Full job description

Capital.com is hiring a Director of Finance to own all finance activity across our UAE operations — a region spanning both regulated and non-regulated entities as the business scales in the Middle East. You'll be the senior finance authority for the UAE, carrying direct regulatory exposure and acting as the primary finance counterpart for regulators, auditors, banks and group leadership. This is a hands-on regional leadership role: you'll combine financial control, regulatory reporting, treasury oversight and audit management with the people leadership of a local finance team, giving the UAE business a single point of financial control as it grows.

What you will do:

Own all financial regulatory reporting for the UAE regulated entities, including monthly client money reports, monthly cash flow forecasts and annual regulatory reports to UAE regulators

Lead the consolidation of the UAE entities (currently 5) and prepare group internal management accounts monthly

Direct all treasury activity, including daily cash position monitoring and oversight of daily client money reconciliations in line with applicable UAE regulatory rules

Lead the annual external audits across all UAE entities and own the relationship with external auditors end to end

Own the budget and budget-vs-actual analysis for the UAE region, coordinating business plans with the Group FP&A team

Take responsibility for all finance-related matters in the UAE region — banking, payments and PSP relationships (in collaboration with group e-money and treasury teams), payroll, accounting, bookkeeping and tax

Approve expenses and costs for the region and oversee supplier payments

Support tax planning and ensure tax compliance across both regulated and non-regulated UAE entities

Build and manage relationships with regulators, tax authorities, banks and suppliers

Lead, develop and manage the finance team, including objective setting, performance management and succession planning

What you bring:

ACCA, ACA, CPA or equivalent professional accounting qualification

Senior finance leadership experience within a CFD, forex or online trading brokerage, with hands-on ownership of consolidation, treasury and regulatory reporting across multiple entities

Direct experience with UAE regulatory reporting and client money rules (SCA and/or DFSA/ADGM frameworks)

Proven experience leading external audit relationships end to end, as the primary point of contact for auditors, regulators and banking partners

Strong people leadership experience, having built and managed a finance team through a period of growth

Excellent working knowledge of IFRS and multi-entity consolidation

Nice to have:

Experience spanning both regulated and non-regulated entity structures

Exposure to PSP and e-money relationships

Arabic language skills

Experience coordinating with a Group FP&A function across multiple jurisdictions

What you will get in return:

Competitive Salary: We believe great work deserves great pay! Your skills and talents will be rewarded with a salary that makes you feel valued and motivated.

Work-Life Harmony: Join a company that genuinely cares about you -because your life outside of work matters just as much as your time on the clock.
