ERP systems (Enterprise Resource Planning) to streamline financial operations, enhance data integrity, and automate reporting processes. Experience with major ERP platforms relevant to the construction industry is highly valued.
- Strategic Analysis: Conducting sophisticated financial analysis, including cash flow forecasting, budget vs. actuals analysis, and identifying potential financial risks and opportunities. Your analytical skills will directly influence executive decision-making.
- Compliance and Audits: Preparing comprehensive documentation for external and internal audits, ensuring adherence to Saudi tax laws, Zakat regulations, and all corporate policies.
Requirements for Senior Accountant
- Experience: Must have 7–10 years of professional accounting experience, specifically within contracting or construction companies.
- Certification: Must hold an IFRS Certificate (International Financial Reporting Standards).
- Technical Skills: Excellent, hands-on knowledge of ERP systems is mandatory.
- Core Competencies: Strong skills in financial reporting and analytical problem-solving.
- Education: A Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance is required.
To get the best possible candidates, consider adding these strategic elements when sharing this post:
- Project Portfolio Highlight: Briefly mention the type of projects the company handles (e.g., "high-rise commercial buildings," "mega-infrastructure projects," "industrial complexes"). This adds excitement and substance to the role.
- Finance Team Culture: Describe the work environment. Is it collaborative? Fast-paced? Does the company invest in continued professional development (e.g., specialized software training, attendance at finance seminars)?
- Interview Process: Briefly outline the process (e.g., "Shortlisted candidates will participate in a two-stage interview process, including a technical assessment.")—this manages applicant expectations.
