Job Purpose

At Emirates Group, we connect the world through our global hub in Dubai, ensuring our customers always ‘Fly Better.’ As one of the most recognised and admired brands globally, we’re driven by innovation and excellence. Join us as an Accountant and play a key role in driving financial strategy and decision-making for a global business. Experience a fast-paced, multicultural environment where your financial expertise will be central to shaping the future of aviation while making a meaningful impact on a global stage.


As an Accountant, you will ensure the timely processing, accounting, and payment of supplier invoices, incentives, and refunds. You will carry out the processing and reconciliation of sales, revenue recognition, interline transactions, and non-airline partner billings, providing assurance of completeness and accuracy through internal controls and review.

You will identify discrepancies through audits, raise under-collections, investigate movements in balances, and ensure accurate reconciliations with minimal exceptions and adjustments. You will manage a team of SAAs, monitoring their performance, productivity, and effectiveness within the designated section (non-airport, including IFS, or airport areas) in cash management and other customer service functions.

You will analyze and report on flight revenue yields, ensure all functional units are aligned with the Quality Management System, and update Financial Shared Services (FSS) master data accurately and in a timely manner. Additionally, you will compile, monitor, and follow up on accounting and control reports from outstations, validating their contents through appropriate analysis.


In this role, you will:

  • Analyse and interpret the incentive agreements (cargo and passenger) correctly to verify, calculate, and release payments accurately within agreed contracted period/SLA across the network.
  • Process payments of Over Riding Commission (ORC) to General Sales Agents (GSA)/Passenger Sales Agents (PSA) in line with the payment clause of the GSA agreement thereby ensuring accuracy of ORC being released after making necessary deductions within the contracted timelines.
  • Review processes, analyze high-risk areas, handle quality checks, and ensure the adequate maintenance of prevention and detection controls to guarantee completeness, timeliness of processing, accounting, billing, and accuracy of computation and settlement.
  • Resolve disputes, queries, and discrepancies with internal and external stakeholders.
  • Identify improvement areas and actively participate in projects, system enhancement testing, and process changes to acquire in-depth knowledge and enhance business processes.
  • Check the integrity of system interfaces and the completeness of data generated. Provide support on key processes and deliverables in the absence of the Finance Officer, and assist the Finance Officer/Controller in month-end closing reviews by investigating movements in balances to ensure the quality and accuracy of reporting, and to minimize month/year-end adjustments.
  • Provide data analytical support for Management Information Systems (MIS), KPIs, and revenue protection.
  • Reconcile sales, revenue, and miscellaneous-related control, accrual, and clearing accounts with minimal exceptions and adjustments; highlight discrepancies and investigate movements in balances.

You’ll have an edge if you have:

  • Contract interpretation accounting knowledge, preferably from an airline background
