About the Company
At Flow, we’re reimagining what it means to live, work, and connect. More than just a real estate company, Flow is a brand, a technology platform, and an operations ecosystem spanning condominiums, hotels, multifamily residences, and office spaces. We’re building a new kind of living experience: one that’s flexible, connected, and designed to create genuine community and real value for the people who call Flow home.
Our mission is oneness: prioritizing our residents and their experiences, and fostering connection with ourselves, their neighbors, and the natural world. By putting people at the center of everything we do, we’re creating vibrant, human-centered communities where life, work, creativity, and play all come together in one place.
About the Role
- We’re hiring an in-country finance leader to own corporate accounting and lead Strategic Finance. You will run month-end close, treasury, audit readiness, and budget-vs-actuals for KSA while being the regional thought leader on planning, unit economics, capital allocation, and financing strategy. You’ll partner with our U.S. Strategic Finance colleague as a peer, but you own MENA: the operating model, forecasts, cash runway, and decision support. This role reports to the MENA COO, is in-office in Riyadh every day, and starts immediately.
Responsibilities
- Corporate Accounting (KSA): Own GL integrity, reconciliations, ≤5-day close, management reporting, and audit prep; deliver monthly budget-vs-actuals with clear variance narratives
- Treasury & Cash: Maintain a 13-week rolling cash-flow updated weekly; optimize working capital, payment controls, and liquidity buffers; manage KSA banking ops, KYC, signatories
- Regulatory & Compliance: Ensure IFRS and SOCPA/ZATCA compliance (VAT, e-invoicing); coordinate external auditors and advisors
- MENA Strategic Finance (Lead): Build and own the driver-based operating model linking unit economics → site P&L → regional consolidation; run annual planning and rolling re-forecast for MENA
- Decision Support & Analytics: Run scenario planning (pricing, staffing, capex, launch cadence); produce a weekly MENA Cash & KPI pack for leadership with actionable insights
- Capital Allocation & Financing Strategy: Frame optimal capital stack for MENA initiatives (equity, project debt, JV/mezz); maintain senior banking relationships and ensure smooth facility administration (no mandate to originate new facilities)
- Cross-Functional Partnering: Translate finance for Ops, Product, and Development; coordinate with Property Accounting to ensure accurate building-level statements flow into KSA/MENA reporting
- Systems & Process: Level up processes and controls across QuickBooks/Sage, Ramp, and Sheets/BI; standardize close, cash, and reporting cadences
- Team Leadership: Coach junior team members; set SLAs; establish “first-principles” playbooks for close, cash, planning, and board-ready materials
Ideal Background
- 8–12 years across corporate accounting and FP&A/strategic finance in high-growth or PE-backed environments
- Professional qualification (CPA/ACCA/CA/SOCPA) with deep IFRS and SOCPA/ZATCA exposure; strong audit and month-end execution
- Hands-on treasury/cash management and comfort stewarding senior KSA banking relationships
- Fluency in English and Arabic; concise, executive-level communication
- Power user of Excel/Google Sheets; strong with QuickBooks or Sage; familiarity with Ramp is a plus
- Proven ability to build models, processes, and controls from scratch; thrives in high speed/high ambiguity
- Nice to have: coordination with property accounting, development pro-formas, real estate/ops/prop-tech exposure
