About Us
We're an ultra-premium health performance company serving elite founders and UHNW individuals globally. We install biological operating systems - combining world-class physicians, functional medicine, biohacking, and direct access to our founder's network.
We are scaling rapidly and we need someone who can build and own the financial infrastructure of a high-growth company operating out of a UAE Free Zone. This is not a junior role. We need a finance professional who has done this before β end-to-end, in the UAE, with the compliance and complexity that comes with it.
The Role
You will own the entire finance function and build it out from the ground up. That means hiring, structuring the accounting team, implementing the right systems, establishing financial controls, and ensuring every department is operating within clear financial guidelines.
You report directly to the founder. Your work influences every major business decision. If you want a role where finance sits at the center of strategy - not in the back office - this is it.
What You'll Own
UAE Compliance & Tax
Full ownership of UAE VAT compliance - filing, reporting, and ensuring company-wide adherence
Maintain compliance with Meydan Free Zone financial regulations and all applicable UAE financial law
Liaise with external auditors, consultants, and regulatory bodies as needed
Ensure audit-ready financial documentation at all times
Accounting & Financial Controls
Oversee and manage the full accounting function - AP, AR, reconciliation, payroll, and reporting
Build and enforce accounting policies and financial controls across the company
Ensure every team member and department is adhering to established financial procedures
Manage multi-currency transactions across Wio Bank, Mercury, and Wise
Review and approve invoices, contractor payments, and client billing
Team Building
Identify gaps in the finance function and hire accordingly - accountants, bookkeepers, or financial analysts as the company scales
Train and manage the finance team, setting clear KPIs and standards
Build a finance department that operates independently and to a world-class standard
Financial Planning & Reporting
Produce monthly P&L statements, cash flow reports, and financial summaries for the founder
Build and maintain a rolling 3β12 month financial forecast
Develop financial models for new service lines, pricing strategies, and growth scenarios
Identify cost inefficiencies proactively and surface savings opportunities
Systems & Infrastructure
Select, implement, and manage the right accounting software for the business (QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, or equivalent)
Build scalable financial infrastructure that can support 10x growth
Ensure clean, structured data that enables fast, accurate reporting at any time
What We're Looking For
Non-Negotiables
3β5 years of experience in financial management, senior accounting, or as a financial specialist
Mandatory: proven, hands-on experience with UAE VAT compliance and filing

Experience owning or significantly contributing to a full finance function
Track record of building or managing a finance/accounting team
Proficiency in accounting software (QuickBooks, Xero, Zoho Books, or equivalent ERP)
Multi-currency account management experience

Excellent written English - all reports must be founder-ready
Strong Preference For
CPA, ACCA, CMA, CA, or equivalent professional qualification
Experience working in a UAE Free Zone company (Meydan, DIFC, DMCC, or similar)
Direct reporting to a founder or C-suite

This Role Is Not For You If
You have never dealt with UAE VAT compliance first-hand
You've only worked in one part of the finance function, not owned it end-to-end
You're not comfortable building systems and teams from scratch
You need detailed instructions to do your job
You treat finance as a back-office function rather than a strategic one
Why Join Us
Own the entire finance function with a direct line to the founder
Build a finance team from the ground up β real ownership, real impact
Clear and fast path to CFO as the company scales
Remote with full flexibility
Competitive compensation based on experience
