Dhaka, Dhaka, Bangladesh Simpaisa Full time

Simpaisa Bangladesh is looking for a highly capable and driven finance leader to head the finance function across our Bangladesh portfolio — Simpaisa, Ammar Pay, and Tapmad. This is a strategic and hands-on leadership role, responsible for building a robust, scalable, and compliant finance function while also resolving near-term priorities, particularly at Ammar Pay.

The role will act as the key financial partner to the Group CFO and business heads, owning financial strategy, planning, controls, reporting, treasury, tax, and stakeholder reporting across all three entities.

Key Responsibilities

Leadership & Strategy

  • Serve as the senior-most finance leader for Bangladesh across Simpaisa, Ammar Pay, and Tapmad.
  • Act as strategic partner to the Group CFO and local leadership teams, supporting growth, profitability, and governance.
  • Provide insight-driven financial leadership to enable strong unit economics, commercial decision-making, and cost discipline.

Financial Management & Control

  • Oversee end-to-end finance including accounting, financial reporting, budgeting, FP&A, cash flow, and internal controls.
  • Ensure accurate and timely monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements in line with local and group standards.
  • Lead statutory, tax, and internal audits across all entities.
  • Strengthen financial discipline, documentation, and governance — especially at Ammar Pay post-acquisition.

Treasury & Funds Flow

  • Manage treasury operations, settlements, reconciliations, merchant/payments flows, and cash optimization across entities.
  • Coordinate closely with the central treasury team in Pakistan to ensure cross-border funds management and compliance.

Regulatory & Central Bank Reporting

  • Ensure all finance-related filings, reports, and submissions to Bangladesh Bank and other regulators are accurate and on time.
  • Maintain strong working relationships with auditors, regulatory bodies, tax advisors, and banking partners.

Team & Capability Building

  • Lead a small finance team inherited from Ammar Pay, with the ability to scale selectively based on need.
  • Leverage the larger shared finance team in Pakistan where possible to avoid unnecessary local duplication.
  • Build a high-performance finance culture with strong ownership, accuracy, and accountability.

First 6–12 Month Priorities

  • Stabilize and streamline Ammar Pay finance operations and controls.
  • Implement reporting discipline and monthly closing cadence across all three entities.
  • Build budgeting and forecasting models for Simpaisa BD/ Simpoysha and Tapmad.
  • Standardize and align accounting policies with group standards.
  • Strengthen treasury and reconciliations for payment flows.
  • Ensure full compliance and timely reporting to Bangladesh Bank.

Candidate Profile

  • Chartered Accountant (CA) or equivalent (ACCA, CPA) preferred.
  • 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience, ideally in fintech, payments, banking, or regulated tech sectors.
  • Experience working with payment flows, settlement cycles, merchant reconciliations, or PSO/PSP models strongly preferred.
  • Proven ability to lead both strategic finance (FP&A, business partnering) and core controllership.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, founder-led, multi-entity environment.
  • Strong understanding of Bangladesh tax, audit, and regulatory ecosystem.
  • Hands-on, solutions-focused leader with the ability to fix, build, and scale simultaneously.
