<p><strong><span>About Strategic Gears</span></strong></p><br>
<p><span>Strategic Gears is a leading management consulting firm operating across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Spain, and the UK. We partner with governments and private-sector leaders to design and deliver strategies that create measurable national and commercial impact. Our Egypt office serves clients across strategy, market intelligence, and advisory engagements throughout the region.</span></p><br> <br><br><p><b>About the Role</b></p><br><p>This position carries the day-to-day transactional load of two entities so that the finance function closes on time and on accurate data. It is deliberately weighted towards high-volume data entry and reconciliation, with a structured path into reporting and analysis as the routine work becomes reliable.</p><br>
<p>We are hiring at junior analyst level rather than bookkeeper level because the work requires someone who understands the accounting behind each entry — able to spot what is wrong, not only where to type it — and who can grow into the analysis this office will need over the next two years.</p><br>
<br><br><p><b>Responsibilities </b></p><br><p><strong><span>A. Transaction processing and data entry — the core load</span></strong></p><br>
<ul>
<li>High-volume entry of AP and AR invoices, payments and receipts into ERPNext, to a daily cut-off.</li>
<li>Maintain supplier and customer master data and ledgers — accurate, de-duplicated and complete.</li>
<li>Process expense claims and per diems, checking each against policy before entry.</li>
<li>Digitise and file supporting documentation so every entry traces back to source within seconds.</li>
<li>Keep the two entities' books cleanly separated, with no cross-contamination between Egypt and KSA records.</li>
</ul><p><strong><span>B. Reconciliation and controls</span></strong></p><br>
<ul>
<li>Daily bank entry and monthly bank reconciliation across all accounts.</li>
<li>Operate bank portals, including payment upload, approval routing and status tracking.</li>
<li>Supplier statement reconciliation and clean-up of aged AP and AR balances.</li>
<li>Prepare Egyptian VAT and withholding tax records for the external tax agent — records preparation, not filing.</li>
<li>Support intercompany recharges between Egypt and KSA, including the 50% cost recharge.</li>
</ul><p><strong><span>C. Reporting and analysis — growing share</span></strong></p><br>
<ul>
<li>Build and maintain the Excel schedules that support the monthly close.</li>
<li>Prepare recurring management reports: cost by project, resource utilisation, AP and AR ageing.</li>
<li>Draft budget-versus-actual variance commentary at cost-centre level.</li>
<li>Support audit and external requests with clean, referenced, self-explaining workings.</li>
</ul><br><br><p><b>Qualifications</b></p><br><ul>
<li><strong><span>2–3 years </span></strong>post-graduation experience in accounting or finance, in a role with real transactional ownership.</li>
<li><strong><span>Bachelor's degree </span></strong>in Accounting, Finance or Commerce.</li>
<li><strong><span>Data entry: </span></strong>demonstrated accuracy and throughput on high-volume entry. This is the bulk of the job in year one and will be tested.</li>
<li><strong><span>Accounting: </span></strong>sound double-entry grounding — can explain the journal behind a transaction and identify a misposting without being prompted.</li>
<li><strong><span>Excel: </span></strong>to reconciliation standard — lookups, pivots, SUMIFS, text-to-columns, and structured cleaning of raw system exports.</li>
<li>Arabic native; English written and spoken to business standard, sufficient for reporting to Riyadh.<ul>
<li><strong><span>2–3 years </span></strong>in a management consultancy or professional services firm "Preferred" </li>
<li>ERPNext experience; otherwise a comparable ERP (SAP Business One, Odoo, NetSuite, Dynamics) with a demonstrated ability to learn a new system quickly.</li>
<li>Exposure to a multi-entity or cross-border group, particularly an Egypt–GCC structure.</li>
<li>Working familiarity with Egyptian VAT and withholding tax mechanics.</li>
<li>Part-qualified or actively studying ACCA, CMA or equivalent.</li>
</ul></li>
