Application for the position of Senior Accountant (advertised on LinkedIn)

Dear Ms. Aisha Rahman,

I am writing to apply for the Senior Accountant position advertised on LinkedIn. I am a qualified accountant with eight years of GCC experience in VAT compliance, month-end close and group reporting, and I am currently based in Dubai.

In my current role at Gulf Trading LLC I own the month-end close for three entities and have filed twelve consecutive quarterly FTA VAT returns with no penalties. By rebuilding the reconciliation process I cut close time from nine days to five, which gave the Finance Director reliable numbers a week earlier each month. What draws me to Gulf Retail Group is the scale of your multi-country operation and the move to consolidated IFRS reporting. My SAP FICO experience and hands-on VAT knowledge across the UAE and Saudi Arabia would let me contribute from the first reporting cycle.

I hold a transferable employment visa and can serve a one-month notice period. I would welcome the opportunity to discuss how my experience matches your requirements and am available for an interview at your convenience.
