Assistant Finance Manager

Location: The Opus, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE

Working Arrangement: Onsite

Working Hours: 11:30am to 8:30pm

Reporting to: Head of Finance & Business Operations

Magna Financial is a specialist foreign exchange provider with a strong presence in the UAE, UK, and Spain, whilst also growing across the wider European region, providing services to both Corporate and Private Clients globally. Following the recent acquisition of Mallorca Mortgage Consultancy (MMC), MMC is now part of the Magna Group, further expanding our presence and range of specialist financial services. We combine market expertise with a high-touch, relationship-driven approach and pride ourselves on delivering exceptional service to our clients.

We’re looking for a commercially minded Assistant Finance Manager to join our Dubai team, offering an opportunity to work across group accounting, financial reporting, international finance and wider commercial operations.

Reporting to the Head of Finance & Business Operations, you’ll work closely with senior stakeholders, the founders and external accountants, helping manage the Group’s finances across multiple entities and jurisdictions.

This role goes beyond traditional accounting. Alongside core financial responsibilities, you’ll gain exposure to investment analysis, private financial affairs, taxation, payroll, business strategy and commercial decision making. It’s a varied position for someone who enjoys taking ownership, solving problems and getting involved in the wider business.

• Managing multi entity accounting, month end, year end and group consolidation.
• Preparing management accounts, financial reporting, budgets, forecasts and financial models.
• Working with senior stakeholders and the founders on financial analysis, investment related matters and commercial decisions.
• Coordinating accounting, tax, payroll and regulatory requirements across UK and EU entities.
• Managing external accountants and professional service providers across multiple jurisdictions.
• Overseeing commission and revenue recognition, alongside reporting on business performance and financial trends.
• Supporting wider Group projects, including business licensing, corporate structuring, mergers and acquisitions, valuations and property related matters.
• Taking ownership of ad hoc financial and operational projects as business priorities evolve.

This is an opportunity to step into a broad finance role with visibility across the Group, direct exposure to senior leadership and the founders, and involvement in both financial management and wider business decisions.

You’ll have the scope to contribute beyond the numbers, helping improve financial processes, support commercial strategy and work across a varied range of international and business related matters.

If you’re technically strong, commercially curious, and enjoy an environment where no two days are quite the same, we’d love to hear from you.
