About the role

Who we are

Moniepoint Inc. is Africa’s all-in-one financial platform, helping 20 million businesses and individuals access seamless payments, banking, credit, cross-border, and business management tools each month. As Nigeria’s largest merchant acquirer, we power most of the country’s point-of-sale (POS) transactions. Through our subsidiaries, Moniepoint Inc. processes over $250 billion in digital payment transaction value annually.

Job Purpose

Supports the Head of Group FP&A in running the Group's forecasting, budgeting, and reporting cycle, and acts as the FP&A resource for smaller subsidiaries that don't yet have a dedicated full-time finance analyst.

Responsibilities:

Maintain and update the Group consolidation model monthly, reconciling actuals to forecast and flagging variances

Provide forecasting, budgeting, and management-reporting support directly to subsidiaries without their own FP&A resource

Prepare Board and management reporting packs to house standard, on a fixed monthly/quarterly cadence

Support the annual budget process: templates, data collection from BUs, consolidation, and variance commentary

Run variance analysis against budget and prior forecast, and draft the narrative behind the numbers

Maintain KPI and unit-economics tracking across the entities in scope

Respond to ad hoc analysis requests from the CFO, Head of Group FP&A, or subsidiary leadership

Qualifications:

4-6 years of experience in FP&A, financial analysis, or a similar corporate finance role

Advanced Excel / financial modelling skills

Experience working with multi-entity or multi-currency numbers

Part-qualified or qualified accountant (ACA / ACCA / CIMA / CPA) or equivalent analytical background

Preffered Qualifications:

Experience in banking, fintech, or another regulated environment

Exposure to Board-level reporting

Comfort working directly with subsidiary or BU stakeholders without close day-to-day supervision

About You

You're comfortable being the only FP&A point of contact for a subsidiary. You don't wait to be told exactly what's needed

You keep the model and the numbers clean, even when the underlying data isn't

You ask the subsidiary team the right questions rather than guessing at the answer

You deliver reporting on a fixed cadence, on time, without chasing

What Success Looks Like

Group model reconciles to actuals monthly with no unexplained variances

Subsidiaries in scope receive consistent, on-time FP&A support and no longer flag gaps in coverage

Board packs and management reports are delivered to house standard, every cycle

Budget data collection from BUs happens on schedule, with minimal follow-up required
