• This role requires a finance leader who can connect finance, strategy, growth, ERP, operations, commercial performance, cash flow and investment decisions.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead IFRS-based financial management, reporting, controls and audit readiness.
• Build  Above 5 years financial models, growth forecasts and scenario plans.

• Turn ERP into a reliable management-information and decision-making system.
• Develop CEO-level financial dashboards and business-performance analysis.
• Evaluate CAPEX, expansion, financing and investment decisions using sound financial modelling.
• Lead budgeting, cost management, variance analysis and financial risk management.
• Build a high-performance finance team with strong accountability and analytical capability.
• Act as a strategic financial adviser to the CEO and management, challenging assumptions with facts and numbers.

We Are Looking For

• A commercially minded finance leader with:
• Strong IFRS/IAS practical expertise and professional qualification such as ACCA, CPA, CMA, CA or equivalent.
• Proven capability in financial modelling, forecasting and FP&A.
• Strong ERP knowledge and experience in ERP transformation / implementation.
• Advanced Excel and financial-data analysis skills; Power BI or similar tools are an advantage.
• Strong understanding of manufacturing finance, costing, inventory and unit economics.
• Demonstrated cash-flow and working-capital management capability.
• Strong strategic thinking and business-partnering skills.
• Proven leadership ability and experience building accountable finance teams.
• High integrity, professional independence and the confidence to challenge senior management when the numbers require it.
• Experience in manufacturing, agribusiness, FMCG, industrial production or a growth company is highly desirable.
• Exposure to investment, fundraising, banking, strategic partnerships or international business is an advantage.

The Mindset We Want

• We are not looking for someone who only tells us what happened last month.
• We want someone who can tell us:
• What is happening?
• Why is it happening?
• What will happen next?
• What will it mean for cash and profitability?
• What should management do now?
• If you are a finance professional who wants to build systems, drive transformation and directly influence business growth, we want to hear from you.
