About Obytes

Obytes is a multi-entity technology group operating across Morocco, Kuwait and the UAE, with a holding company in the Cayman Islands. It builds digital products and platforms for clients worldwide and is currently spinning out OBX, an AI-powered autonomous software engineering platform, as a separate entity. The finance function combines an internal team in Casablanca with external accounting firms in each jurisdiction.

Role purpose

The Group Accounting Manager owns accounting, reporting and financial control across all four entities. This is the operational centre of the finance team: ensuring work is accurate and on time, discrepancies are resolved, and the Chief Financial Officer receives complete, reliable information and well-prepared approvals. This is a review, coordination and control role, not a data entry role.

Key responsibilities

Multi-entity accounting oversight

  • Review monthly deliverables of external firms in Kuwait, the UAE and the Cayman Islands, raising queries and driving corrections to closure

  • Produce monthly budget versus actual analysis with explanations of material variances
  • Maintain a rolling cash flow forecast
Payroll review
  • Review monthly payroll against approved changes, contracts and budget
  • Prepare the monthly payroll summary for CFO approval
  • Ensure payroll is booked and payroll liabilities, including CNSS and IR, are reconciled
Compliance
  • Maintain the group compliance calendar
  • Coordinate tax filings, statutory accounts and audits with external firms and local advisers, and support Moroccan filings (IS, VAT, liasse fiscale)
Team, controls and process improvement
  • Act as first point of contact for routine finance matters
  • Supervise and support the Morocco Accounting Officer and Finance Assistant
  • Ensure every payment, payroll and filing reaches the CFO as a complete approval package
  • Apply the approval matrix and strengthen segregation of duties
  • Standardise closing and reporting, reduce manual work and document processes

Requirements

Required
  • 6 or more years in accounting, including at least 2 years in external audit, a fiduciaire, or multi-entity group finance
  • Proven experience reviewing others' work and managing external accountants or service providers
  • Strong knowledge of Moroccan accounting (CGNC), with working knowledge of IFRS and consolidation
  • Solid understanding of Moroccan tax and payroll (IS, VAT, IR, CNSS), sufficient to review work prepared by others
  • Advanced Excel or Google Sheets; experience with cloud accounting software (Xero preferred)
  • Fluent English and French, written and spoken
  • Highly organised, persistent in follow-up, discreet with confidential information, and confident escalating issues
Nice to have
  • Experience with Gulf or Cayman entities, or with investment or holding company accounting
  • Experience with RemotePass, Deel or BambooHR
  • Arabic
  • Experience in a technology company or startup

Success measures

  • Monthly close completed by working day 15 within 6 months, and by working day 10 within 12 months
  • Monthly management pack delivered on time, with no material restatements
  • All bank accounts and intercompany balances reconciled monthly
  • Zero missed filing deadlines and zero payroll errors reaching employees
