Accounts Executive – UAE Client Portfolio
Imperial Group | Kanpur, India (on-site) | Full-time
Imperial Group is growing its overseas client accounting practice and is looking for an Accounts Executive to independently manage a portfolio of Middle East clients — handling their day-to-day accounting, coordinating audits, and staying on top of UAE tax compliance. You'll work out of our Kanpur office while serving clients based in the UAE, with direct, hands-on exposure to UAE VAT and Corporate Tax.
About Imperial Group
Imperial Group provides accounting, audit support, and tax compliance services to a portfolio of overseas clients, including businesses based in the UAE and the wider Middle East. Our India-based team works as an extension of these clients' finance functions, which means accuracy, ownership, and clear communication matter as much as technical skill.
About the Role
Twelve months in, you'll be running the books for your own client portfolio end-to-end — monthly closes, audit coordination, and VAT/Corporate Tax filings — with working fluency in UAE tax regulations. Clients will see you as their go-to point of contact, and you'll be raising issues before they become problems rather than after.
What You'll Do
- Own end-to-end bookkeeping and monthly accounts for an assigned portfolio of UAE/Middle East based clients
- Coordinate statutory and external financial audits — preparing schedules, resolving auditor queries, and tracking open items to closure
- Prepare and file UAE VAT returns, and support Corporate Tax computations and filings in line with FTA requirements
- Keep up with changes in UAE tax law and translate them into compliance actions for your clients
- Act as the primary point of contact for your clients — communicating clearly in written and spoken English
- Reconcile accounts, prepare MIS and financial reports, and flag discrepancies proactively
- Work with the Kanpur team and Imperial Group leadership on client onboarding and process improvements
What We're Looking For
Required
- Semi-qualified (CA-Inter) or Qualified Chartered Accountant
- Hands-on experience in accounting, audit, or tax compliance work
- Working knowledge of UAE VAT, and a genuine interest in learning UAE Corporate Tax in depth
- Excellent English reading and writing skills, with confident verbal communication
- Comfortable managing multiple clients and deadlines at the same time
- Proficiency with standard accounting software (e.g. Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or Xero)
Preferred
- Prior experience serving GCC/Middle East clients from an India-based team
- Working knowledge of IFRS
- Experience directly coordinating statutory or external audits
Pay: ₹30,000.00 - ₹50,000.00 per month
Work Location: In person
