Description

Who we are

Moniepoint is Africa's all-in-one financial ecosystem, empowering businesses and their customers with seamless payment, banking, credit, and management tools. In 2023, we processed $182 billion and are Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer.

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
