🔥 WE’RE HIRING: ACCOUNTANT (IMMEDIATE START – DUBAI) 🔥

About 8Flamez
We are 8Flamez, the home of the most influential creators in the Middle East. Founded by top-creator AboFlah, we set out to change how to build with talented creators (8flamez.co). We build and invest in exciting startups. We manage talent. We move fast. We expect bold, smart, agile teammates who thrive in a high-growth environment.

The Role
We’re looking for an Accountant who can be the financial backbone of our operations, helping keep our creator and startup-investing arms running smoothly. You’ll join immediately, work hands-on, and own key accounting processes from day one overseeing our in-house book-keeper.

What You’ll Do

1. Maintain day-to-day accounting ledger, record transactions, reconcile accounts, prepare monthly journals and financial statements.
2. Manage accounts payable & receivable: invoices, payments to vendors, creator commissions, and ensure timely processing.
3. Ensure proper bookkeeping and support in audit preparation, tax filings, financial compliance (UAE & region).
4. Work closely with operations, talent, and investment teams to track budget vs actuals, cash-flow forecasting, and ad-hoc reporting.
5. Help build and scale financial systems and processes; we’re growing fast and you’ll help make the infrastructure.
6. Provide accurate, timely financial info and insights to decision-makers, ensuring transparency and control across all business units.

What We Need

1. Based in Dubai. We want someone on the ground, ready to hit the ground running.
2. Proven experience as an accountant (minimum 2-4 years ideally in UAE or a similar fast-paced environment).
3. Strong understanding of UAE accounting standards, compliance obligations, VAT, etc.
4. Fluency in English is required; Arabic is highly desirable given our regional operations.
5. Highly organized, detail-obsessed, comfortable in a startup environment where things change fast. You don’t just “manage”, you anticipate, you take ownership.
6. A team player who thrives in a high-energy culture but also capable of working autonomously and delivering under pressure.
7. Tech-savvy; already familiar with accounting software/tools, and willing to help build scalable systems.

Bonus Points For

• Experience in creative agencies, talent management, media, entertainment or startup investing.
• Experience with forecasting, budgeting for creative/content operations or managing financials across multiple business lines.
• Experience working for a founder-led high-growth business, comfortable in ambiguity and rapid iteration.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of the engine behind the region’s leading creators, with global reach and ambitious growth plans.
• Work from Dubai HQ in Dubai Investment Park 2 (Studio/Office), alongside world-class talent and creators, with access to our studios, creative ecosystem and network.
• Make real impact; our team is small and focused on building at lightning speed
• Fast-moving environment; what you build today can scale tomorrow.
