## Job description

Reports to: CEO (transitioning to Global Corporate CFO once that role is established)

Team: You, with functional management of local country accountants and finance officers (when hired) — building the central function from scratch  
  
**About FinAgra:**  
FinAgra is building a new model for commercial agriculture in emerging markets. We combine financing, agronomy, technology, and farm operations to turn underperforming farmland into professionally managed, productive farming businesses.

**About the Role**:  
We're looking for a Financial Planning & Control Manager who wants to own this function end to end. You'll act as the CEO's right hand across finance and field operations, with a direct line into executive decisions from day one.   
This is a very hands-on role for someone who thrives on autonomy and wants to build something real from the ground up.

**What you'll own**

*Financial Planning, Business Cases & Project Economics*

* Build business cases and economic models for new projects, regions, and capital investments — feasibility, ROI/IRR, payback, sensitivity analysis;
* Partner with commercial and operations leads to pressure-test project economics before capital is committed;
* Own a finance-led forecasting process for crop-cycle-driven operational performance, and connect it to actuals;
* Prepare monthly performance reviews that link financial results to the operational drivers behind them;
* Feed business case rigor into market-entry decisions, including LATAM and SEA feasibility work from 2027.

*Treasury & Cash Management (shared with the in-house Treasurer)*

* Weekly cash positioning and 13-week rolling forecasts per country, coordinated with the Treasurer;
* Payment execution (inputs, leases, mechanisation, logistics) and working capital planning aligned to crop-cycle seasonality;
* USD/KES and USD/INR FX management — rate monitoring, timing, loss minimisation, in partnership with the Treasurer;
* Bank relationship management, account operations, and signatory duties held jointly with the Treasurer.

*Controls & Back Office*

* Enforcement of the approval matrix across regional spend;
* Budget compliance;
* Internal control testing via transaction sampling;
* Back office systems and workflow design;
* Vendor onboarding and contract compliance;
* ERPNext rollout across treasury, procurement, and controls modules;
* Management of local accountants in each country — reviewing their work, setting standards, and coaching for quality and consistency;
* Ownership of the company-wide accounting policy.

**What you'll bring**

* 5+ years in FP&A, controlling, treasury, or performance roles — ideally a mix, not just one;
* Real operational exposure is a must— you've worked inside an operating business;
* Ability to build a financial/investment model from a blank sheet;
* Comfort being the sole finance person in the building, with full ownership of the work;
* Agribusiness, emerging-market, or project-finance-style economics experience is a strong plus;
* Willingness to travel and be hands-on in the field;
* Professional qualification (ACCA/CPA/CFA) is a plus, if the track record speaks for itself.

**Mobility** up to 60–80 days/year (TBC), primarily Kenya and India, LATAM and SEA from 2027. Travel per the T&E policy.
