Q-Sourcing Servtec Group is a global management consulting firm that helps people make significant improvements to their business performance and realize their most important career goals.

ROLE OVERVIEW

This is a high-impact, ground-floor opportunity for a commercially sharp and operationally resilient finance professional. The Group FP&A Lead will be the architect of the Group’s financial planning and analysis capability — a function that does not yet exist in its current form and must be built, owned, and driven by the person in this seat.

Sitting at the intersection of finance, strategy, and operations, this role will partner directly with the Group Head of Finance and the senior leadership team to deliver the financial intelligence that drives growth decisions across our Human Capital businesses in East Africa. You will work with imperfect, unstructured data from multiple systems and turn it into insight. That is not a temporary problem to be solved — it is the defining challenge and the defining opportunity of this role

We are not looking for someone who needs a clean model and a pre-built dashboard. We are looking for someone who builds the model, writes the rules, and teaches the business what good looks like.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES

Financial Planning & Budgeting Finance

• Own and lead the Group’s annual budgeting and multi-year financial planning process from inception — this means designing the process, not just running it
• Build budget templates and planning models that work across multiple entities, currencies, and business lines within the Human Capital portfolio
• Consolidate submissions from Uganda and Emerging Markets Financial Controllers into a coherent Group view
• Work with senior leadership to translate business strategy into financial targets and resource plans
• Challenge assumptions, stress-test plans, and ensure budget submissions are grounded in commercial reality

Forecasting & Performance Monitoring

• Design and own the Group rolling forecast cycle — monthly and quarterly — working with imperfect, multi-source data
• Build variance analysis frameworks that explain what happened, why it happened, and what the business should do about it
• Develop leading indicators and early-warning metrics specific to the Human Capital / staffing sector in East Africa
• Track financial performance against budget and forecast across all business units, flagging risks and opportunities proactively
• Translate financial performance data into clear, concise management commentary for the Group Head of Finance and Board reporting

Management Reporting

• Design and produce the Group’s monthly management accounts pack — from scratch — including P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and KPI dashboards
• Build standardised reporting templates that can be replicated and scaled as the finance function grows
• Ensure reporting is consistent, comparable, and decision-grade across all entities
• Present financial results and insights clearly to non-finance stakeholders, including country and functional leaders

Data Architecture & Systems

• Work effectively with unstructured data from Excel files and multiple, partially embedded ERP/HRIS systems — this is a core requirement, not a temporary state
• Design data collection and aggregation processes that bring structure and consistency to fragmented financial information
• Partner with IT and Operations to define data requirements as systems are embedded and upgraded
• Build and maintain Excel-based financial models of institutional quality — scalable, auditable, and documented
• Act as the bridge between the business’s current data reality and its future system ambitions

Business Partnering & Commercial Finance Business& Industrial

• Partner with country and functional leaders to support commercial decision-making — pricing, bid modelling, contract profitability, headcount planning
• Develop financial models for new business opportunities, market expansions, and strategic initiatives
• Bring a Human Capital sector lens to financial analysis — understanding staffing ratios, billable utilisation, contractor margin dynamics, and workforce cost drivers
• Provide financial input into tender and proposal processes where revenue impact is material

Function Building & Process Design

• This is a build role. You will design the FP&A operating model — processes, calendars, templates, governance, and ways of working — from the ground up
• Establish financial planning standards and discipline across the Group that did not previously exist
• Define what a future FP&A team looks like, and lay the groundwork for future hiring as the function scales
• Document all models, methodologies, and processes to professional standards
