About Strategic Gears

Strategic Gears is a leading management consulting firm operating across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Qatar, Spain, and the UK. We partner with governments and private-sector leaders to design and deliver strategies that create measurable national and commercial impact. Our Egypt office serves clients across strategy, market intelligence, and advisory engagements throughout the region.

This position carries the day-to-day transactional load of two entities so that the finance function closes on time and on accurate data. It is deliberately weighted towards high-volume data entry and reconciliation, with a structured path into reporting and analysis as the routine work becomes reliable.

We are hiring at junior analyst level rather than bookkeeper level because the work requires someone who understands the accounting behind each entry — able to spot what is wrong, not only where to type it — and who can grow into the analysis this office will need over the next two years.

A. Transaction processing and data entry — the core load

• High-volume entry of AP and AR invoices, payments and receipts into ERPNext, to a daily cut-off.
• Maintain supplier and customer master data and ledgers — accurate, de-duplicated and complete.
• Process expense claims and per diems, checking each against policy before entry.
• Digitise and file supporting documentation so every entry traces back to source within seconds.
• Keep the two entities' books cleanly separated, with no cross-contamination between Egypt and KSA records.

B. Reconciliation and controls

• Daily bank entry and monthly bank reconciliation across all accounts.
• Operate bank portals, including payment upload, approval routing and status tracking.
• Supplier statement reconciliation and clean-up of aged AP and AR balances.
• Prepare Egyptian VAT and withholding tax records for the external tax agent — records preparation, not filing.
• Support intercompany recharges between Egypt and KSA, including the 50% cost recharge.

C. Reporting and analysis — growing share

• Build and maintain the Excel schedules that support the monthly close.
• Prepare recurring management reports: cost by project, resource utilisation, AP and AR ageing.
• Draft budget-versus-actual variance commentary at cost-centre level.
• Support audit and external requests with clean, referenced, self-explaining workings.
