Finance Manager (Head of Finance)

Fengany is a profitable EGP 100M+ e-commerce brand. We have grown fast based on product and sales, but our financial infrastructure hasn't kept up. We are currently relying on external auditors, but we need to bring the brain in-house.

We are looking for our first internal finance hire. You will not be walking into a polished department with clear SOPs. You will be walking into a construction site. You are here to build the foundation, implement the systems (ERP), and give the founders visibility into where every EGP is going.

• Budgeting & Forecasting: Spearhead the annual budgeting process and quarterly re-forecasting. Monitor performance against these benchmarks to identify deviations and implement corrective measures.

• Payables & Receivables: Manage AP/AR aging reports to optimize cash conversion cycles, negotiating terms with suppliers where necessary to preserve cash flow.

4. Cost Accounting & Inventory Control

• Landed Cost Analysis: Implement precise costing models for imported and manufactured goods, factoring in freight, customs, and wastage to determine true unit economics.
• Inventory Reconciliation: Conduct regular physical stock counts and reconcile them against system records to minimize shrinkage and ensure accurate asset valuation.

• 5+ Years Experience in Finance/Accounting.
• Must have experience in Retail, Manufacturing, or E-commerce. (Service-based experience is not enough; you need to understand physical goods).
• System Builder: Proven experience setting up accounting software from scratch.
• Strong Personality: You must be able to say No to the founders when a massive expense isn't in the budget.
• Ex-Audit is a plus, but must have operational industry experience.
