Job Title: Head, Group FP & A
Location: Remote
Job Purpose
- Builds and owns the Group's FP&A framework, methodology, and reporting standards, giving Group leadership a single, reliable view of financial performance and outlook across the Group's subsidiaries and business units: Moniepoint Nigeria, Moniepoint Kenya, MonieWorld and Moniepoint Technologies.
- This is a framework and consolidation role, not a day to day business unit finance role. Some subsidiaries and markets run their own standalone FP&A team that owns local budgeting, forecasting, and reporting for that business; this role sets the Group standard those teams work within and consolidates their output.
- Wherever a subsidiary or shared function doesn't yet have a dedicated FP&A resource, this role covers it directly. The intent is one Group framework, executed locally wherever a local team exists, with no duplicated effort.
Responsibilities
- Design and own the Group's FP&A framework: forecasting architecture, budget process, and management-reporting standards that every entity works to, including markets that maintain their own standalone FP&A team
- Consolidate entity and BU-level forecasts, including those submitted by markets with their own standalone FP&A team, into a single Group P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow, with a working currency toggle and intercompany eliminations
- Own the annual Group budget calendar and process: templates, timelines, challenge sessions, and Board approval, without taking over the local budget-building work each entity's own finance team already does
- Produce the consolidated Group forecast (2026-28 and beyond), reconciled monthly to actuals, with a clear bridge explaining variances
- Work closely with the Group Financial Controller so actuals, the consolidation, and the forecast reconcile cleanly month to month, and closing timelines support the reporting calendar
- Run the monthly and quarterly reporting cycles at Group level: consolidated management accounts, Board packs, and investor-grade reporting
- Build and maintain the Group's KPI and unit-economics framework, and ensure it is applied consistently across every entity's finance team, whether that entity has its own dedicated resource or is covered directly by this role
- Partner with BU CFOs / finance leads (Moniepoint Nigeria, Moniepoint Kenya, Moniepoint Technologies, MonieWorld) as the standard-setter and consolidator, leaving day-to-day local execution with them
- Lead scenario and sensitivity modelling for Group-level strategic decisions: new market entry, capital raises, new market expansion, licence applications etc.
- Set and enforce FP&A style and modelling standards across the Group (structure, formatting, sign-off, version control)
- Manage and develop the Group FP&A Analysts covering the subsidiaries and markets without a dedicated resource, plus central shared services
Candidate Requirements
- 8-10+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or investment banking, including experience building forecasting frameworks from scratch
- Proven experience consolidating multi-entity, multi-currency forecasts and management accounts
- Background in banking, fintech, or another regulated, fast-growth environment
- Advanced financial modelling skills (Excel at architect level); comfortable owning a model spanning multiple entities and currencies
ACA / ACCA / CFA or equivalent
- Proven ability to operate effectively as a remote, senior finance leader across time zones and geographies
Preffered Qualifications:
- Experience in a high-growth African or emerging-markets fintech or bank
- Prior exposure to Board and investor reporting at Group level
- Familiarity with planning/consolidation tooling (NetSuite, Aleph, Pigment or similar) beyond Excel
- Experience standing up FP&A functions or frameworks during a scale-up phase, including defining where a Group function ends and in-country teams begin
About you:
- You think in frameworks. You build the system once, properly, rather than patching it every quarter
- You're comfortable holding a multi-entity, multi-currency picture in your head and explaining it simply to the CFO and Board
- You know the difference between setting the standard and doing the work. You'd rather make each market's FP&A team excellent within a shared framework than take their work off them
- You push back on numbers that don't reconcile, and you don't sign off until they do
- You're a strong people manager. You can direct analysts and get consistent, house-standard output from a small team
- You communicate in writing the way you model: structured, precise, no padding
- You operate well remotely: proactive, well-organised, comfortable driving a Group-wide process without being in the room
What success looks like
- Group forecast is reconciled to actuals monthly, with variances explained within an agreed tolerance
- Management, board and investor reporting are delivered on time, every cycle, without late-stage rework
- Budget process runs to a fixed calendar with BU sign-off, with no material off-cycle changes
- BU finance leads use the Group model and house standards as their working framework, not a parallel one
- CFO and Group CEO treat the FP&A output as the single source of truth for decision-making.
