    The MomentLean has tripled in size over the past twelve months. We're on track to triple again next year.

    What started as the region's pioneering Open Finance platform is now becoming something bigger:
    a multi‑product infrastructure company powering payments, data, and lending across MENA. We're expanding into new markets, opening offices, acquiring businesses, and building capabilities that didn't exist here before.
    We've processed billions of dollars in transactions.

    Act as the primary finance contact for external auditors during the integration period.
    Manage audit timelines, deliverables, and responses.
    Support compliance with applicable accounting standards and local regulatory requirements.
