Bookkeeper & Administration Assistant
About Furry 🐾
The Furry Group is the fastest-growing premium pet services company in the UAE. We specialise in international pet travel, pet taxi services, and top-tier grooming services.
Our mission: to offer exceptional services for pets and their owners, ensuring the highest standards of care and convenience across the UAE and beyond.
The Role
We are looking for a Bookkeeper & Administration Assistant to be the cornerstone of our internal operations.
This is a hybrid role: primarily focused on accounting and finance, but also supporting general administration, HR, and corporate governance tasks as the business grows.
It’s a unique opportunity for a numbers-driven, highly organised individual who wants to have a real impact in a fast-paced, mission-driven company.
What We Are Looking For 🎯
- Unstoppable motivation: this is a fast-paced role with a heavy workload.
- A true numbers & data wizard: You live and breathe accuracy, and Excel is your playground.
- Exceptional organisation: You can manage multiple deadlines and tasks without missing a beat.
- Stress management and prioritisation: able to move quickly, efficiently, and stay cool under pressure.
- Flawless English communication skills: Written and spoken.
- A true passion for animals: it’s not just a “plus” — it’s a must.
What You Will Do 📝
- Record and maintain financial transactions: Accurately enter invoices, bills, credit notes, and expenses into Zoho Books.
- Bank reconciliation: Regularly reconcile all bank accounts.
- Accounts Payable/Receivable: Manage payments, collections, and customer follow-ups.
- Financial reporting: P&L, Cashflow Statements & Balance Sheet reports from Zoho, but you also will be required to put together & maintain the business’ cashflow projections within Excel.
- HR & Payroll administration: Calculate and process monthly salaries, overtime, bonuses, and manage employee leave tracking.
- Tax Returns: Prepare and submit VAT & Corporate Tax filings on time.
- Legal & Corporate Governance: Manage trade license renewals, NOCs, and basic contract drafting/reviewing.
- General administration: Assist in ad-hoc office and business support tasks as required to ensure operations run smoothly.
What You Need ✅
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree (preferably in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration).
- Excellent English skills (written and spoken).
- Sharp attention to detail and a no-room-for-sloppiness mindset.
- Strong stress management skills and ability to take swift action.
- Outstanding Excel proficiency — VLOOKUPs, pivot tables, conditional formatting, and complex formulas are second nature.
Bonus if you have:
- Audit experience.
- Prior experience working for a UAE business.
Why You Should Join Furry 🌟
- Real career growth opportunities in a booming company.
- A passionate team focused on top-tier service and pet well-being.
- An exciting life and career adventure in dynamic, international Dubai.
- Remote-first position and flexibility for travel
This Job Is NOT for You If… ❌
- You don’t like to be challenged or step outside your comfort zone.
- You struggle with giving or receiving direct feedback.
- You dislike tight deadlines or the fast-paced Dubai lifestyle.
- You need fixed, pre-defined tasks and don’t like taking initiative.
- Your only motivation is finding a (remote) job — we want people truly excited by our mission.
- You’re unwilling to own mistakes, learn from them, and pursue excellence every day.
