Posted 3 weeks ago

Worldwide

Summary

We are looking for an experienced accountant/bookkeeper who has hands-on experience with Dubai companies and US LLC structures, specifically where a Dubai operating company is combined with a US LLC used for payment processing and sales operations. About Our Structure We currently operate through a Dubai-based company (FZCO) and are in the process of setting up a US LLC. The primary reason for creating the US LLC is to use a US Stripe account and US banking infrastructure. Our customers pay predominantly in USD, and we want to eliminate unnecessary currency conversion and payout costs by moving from a USD → AED → USD flow to a USD → USD → USD flow. The intended structure is: - Dubai company remains the main operating business and IP holder. - US LLC acts as the payment/sales entity. - Customer payments are received through US Stripe into a US bank account. - Funds are transferred to the Dubai company through an appropriate intercompany structure. - The structure must remain compliant and properly documented. What We Need We are looking for someone who: - Has proven experience with US LLC bookkeeping and accounting. - Has experience working with Dubai companies (FZCO, Free Zone entities, holding structures, etc.). - Understands intercompany transactions between a US LLC and a Dubai company. - Understands Stripe, payment processing, online businesses, digital products, coaching businesses, memberships and recurring revenue models. - Can advise on the bookkeeping setup from the start so everything is structured correctly. - Can help determine the best accounting workflow. - Can work alongside our tax advisor and other professionals if needed. - Can support ongoing monthly bookkeeping after the setup phase. Important We are moving quickly and need someone available as soon as possible. I will be heavily involved in the day-to-day administration and bookkeeping support, so I am looking for someone who is comfortable working closely with me during the initial setup phase. I am new to the US LLC side of things and would appreciate someone who is patient, efficient, communicative and willing to explain the structure, processes and bookkeeping requirements clearly. Please Include in Your Proposal 1. Your experience with both US LLCs and Dubai entities. 2. Examples of similar structures you have worked with. 3. Experience with intercompany accounting. 4. Experience with Stripe and online businesses. 5. Your availability over the next 2–4 weeks. 6. Whether you can also assist with ongoing bookkeeping and reporting. We are looking for a long-term relationship with the right person.
