Finance Officer – DIFC | DFSA-regulated firm

Regulatory Responsibilities

• Preparing and submitting DFSA regulatory filings, including PIB returns and audited financial statements
• Monitoring regulatory capital adequacy and ensuring ongoing compliance with DFSA requirements
• Assisting with FATCA and CRS classifications and submissions
• Preparing and submitting VAT returns (UAE regulations)
• Ensuring accurate segregation and reconciliation of Client Money Accounts
• Maintaining and updating the DFSA Master List
• Supporting external audits and coordinating with auditors

Operational Responsibilities

• Preparing monthly management accounts and quarterly investor reports (NAVs, capital accounts)
• Managing vendor payments, reimbursements, and tracking cash flow
• Performing reconciliations, reviewing expense claims, supporting AP
• Preparing and following up on invoices and confirming payments
• Budgeting and forecasting (models and variance analysis)
• Preparing financial materials for Board meetings and KPI tracking

Additional Support
You may occasionally assist in reviewing financial models or memos related to new investment opportunities — but this will be ad hoc and not core to the role.

This is a hands-on position in a lean, high-performing team. Accuracy, independence, and familiarity with DFSA/DIFC/UAE regulations are essential.
