Overview
Financial Planning Analyst Jobs in Dubai, United Arab Emirates at Brandsystem
Title: Financial Planning Analyst
Company: Brandsystem
Location: Dubai, United Arab Emirates
BRANDSYSTEM
We're an entrepreneurial group headquartered in Dubai (office based in Business Bay), and e-commerce is what ties everything together. The group brings together five verticals built around that core: supply chain operations, consulting, owned brands, software products, and an incubator. Different models, different stages – but a shared drive to build, deliver and grow.
Today the group counts 8 businesses and 70 people. Most of these businesses are young and scaling fast. The Finance function is being built as the business scales – structure and impact, at the same time.
THE ROLE
You'll be working directly alongside the Group Head of Finance – together, you build the Finance function across the group.
· Owning the production of the monthly consolidated reporting (P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow) – the framework is still being constructed; target is D+8 delivery with budget variance analysis for each entity
· Driving the budget cycle alongside the Head of Finance – continuously improving processes, driving reforecasts when needed, and leading the annual budget exercise for each business
· Designing and implementing the weekly cash flow reporting per entity with the automation team – then running it as a key input to management meetings
· Embedding operational KPIs into each entity's P&L – making Finance speak the language of the business and delivering actionable insights to business teams
· Supporting the set-up of the Group's banking structure and Cash Pool
· Monitoring and framing intercompany flows – recharges, current accounts, management fees
· Acting as the main point of contact for entity accountants – coordinating, aligning, and ensuring the numbers are right
· Ensuring data reliability across entities, working closely with the data and automation team to clean data at the source and automate reporting
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR
· 2 to 3 years in FP&A, audit, TAS, or corporate finance – you know your way around a P&L and you're not intimidated by a blank page
· Grande École de Commerce, university master in Finance, or equivalent
· Native French speaker, fluent in English – French is the working language, English used with external partners
· You build structure, you don't wait for it – sharp on Excel; any FP&A or BI tooling is a bonus
· Some exposure to e-commerce, retail, or high-growth startups will make a difference
WHY THIS ROLE
· A genuine opportunity to build Finance from scratch across an entire group – multiple businesses, multiple models
· Concrete responsibilities from day one, with a direct impact on the business
· A fast-moving environment where the learning curve is steep and the pace keeps you sharp
· A role designed to grow with you – if you deliver, the scope expands
· Competitive package, tax-free – health insurance, gym membership and one annual flight to home country covered
