Numbers tell the story of an organisation. But in government finance, those numbers carry a different weight. They reflect public trust, regulatory compliance, and the kind of accountability that leaves no room for error. Reach Group, a diversified UAE powerhouse within the IHC conglomerate, is recruiting a Bookkeeper on behalf of an Abu Dhabi government entity. This is a role for a Chartered Accountant who understands that precision is not just a professional standard. It is a public responsibility.

You will be responsible for recording payments, revenues, and petty cash transactions with complete accuracy. You will enter financial data into the accounting system, maintain supporting documentation, and ensure that every transaction is properly authorised and recorded. You will assist in preparing financial reports, support monthly reporting cycles, and provide forecast reports when required. This role requires someone who is comfortable working within established financial controls, including ICOFR and control assessments, and who can ensure that all documentation meets the highest standards of completeness and accuracy.

The ideal candidate is a Chartered Accountant (CA) with a Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field. You have a minimum of ten years of relevant accounting experience, with at least three years in the UAE. You have strong practical knowledge of IFRS and experience with accounting systems and financial transactions. You are detail-oriented, reliable, and capable of working independently within a structured government finance environment.

This is a full-time, on-site position based in Abu Dhabi. The role is outsourced through Reach Group on a one-year renewable contract. The salary range is AED 15,000 to AED 18,000 per month.

Salary:
AED 15,000 – 18,000 per month

Send your updated CV to christian.soriano@reachgroup.ae with the job title in the subject line. Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted.
To make your application stand out, be specific about your experience with IFRS and ICOFR, as these are central to the role. In your cover letter, describe a time you identified and resolved a financial discrepancy, showing your attention to detail and your understanding of financial controls. If you have experience working in government or large-scale corporate finance environments, highlight that, as it demonstrates your ability to navigate complex reporting structures. Finally, confirm your CA qualification and your years of UAE experience, as these are mandatory requirements for the position.
