UAE accounting roles
Accountant Jobs in the UAE
A professional qualification is what sorts UAE accounting applications into shortlists, and only some adverts say so up front: 78 of 223 roles name at least one credential — ACCA in 68, CPA in 60, CMA in 45 — and the rest leave it unstated rather than open, so it is worth reading the description before ruling yourself out. Where you would actually work is just as uneven: Dubai carries 136 of 223 roles, against 52 in Abu Dhabi and 14 in Sharjah. In the 60 days ending 23 Sept 2026, 223 Accountant roles naming a UAE location were collected and deduplicated to one record per application URL, from 185 employers.
