Key details

• In 2023, we processed $182 billion and are Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer.</p> <h3>Job Purpose</h3> <p>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.<br>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.</p> <p><em>Curious about what makes Moniepoint an incredible place to work? <a href="https://moniepoint.com/blog">Check out posts on how we cultivate a culture of innovation, teamwork, and growth.</a></em></p> <h3><strong>Responsibilities:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>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</li> <li>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</li> <li>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</li> <li>Produce the consolidated Group forecast (2026-28 and beyond), reconciled monthly to actuals, with a clear bridge explaining variances</li> <li>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</li> <li>Run the monthly and quarterly reporting cycles at Group level: consolidated management accounts, Board packs, and investor-grade reporting</li> <li>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</li> <li>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</li> <li>Lead scenario and sensitivity modelling for Group-level strategic decisions: new market entry, capital raises, new market expansion, licence applications etc.</li> <li>Set and enforce FP&A style and modelling standards across the Group (structure, formatting, sign-off, version control)</li> <li>Manage and develop the Group FP&A Analysts covering the subsidiaries and markets without a dedicated resource, plus central shared services</li> </ul> <h3><strong>Candidate requirements:</strong></h3> <ul> <li>10+ years in FP&A, corporate finance, or investment banking, including experience building forecasting frameworks from scratch</li> <li>Proven experience consolidating multi-entity, multi-currency forecasts and management accounts</li> <li>Background in banking, fintech, or another regulated, fast-growth environment</li> <li>Advanced financial modelling skills (Excel at architect level); comfortable owning a model spanning multiple entities and currencies<br>ACA / ACCA / CFA or equivalent</li> <li>Proven ability to operate effectively as a remote, senior finance leader across time zones and geographies</li> </ul> <h3>Preffered Qualifications</h3> <ul> <li>Experience in a high-growth African or emerging-markets fintech or bank</li> <li>Prior exposure to Board and investor reporting at Group level</li> <li>Familiarity with planning/consolidation tooling (NetSuite, Aleph, Pigment or similar) beyond Excel</li> <li>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</li> </ul> <h3><strong>About you</strong></h3> <ul> <li>You think in frameworks.
