ABOUT RED CONSULTING

Red Consulting is a Dubai-based business consultancy specializing in UAE company formation, residency solutions, banking coordination, and ongoing compliance support for entrepreneurs and international business owners operating in the UAE. We work with a growing portfolio of Free Zone companies, helping founders navigate everything from initial setup to long-term operational compliance — including Corporate Tax, VAT, and financial reporting.

Our team is lean, execution-focused, and operates at the intersection of consulting and real business operations. We are now looking for a detail-oriented, UAE-experienced accountant to join us on a full-time remote basis.

THE ROLE

As our in-house accountant, you will manage the financial operations of Red Consulting's own entities alongside a select portfolio of external client companies. You will work directly with the co-founders, contribute to both internal financial health and client deliverables, and serve as the primary accounting point of contact for a growing client base.

This is a hands-on role. You will be doing the work — not supervising it.
