Key Responsibilities
Maintain accurate and timely accounting records, including balance sheets, profit & loss statements, and VAT returns.
Manage POS and stock systems (Talabat, Zoho, Shopify, or similar) — ensuring stock counts and movements are accurate and up-to-date.
Handle supermarket-specific accounting: item costing, margins, and tracking daily sales vs. expenses.
Accurately calculate landed cost per unit for imported shipments: converting invoices from foreign currency (AED, THB, USD, etc.) into BHD, allocating freight, clearance, and duties across all products.
Reconcile VAT input and VAT output properly and prepare VAT filings in compliance with Bahrain regulations.
Use advanced Excel to build formulas, automate reports, and streamline accounting processes.
Eliminate manual inefficiencies — build systems that save time and reduce errors.
Collaborate with management to provide clear financial overviews, cost analyses, and profitability insights.
