Role Summary

This is a full-time, on-site position in Doha, Qatar. The Senior Accountant – Client Advisory will oversee a portfolio of SME clients and act as a trusted finance advisor for reporting, compliance, and business insight.

This role is not centered on routine bookkeeping. Most transactional accounting is automated, with client data moving through a portal and being processed in an ERP-based system, while reports are produced using analytics tools. The emphasis here is on review, accuracy, control, and advisory support — making sure the figures are reliable and helping clients use financial information to make better decisions.

Key Duties

• Serve as the main finance contact for a set of SME clients and guide them on accounting and advisory matters.
• Check the work completed by data analysts, respond to their technical questions, and help strengthen their capabilities.
• Monitor bank reconciliations, period-end completion, and the accuracy and completeness of client records handled through the platform.
• Examine and approve financial statements and management reports before they are shared with clients.
• Lead monthly discussions with clients to review performance, identify concerns, and explore opportunities for growth.
• Assist with budgeting, forecasting, and cash-flow planning, turning financial data into practical business guidance.
• Support compliance with relevant accounting standards, tax requirements, internal controls, audit needs, and documentation practices.

Candidate Profile

• 3 to 5 years of accounting experience, with prior exposure to review work or mentoring preferred.
• Solid grounding in core accounting tasks such as preparing financial statements, performing reconciliations, and completing period-end close.
• Ability to advise clients or managers and explain financial results in a business-focused way.
• Experience using cloud ERP systems and automated finance workflows, along with advanced Excel and reporting or BI tools.
• Good understanding of accounting standards, internal controls, and audit support requirements.
• Strong analytical ability, problem-solving skills, accuracy, and attention to detail.
• Excellent written and spoken communication skills, including the ability to present financial information to non-finance business owners.
• Bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related discipline; CMA certification is preferred.
• Must already be based in Doha or willing and able to relocate there.
