Bookkeeper, Ventures

8FLAMEZ Ventures

Dubai, hybrid | Full-time | ADGM Ventures team

We want the books ready before anyone asks for them.

WHO ARE WE?

8FLAMEZ is a creator management company + venture studio, co-founded by AboFlah. We build businesses with leading creators across MENA, with creators owning what they build. We’re hiring a dedicated bookkeeper to keep the Ventures business + its portfolio companies accurate, organized and up to date.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

You will own the day-to-day bookkeeping across our ventures. We need to know what came in, what went out, what is owed + what needs attention, without reconstructing the numbers every month.

• Maintain separate, accurate books for the Ventures entity + each portfolio company, with every transaction recorded against the correct business.
• Reconcile bank accounts, cards, online store sales + payment gateways, including fees, refunds, chargebacks and settlement differences.
• Manage customer + supplier invoices, follow up on missing documents and overdue balances, and prepare payment schedules for approval.
• Maintain inventory + product-cost records with the operations team, and reconcile approved supplier, creator and platform payouts.
• Record intercompany transactions + approved cost allocations, with supporting documents and matching balances on both sides.
• Prepare monthly profit and loss, balance sheet + cash reports for review. Keep reconciliations current rather than leaving the work until month-end.
• Organize the records needed for tax filings + audits, working with our finance team and external advisers. Flag errors, duplicate payments and unexplained balances early.

GOT WHAT IT TAKES?

You’re borderline meticulous about records, reconciliations + getting the numbers right.

• You have personally managed bookkeeping + month-end work for multiple businesses. E-commerce, inventory or consumer-product experience is particularly relevant.
• You are confident with Xero, QuickBooks, Zoho Books or an equivalent accounting system, alongside Excel or Google Sheets.
• You have practical experience preparing UAE VAT records + supporting accountants through reporting and filing cycles. ADGM company experience is an advantage.
• You follow missing documents through to resolution, handle sensitive information discreetly + explain issues clearly. Fluent English is required. Arabic is a strong advantage, but not essential.

🚀 WHAT WE OFFER

• Build the financial foundations of a portfolio of creator-led businesses, rather than maintain one narrow set of accounts.
• Work closely with the founders + finance team, with clear responsibility for the quality of the books.
• Help establish simple, reliable processes that the Ventures business can keep using as it grows.

Tell us about the businesses you have kept books for and one difficult reconciliation or month-end issue you personally resolved. Include your current location + notice period.
