This role owns the US parent-entity accounting, the monthly multi-entity consolidation and intercompany, and - critically - the accurate and complete booking of JV and partnership revenue. You will be the person who makes the numbers come together correctly each month across every entity, working directly with the Group CFO and CEO.\nThis is a hands-on, high-ownership role at the center of a lean finance team, with real ownership from day one as the group scales through Series A and beyond. Because the team is deliberately lean, the role is broad - beyond the reporting core it takes on planning, cash-flow and treasury coordination, with support from the CFO.\nYou will partner with - but not manage - the country finance managers (Kenya, Uganda) and accountants (Tanzania, Rwanda) and our outsourced India provider, collating their submissions on the group timetable. You report to the Group CFO, which keeps sign-off on the consolidated and US numbers independent of any single country.\nKey Responsibilities\nUS Entity & Parent-Company Close\nOwn PFW Inc. (Delaware) accounting end-to-end - booking intercompany funding, holding-company costs and accruals, and running US payments.\nKeep the parent ledger tidy and audit-ready, with clear working papers.\nJV & Partnership Revenue\nOwn the accurate and complete booking of JV and partnership revenue and income across the group - with lenders, Sacco’s, banks, and other partners - recognized in the right entity, period, and account.\nReconcile partner statements and settlement data to the ledger and resolve differences, so revenue and revenue-share are correctly recorded; maintain clear audit trails for every arrangement.\nAct as the central reporting home for partnership and JV markets where the group serves customers but has no local entity.\nGroup Consolidation & Reporting\nRun the monthly group consolidation - collating entity submissions into the consolidated income statement, balance sheet, and cash flow.\nOwn intercompany and eliminations, foreign-currency translation, and reconciling intercompany balances so they clear cleanly across entities.\nHelp prepare the monthly board and investor pack - group KPIs, revenue mix, cash, burn and runway - and maintain robust reconciliations for group cash, the loan book, and third-party debt.\nProduct-Line Reporting\nMaintain group reporting by product line - Pay, Borrow, Save, and Insurance / Protect - tracking revenue, margin and KPIs, and standing up reporting for each new product from launch (chart-of-accounts mapping, recognition treatment, disclosures).\nClose, Audit, & Series A\nRun the group month-end close to a fixed timetable, hit deadlines, and help tighten the calendar over time.\nPrepare supporting schedules and evidence for the annual group and entity audits and support Series A diligence and the data room.\nPlanning, Treasury, & Process\nHelp build and maintain the group budget and rolling forecast with monthly variance analysis; own the short-term (13-week) cashflow forecast and track runway.\nHelp keep the group model and investor five-year plan current and build unit-economics and KPI reporting.\nSupport cash and treasury across entities and currencies; coordinate local tax and statutory filings and transfer-pricing documentation with country teams and advisors; strengthen controls and processes in Microsoft Dynamics 365.\nCandidate Profile\nThe ideal candidate is a qualified accountant who has worked hands-on across multiple entities and is comfortable being the sole technical owner of the group numbers in a lean team. They are accurate, organized, and diligent, genuinely bothered by items that don’t reconcile, and keen to take on more as the group scales.\nEssential\nQualification: A bachelor’s degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field, together with a completed professional accounting qualification (CPA(K), ACCA, CA, or equivalent). Candidates who are finalists and close to completing their professional qualification may also be considered. \nExperience: around 6 - 9 years, including hands-on exposure to multi-entity consolidation and intercompany - having owned a consolidation end-to-end is a strong plus.\nAccounting: solid IFRS knowledge including revenue recognition, and confidence with multi-currency / FX translation.\nClose discipline: a demonstrable track record of hitting month-end close deadlines to a fixed calendar.\nTools & rigor: strong Excel and a controls / audit-trail mindset; experience in leveraging AI\nDesirable\nExperience booking partnership / revenue-share or JV income, ideally in fintech, lending or banking.\nUS entity / US GAAP or Delaware parent-company exposure; Microsoft Dynamics 365 (D365); FP&A and financial modelling; and experience across African markets in a high-growth or start-up environment.\nWhy This Role\nA central, visible role working shoulder-to-shoulder with the Group CFO and CEO through Series A.\nOwnership of JV / partnership revenue and hands-on group consolidation and IFRS from day one.\nA clear growth path toward a Head of Finance mandate as the finance team scales.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5474,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":6,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Financial Services"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-17T04:32:52Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":15,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.534,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":75,"expected_fill_days":29,"reasons":["conf:2","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-11-09T06:03:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/power-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/power-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-09T21:49:50Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":10661,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-10T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":3793623},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=3793623"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fpower-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":2,"usd":0.2},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fpower-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fpower-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/power-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fpower-workplace-banking-simplified-group-financial-controller"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":2767224}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"yourpower.io","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":2767224},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
