The Financial Manager is the group's senior finance authority, the person who owns the numbers end-to-end: from daily cash and stock reconciliation, to weekly profitability reporting, to monthly management accounts, to the financial discipline needed to protect margin as volume grows. This is a hands-on, all-rounded role. The successful candidate will be equally comfortable reconciling a cash drawer discrepancy, building a rolling cash flow forecast, tightening internal controls, and presenting a clear P&L narrative to the CEO. They will work closely with the UAE-based Administration Manager and Operations to close the loop between sales, delivery, and cash — and act as the CEO's most trusted voice on financial health and risk. Key Responsibilities 1. Financial Reporting & Management Accounts • Prepare weekly profitability and cash flow reports, and monthly management accounts (P&L, balance sheet, cash flow) for Amerigulf and, as scope expands, the wider group. • Deliver actionable, CEO-level dashboards that surface critical signals early — margin erosion, cash discrepancies, stock variances — rather than raw data dumps. • Ongoing tracking of financial performance against the 1000kg/day sales target, including the impact of sourcing decisions (in-house vs. outsourced fruit) on gross margin. 2. Cash & Controls • Own daily cash reconciliation across all sales and delivery staff, with particular attention to COD (cash-ondelivery) collections — a known area of historical exposure. • Investigate and resolve recurring resting-stock discrepancies in coordination with Operations, treating unexplained variances as a control gap to close, not a rounding error. • Design and enforce internal controls across cash handling, inventory, and expense approvals; recommend and implement process fixes where controls are weak. 3. Margin & Cost Discipline • Monitor unit economics by client and by sourcing channel; flag any pricing or sourcing decision that would push gross margin negative (e.g., outsourced fruit sold below the ~AED 24/kg threshold). • Partner with Royce (Operations) and sales staff on the financial implications of commercial decisions — pricing, discounting, credit terms — before they are finalized. 4. Cash Flow & Treasury • Build and maintain rolling 30/60/90-day cash flow forecasts, and proactively flag funding gaps or workingcapital pressure well ahead of time. • Manage banking relationships, payment runs, and supplier terms to keep the business liquid and creditworthy. 5. Compliance, Reconciliation & Systems • Ensure books are reconciled against bank statements, POS/sales records, and QuickBooks on a regular cycle. • Own VAT filings, statutory obligations, and audit readiness across the Kenyan and UAE entities, coordinating with external auditors/tax advisors as needed. • Maintain QuickBooks (and any future ERP) as a single source of truth; improve chart of accounts, reporting templates, and reconciliation workflows over time. 6. Group & Cross-Entity Support • Coordinate with Ashni (Chief of Staff) and (Operational & Administration Manager, Kenya) to standardize financial reporting and controls across Amerigulf and SanuPay. • Support financial due diligence, budgeting, and ad hoc analysis for the Founder & CEO as the group grows. Key Performance Indicators • Timeliness and accuracy of weekly profitability/cash flow reports and monthly management accounts. • Reduction in unexplained cash and stock discrepancies (COD collections, resting stock) quarter over quarter. • Gross margin pr
