 Job Title: Head, Group Financial Planning and Analysis

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
