Accountant Full Time

About the job
Arcab is a technology-enabled bus aggregator that empowers fleet owners to make more money by increasing the utilization of their vehicles. We are tackling the 250B$ MENA market for moving people and things. We are growing rapidly working with the largest fleet operators in the region with thousands of vehicles in our supply pool. We show fleet operators that you don’t need more vehicles to make more money. By sharing the fixed costs of vehicles, we’re able to increase revenues for fleet operators, decrease costs for corporations, and provide a great user experience for the end user. arcab has received backing and support from global and regional investors and is part of leading accelerators and incubators in the region such as HUB71 (Mubadala, SoftBank, ADGM) and Dubai Future Accelerators (by Dubai Future Foundation).

Why arcab

You have no idea what’s possible until you’ve worked here. Yup, bold statement; because arcab is not yesterday’s bus company. We’re also not a trillion dollar corporation or rich in legacy. But we got heart (and a bit of cash). Heart to build what we love and fulfill one mission of ours — to make the world move together. Easy? We thought it would be, but it’s not.

We have work to do. First, enable communities of people to get to places that matter to them, tell people that their cars are no good for everyday use (good luck with that), and fill every empty seat. Second, make way for less crowded roads, then use roads to introduce other consumer services like never before. Third, we don’t even know yet.

It is likely that this job post was sent or shared with you. It is also likely that you’re reading this while working at that corporate you’ve always wanted to be with. But wait, take a minute. Breathe in, breathe out. There is so much here to learn, build and be responsible for. So, if you got what it takes, that blue button down there must be really important.
