Specialty CourseFinancial Controller Track
Instructor: Mahmoud Chehade
The step up from senior accountant to Financial Controller: reporting oversight, internal control, forecasting, and the financial governance the role owns.
The Finance Manager and AI Track is our finance manager course for Dubai professionals stepping into the role, or already in it and feeling the ground move. Learners in Dubai join a live online cohort, and companies can bring the track in-company to their Dubai offices for a whole finance team.
These are coaching programs, so the duration above is a guide rather than a fixed timetable. The pace and the number of sessions are set around your current level and how quickly each topic lands, so you finish genuinely able to apply the material rather than simply on schedule.

Dubai businesses have taken up automation and AI tools quickly, and finance teams feel it first: forecasting, reconciliations and reporting that used to take a week now take a fraction of the time, if someone knows how to direct the tools and check what they produce. A Finance Manager here is increasingly judged on that, alongside the planning, budgeting and treasury work the role has always owned.
The track builds the core first: financial planning and analysis, budgets and forecasts with fewer blind spots, treasury and working capital, and management reporting. For a regional headquarters in Dubai reporting across several markets, or a trading business managing cash across borders, those are the decisions that matter. Then you apply AI to real finance tasks, from forecasting accuracy to anomaly and fraud detection.
Learners join a live online cohort from Dubai, studying alongside a full-time role, and companies can take the track in-company at their premises. Mahmoud Chehade spent 30 years leading finance for multi-million-dollar companies across the UAE and the Gulf and teaches in Arabic or English, so AI is treated as a tool for the work rather than a trend to read about.
Our office is in Beirut. Dubai is served through live online cohorts and in-company training delivered at your premises. See all accounting training in Dubai.
In Dubai, the Finance Manager and AI Track costs the program fee shown on this page, covering the whole track rather than a single session. Your plan is shaped around your level and the role you hold or want, so tell us your goal and we will confirm the program and its cost before you commit. Companies in Dubai training a finance team get a tailored rate.
For someone working in Dubai, the multi-week duration on this page is a guide rather than a fixed timetable. Sessions and pace follow your current level and how quickly planning, treasury and the AI material land, so two people can finish at different times. Tell us where you are starting from and we will map a timeline that fits your working week in Dubai.
In Dubai, choose the Finance Manager and AI Track if your job is making sure the numbers are used well, and the Controller track if it is making sure they are right. This track covers planning and analysis, budgeting, treasury, management reporting and AI in forecasting and fraud detection. The Controller track covers reporting oversight, internal control, the close and governance. Tell us your target role in Dubai and we will say which fits.
The finance manager course in Dubai assumes you already work in finance, whether you are moving into a Finance Manager role or already hold one. It is not built for newcomers. Being confident with budgets but new to AI tools, or the reverse, is normal, and the coaching builds that into your plan.
It starts with your actual position in Dubai: your role, your experience and where you want the track to take you. We build around the gaps that matter, so areas you already handle move quickly and the ones holding you back, often the AI tools, get the time they need. That is why the duration is a guide rather than a timetable.
