Job Title: Head of Finance
Location: Abuja (FCT)
Employment Type: Full-time
Candidate Responsibilities
Own all financial planning, budgeting, and cash flow management across pre-launch buildout and steady-state operations.
Control the capital expenditure programme: procurement payments, vendor contracts, FX exposure on international equipment orders, and phased purchasing decisions.
Build and maintain the club’s financial model — membership capacity economics, à la carte revenue, F&B partnership profit share, and non-member revenue streams.
Design and run membership billing and collections for high-value annual contracts, with zero tolerance for friction in the member experience.
Structure and monitor the F&B operator partnership accounting, including profitsplit reconciliation and performance reporting.
Ensure full Nigerian tax, regulatory, and statutory compliance (FIRS, PAYE, pension, CAC filings).
Produce monthly management accounts and investor-facing reporting to a standard that withstands scrutiny.
Establish internal controls, approval workflows, and payroll as the team scales.
Advise the Founder on capital allocation, pricing decisions, and long-horizon financial strategy.
Candidate Requirements
Qualified accountant (ICAN or ACCA) with 6+ years post-qualification experience.
Experience in hospitality, private clubs, healthcare, real estate, or another capex heavy, service-led business strongly preferred.
Hands-on experience managing FX and international supplier payments from Nigeria.
Demonstrated ability to build a finance function from scratch — systems, controls, and reporting — not just operate an existing one.
Fluency with accounting software and financial modelling; you build your own models.
Absolute discretion: you will handle the financial affairs of a business serving Abuja’s most private individuals
Application Closing Date10th August, 2026.
