About the Role

VAT and corporate tax compliance across a varied client base — law firms, clinics, real estate, IT, F&B, foreign branches and startups — plus three specialist areas: QFZP advisory, corporate tax/VAT health checks, and HNWI asset-structuring tax. Built around a clear pathway to dual FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and Corporate Tax) and growing credibility with the Federal Tax Authority over time.

What You'll Actually Be Doing

Core VAT & corporate tax compliance

● Prepare and review VAT and corporate tax filings across a varied client base — legal, healthcare, beauty and aesthetic, real estate, IT, F&B, foreign branches and startups

● Support e-invoicing readiness as it becomes mandatory across client segments

● Advise on the tax implications of company setup and structuring for new market entrants and startups

QFZP advisory

● Assess whether a client's activities, income, free zone and operational substance meet Qualifying Free Zone Person requirements

● Document eligibility positions and flag substance or evidence gaps before they become a compliance risk

● Support clients through an FTA review or audit of their QFZP position where required

Corporate tax & VAT health checks

● Independently review a client's existing tax returns, filings and positions (typically businesses around AED 50M in revenue) to surface hidden exposure or improvement opportunities

● Prepare clear, senior-ready findings and remediation recommendations

● Support the Q3–Q4 corporate-tax health-check cycle, and respond to VAT-driven reviews as they arise year-round

HNWI asset-structure tax & compliance

● Work alongside the client's law firm to design the tax-efficient side of a new or migrating asset-holding structure (ADGM, DIFC or DMCC)

● Establish and maintain the accounting, tax and annual filing framework for the structure once it's in place

● Update the structure's tax and reporting position as assets, investments or operating companies are added

FTA relationship & compliance

● Prepare and review UAE VAT and Corporate Tax filings, registrations, deregistrations and refund claims

● Prepare responses to FTA queries, audits, assessments and voluntary disclosures, working with clients and their advisors — Simply Solved's role is technical preparation and guidance, not formal on-the-record representation of the client

● Maintain compliance with Federal Decree-Law No. 47 of 2022 and related Cabinet/Ministerial Decisions

● Build genuine working relationships with FTA resources and personnel — this is a real part of the job's value to Simply Solved, not a side effect of certification

Certification & growth

● Work toward dual FTA Tax Agent certification — VAT and Corporate Tax — with firm support for exam preparation and CPE

● Take on progressively more advisory-led work, and potentially direct client ownership, as certification and experience develop

What We Need

Must-have

● 2–6 years UAE experience in a professional-services or advisory environment — tax advisory, tax compliance, or accounting with direct tax exposure.

● Direct FTA interaction — registrations, filings, queries or audits

● Real customer-service and project-management experience, not technical skill alone — this role represents Simply Solved to clients and to the FTA

● Eligible and committed to pursuing dual FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and Corporate Tax)

● Can explain a tax position to a non-technical client, not only in a technical memo

Nice-to-have

● Already holds or working towards FTA Tax Agent certification (VAT and/or Corporate Tax)

● ACCA, CPA, CA, CTA or CMA

● Prior experience with QFZP assessments, free-zone structuring, or HNWI/family-office clients specifically

● Comfort taking on Account-Manager-style client ownership over time

How We'll Know It's Working

● Accuracy and timeliness of filings and FTA submissions

● Number of QFZP or health-check engagements delivered to a senior-ready standard

● Progress toward dual FTA Tax Agent certification

● Client and Account Manager satisfaction with technical clarity and responsiveness

Who Thrives Here

Someone who wants a genuine long-term UAE tax advisory career, not a transitional stop — with the analytical rigor to build a defensible position, the communication skill to explain it plainly, and the client-facing maturity of someone who's worked in professional services rather than only in-house. Not a fresh graduate — this role needs credibility from day one — and not simply a senior hire for seniority's sake; adaptability to a fast-moving consultancy environment matters as much as experience. Bachelor's degree in Accounting, Finance or Tax expected.
