Head, Group FP&A

About the Position

Head, Group FP&A

Remote, Nigeria

About the Company

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.

Requirements

• 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.

Preferred 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-organized, 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.

What to Expect in the Hiring Process

• A preliminary phone call with one of our recruiters.
• Hiring Manager Interview.
• A Panel interview with existing Finance Leads.
• A behavioral and technical interview with a member of the Executive team.
