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
