Accounting Supervisor

Jeeny is a leading mobile application designed to simplify daily commuting and transportation by connecting users with their preferred modes of travel. Established in 2014 as Easy Taxi and rebranded in 2016, Jeeny operates primarily in Saudi Arabia and Jordan, supported by offices in Riyadh, Jeddah, Madinah, Amman, Lahore, and Karachi. As a joint venture between MEIG (Middle East Internet Group), Rocket Internet, and IMENA, Jeeny is committed to making mobility accessible, affordable, and flexible for everyone.

We are seeking an experienced Accounting Supervisor to manage daily accounting operations, ensuring accurate and timely transaction processing while maintaining robust financial controls. This role involves leading a team of accountants, reviewing and approving accounting entries, conducting daily bank reconciliations, and resolving discrepancies promptly to avoid delays in month-end closing. Reporting to the Finance Manager, the supervisor will also ensure compliance with VAT and e-invoicing regulations, maintain audit-ready documentation, monitor team performance, and drive continuous improvements through standardized procedures and automation. The objective is to guarantee that every transaction is properly recorded, supported, reviewed, and reconciled on time.

Key Responsibilities

- Daily Monitoring and Review: Conduct daily completeness checks by comparing bank activity, invoices received, and invoices issued against ERP postings. Review and approve bank reconciliations, investigate unexplained or aging reconciling items, and clear unposted, draft, or parked entries. Verify correct GL coding, cost center allocation, VAT treatment, and supporting documentation for all posted entries. Approve journal entries, credit notes, and adjustments within authority limits.

- Controls and Compliance: Enforce segregation of duties by ensuring preparers and reviewers are different individuals and independently verify vendor master changes. Maintain strict documentation standards, ensuring no entry is processed without full supporting documents. Ensure all invoices and credit notes comply with e-invoicing and VAT regulations. Prepare VAT return workings and monitor for duplicate payments, invoices, or unusual entries. Manage the month-end close checklist and lock prior periods after closing.

- Team Management: Assign ownership of bank accounts, vendors, customers, and entities to individual accountants with clear backup coverage. Conduct daily stand-up meetings to review previous day’s status and open items. Train new accountants on ERP usage, posting standards, and reconciliation procedures, while maintaining SOPs. Track individual KPIs, provide weekly feedback, and lead quarterly performance reviews. Plan leave and coverage to ensure no account remains unreconciled.

- Reporting and Escalation: Provide daily close status updates to the Finance Manager, detailing transactions posted, reconciliations completed, and open items with owners and aging. Escalate any breaches of standards—such as unresolved reconciling items over three business days or missing approvals—immediately. Prepare weekly aging summaries for accounts receivable/payable and suspense accounts.

- Month-End Close and Audit: Lead transaction-related month-end close activities including cut-off, accruals, sub-ledger to GL reconciliations, and balance sheet reconciliations for assigned accounts. Serve as the primary contact for external auditors regarding transaction processing and supporting documentation. Track audit findings to resolution and update controls accordingly.

- Process Improvement: Identify root causes of recurring errors and implement process fixes rather than temporary corrections. Collaborate on automation initiatives such as bank feeds, auto-matching rules, recurring entries, and approval workflows. Maintain a clean and consistent chart of accounts and cost center mapping.

Required Qualifications

- Bachelor’s degree in Accounting or Finance.
- Minimum of 5 years of accounting experience, including at least 1 year in a supervisory or review role overseeing transaction processing teams.
- Advanced, hands-on experience with ERP systems such as Oracle NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, or Odoo. Preference given to candidates familiar with Microsoft Dynamics Business Central 365 and QuickBooks.
- Strong knowledge of IFRS standards.
- Experience in high-volume tech or marketplace environments is advantageous.

Preferred Skills and Attributes

- A meticulous reviewer’s mindset focused on identifying missing information as well as errors.
- Ability to develop and enforce checklists, SOPs, and internal controls.
- Leadership that drives the team to achieve same-day completion of tasks without exceptions.
- Advanced proficiency in Excel and comfort working with ERP reports and data extracts.
- Clear and effective communication skills with team members, business stakeholders, banks, and auditors.
