About The Role
We are looking for a sharp, commercially-minded Senior Finance Analyst to join our finance team.
This is a hands-on role with real ownership — you will be embedded in the business, working directly with leadership on the numbers that drive decisions.
This role suits someone who has built their craft in a lean, fast-moving SME environment, where you owned the full picture rather than one slice of it.
If you've spent your career in a large corporate, this probably isn't the right fit.
If you've operated across multiple sites, built models from scratch, and presented to senior stakeholders without a team behind you — read on.
Key Responsibilities
- Own the end-to-end financial modelling process: cash flow, forecasting, business cases, scenario and sensitivity analysis
- Lead variance analysis (actual vs. budget vs. forecast) and translate findings into clear, actionable commentary for leadership
- Prepare and own the monthly board pack — financials, KPIs, narrative, and executive summary
- Support the annual budgeting and rolling forecast cycles across all business units and sites
- Analyse performance across multiple sites — revenue, margins, EBITDA, operating costs, and unit economics
- Identify financial risks and opportunities proactively, not just when asked
- Partner with department heads to track costs, challenge assumptions, and drive financial discipline
- Maintain data integrity and lead reporting automation initiatives
- Collaborate with the accounting team to ensure clean, reliable financial inputs
What We'Re Looking For
- **Qualified**
- ACCA, CPA, CFA, or equivalent — non-negotiable
- **Minimum 2 years post-qualification experience**
- in a hands-on finance role
- Background in an
- SME or multi-site business
- — retail, F&B, fitness, hospitality, or similar preferred.
- We value breadth of exposure over brand name.
- Demonstrable experience building and owning
- financial models
- (not just maintaining templates)
- Strong command of
Excel
- — we mean advanced: dynamic models, scenario analysis, pivot tables, and clean financial logic
- Experience preparing
- board-level reporting
- — numbers and narrative
- Commercially curious — you think like a business partner, not just a number cruncher
- Comfortable operating with limited hand-holding in a fast-paced environment
- Experience with ERP or BI tools is an advantage
What You'Ll Get
- Certified as a
Great Place to Work™ (2025)
- — voted by our own people
- A seat at the table — direct exposure to leadership and real strategic decisions
- Full ownership of your workstreams from day one
- Part of
- the Middle East's fastest-growing fitness company
- — a genuinely exciting business to be building in
- Creative freedom to bring your ideas to the table, not just execute someone else's
- Unmatched
Learning & Development
- — courses, seminars, workshops, and room to grow in the direction you choose
- A culture that works hard and plays hard — office pool table, dartboard, PlayStation 5, team events, and in-office workouts
- Competitive salary (AED 12,000–18,000 depending on experience) plus performance-based incentive
- A collaborative, high-performance team where initiative is recognised and rewarded
