Job description

About Birdie Advisory

Birdie Advisory FZE LLC is a UAE-based consultancy providing strategic, marketing, creative and operational support services to a portfolio of clients. Our finance function delivers accurate, reliable accounts administration on behalf of those clients, allowing them to focus on growing their businesses while we handle the detail.

Main Purpose of the Role

To manage the day-to-day purchase and sales ledger activities for client accounts. The role ensures supplier invoices are processed accurately and paid once queries are resolved, and that customer invoices are raised, issued and reconciled on time. The Finance Administrator helps Birdie meet agreed service levels and internal performance targets across the client portfolio.

Working Hours

This is a home-based role within the UAE. Because Birdie provides services to UK-based clients, working hours are aligned to the UK business day rather than standard UAE hours.

The standard working window is 12:00pm to 8:00pm (UAE / Dubai time), Monday to Friday. These hours are set to overlap with the UK business day (approximately 8:00am to 5:00pm UK time). Hours remain the same year-round; occasional flexibility may be needed to cover the full UK working day during UK winter months. You are expected to be available, responsive and able to complete tasks promptly throughout these hours.

Skills

Key Responsibilities

Share responsibility for the accounts inbox, including issuing supplier remittances, responding to queries, and escalating issues to the wider team when required.
Operate the purchase ledger accurately and efficiently: process supplier invoices, verify invoice details against system records, and resolve any discrepancies.
Raise purchase orders for approval as and when required.
Liaise with client contacts and internal team members to investigate and resolve purchase invoice queries.
Support the sales ledger by raising and issuing customer invoices and addressing related queries promptly.
Set up and maintain customer and supplier accounts, ensuring all information is accurate and handled in compliance with applicable data protection laws (including UK GDPR where relevant).
Produce ledger and account reports as required by the team or client.
Carry out additional finance-administration duties in support of the wider Birdie team and its clients.

This list is intended as a guide and is not exhaustive.

Person Specification

Experience processing purchase and sales ledgers.
Experience handling supplier and customer queries professionally.
Calm, collected and adaptable, with strong attention to detail.
Good IT skills, including confident use of Microsoft Excel and accounting software.
Comfortable working as part of a service team that supports multiple clients to agreed standards and deadlines.
Able to demonstrate Birdie's values: positive, proactive, dependable, adaptable and determined.
