About FinAgra

FinAgra KE Limited is a technology-driven shared farming company operating across Kenya. We partner with Rural Entrepreneur Partners (REPs) — local entrepreneurs who manage commercial farming operations on our behalf under a profit-sharing agreement (PSA). FinAgra provides all working capital, agronomy, procurement, and market access. REPs provide land access and on-ground management.

Our business model is built on a transparent profit-sharing structure: Net Revenue from each harvest is distributed as 50% to FinAgra, 25% to the REP, 5% to the Lessor (landowner), and 20% to a Community Development Fund. Every financial decision — from input procurement to harvest settlement — directly affects this pool. Finance is not a back-office function at FinAgra. It is a core performance driver.

Our technology stack — ERPNext (enterprise financial system), X-Farm (digital agronomy), Airtable (REP pipeline and operations database), KCB online banking, KRA eTims, Slack, and Google Workspace — is central to how the company operates. The Senior Finance Manager will work at the intersection of finance, technology, and agricultural operations.

The Role

The Finance Manager owns financial modelling, financial planning, crop economics, company-wide reporting, and compliance oversight at FinAgra KE. Day-to-day accounting, payroll processing, and routine statutory filings are managed by the Finance Lead (Norah Mutua). This role is about analysis, modelling, planning, and strategic financial intelligence — not bookkeeping. If you are looking for a role where you spend your days building financial models, producing sharp management reports, and providing the analytical backbone for the company’s investment decisions, this is it.

We are looking for a young candidate — not because experience does not matter, but because we want someone who is genuinely tech-native, learns new systems quickly, and is comfortable operating in a fast-moving, data-driven environment where technology is central to everything. If you have grown up working across ERPNext, Excel, Google Sheets, Power BI, and AI tools as a matter of routine, this role was built for you.

Speed and timeliness are non-negotiable. A farm investment appraisal requested on a Monday lands on the Director’s desk by Wednesday. Monthly management accounts are live before the 5th. Profit share calculations are ready within 10 banking days of harvest settlement. These are standards, not targets.

The candidate must be exceptional at Excel — not competent. Complex multi-variable crop economics models, dynamic management dashboards, scenario analysis tools, and automated reporting templates are standard outputs. Experience with financial planning tools (Power BI, Tableau, Anaplan, Adaptive Insights, or equivalent) is a strong advantage. Familiarity with ERPNext or another ERP is expected.

Strong grounding in Kenyan tax law (Income Tax Act, VAT Act, PAYE, withholding tax), employment law (Employment Act, NSSF, SHA), and corporate compliance (Companies Act, IFRS for SMEs, ICPAK) is essential. FinAgra operates under real statutory obligations with hard deadlines — late PAYE, a missed eTims transmission, or an incorrect profit share calculation has real legal and financial consequences.

Prior experience at a Big Four firm (PwC, Deloitte, KPMG, EY) or a major financial institution is a strong advantage.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Modelling & Planning — the core of this role

Build and own FinAgra’s entire financial modelling architecture — a suite of Excel-based and ERPNext-integrated models covering every financial dimension of the business: farm-level P&L, REP investment appraisals, crop economics, company-wide financial planning, cash flow forecasting, and overhead cost tracking.

Design and maintain the crop economics model for each commodity in FinAgra’s portfolio — incorporating expected yield ranges per crop and region, full Production Cost build-up per hectare (seed, fertilizer, agrochemicals, mechanization, labour, irrigation, indirect costs, and post-harvest costs), gross margin projections, Net Revenue per the PSA structure, and sensitivity analysis on commodity price, yield, input cost, mechanization cost, and lease rate.

For every new and renewal REP Shared Farming Project, build a comprehensive farm-level investment model covering: all Production Cost categories; Lessor lease payments; REP advance payment plan and repayment schedule; expected gross production and Net Revenue at base, optimistic, and downside scenarios; projected profit share distributions (FinAgra 50% / REP 25% / Lessor 5% / Community 20%); and return on investment for FinAgra’s capital commitment.

Maintain live farm-level P&L for every active Project throughout each Crop Season — updating actual expenditure against budget in ERPNext weekly during growing season; producing monthly P&L reports for the Director and Finance Lead; flagging any Project trending to a material shortfall vs Investment Appraisal projections within 48 hours of identification.

Build and maintain a company-wide financial planning model integrating all farm P&Ls, overhead costs, capital deployment, REP advance balances, cash flow, and consolidated income statement and balance sheet.

Prepare monthly and quarterly management accounts — consolidated P&L, balance sheet, cash flow statement, and key financial KPIs — for the Director and Board within the agreed reporting deadline (5th of the following month for monthly reports).

Build scenario and sensitivity models to support strategic decisions — new county expansion, new crop introduction, scale assumptions, overhead investment decisions, and capital requirement projections.

Crop Economics & REP Financial Appraisal

Own FinAgra’s crop economics framework — the set of standardized models, cost benchmarks, yield assumptions, and profitability metrics that govern how each Shared Farming Project is planned, budgeted, evaluated, and settled.

Update crop economic models annually (and on a rolling basis during the season) based on actual season performance data, updated commodity price forecasts from Growth & Partnerships, and input cost trends from Procurement.

Provide the Growth & Partnerships Lead with production capacity forecasts, gross margin projections, and harvest timing data for all active Projects at least 30 days before each harvest to enable commercial commitments to buyers.

Own the financial appraisal of all new REP proposals — applying crop economics models to assess the financial viability of each proposed REP and land combination before a recommendation is made to the Director.

Prepare yield projection models and break-even analyses for every proposed Project site, incorporating agronomic inputs from the CFOO and historical performance benchmarks.

ERPNext Financial Management

Operate ERPNext as the primary financial system — maintaining Chart of Accounts, cost centre structure, project-based accounting, and all financial transaction workflows.

Ensure all farm-level Production Costs are correctly coded to the appropriate Operational Project (REP + Field + Crop + Season) in ERPNext in real time. Incorrect project linkage directly distorts farm-level P&L and profit share calculations.
