Job Description






Candidate Responsibilities




  • Own all financial planning, budgeting, and cash flow management across pre-launch buildout and steady-state operations.

  • Control the capital expenditure programme: procurement payments, vendor contracts, FX exposure on international equipment orders, and phased purchasing decisions.

  • Build and maintain the club’s financial model — membership capacity economics, à la carte revenue, F&B partnership profit share, and non-member revenue streams.

  • Design and run membership billing and collections for high-value annual contracts, with zero tolerance for friction in the member experience.

  • Structure and monitor the F&B operator partnership accounting, including profitsplit reconciliation and performance reporting.

  • Ensure full Nigerian tax, regulatory, and statutory compliance (FIRS, PAYE, pension, CAC filings).

  • Produce monthly management accounts and investor-facing reporting to a standard that withstands scrutiny.

  • Establish internal controls, approval workflows, and payroll as the team scales.

  • Advise the Founder on capital allocation, pricing decisions, and long-horizon financial strategy.



Candidate Requirements




  • Qualified accountant (ICAN or ACCA) with 6+ years post-qualification experience.

  • Experience in hospitality, private clubs, healthcare, real estate, or another capex heavy, service-led business strongly preferred.

  • Hands-on experience managing FX and international supplier payments from Nigeria.

  • Demonstrated ability to build a finance function from scratch — systems, controls, and reporting — not just operate an existing one.

  • Fluency with accounting software and financial modelling; you build your own models.

  • Absolute discretion: you will handle the financial affairs of a business serving Abuja’s most private individuals
