Finance Manager UAE

About Fasset

At Fasset, we believe your money should answer to you. We are a banking and investment platform built around a simple idea: more people should have access to the financial system, regardless of where they live. We are building the global financial system for ownership, one that moves what you earn into what you own, so that what you can own is never decided by where you were born.

We operate across emerging markets, with a particular focus on the Middle East, Asia and Africa. Founded by Mohammad Raafi Hossain and Daniel Ahmed, Fasset has raised more than $80 million and holds regulatory approvals across markets including the UAE, Indonesia, Malaysia, the EU, Türkiye and Pakistan.

We are a fast-moving, global team scaling a regulated platform across multiple markets. Our culture runs on HEART: Humble Curiosity, Enthusiasm, Act Like Owners, Raise the Bar, and Tenacity. And we hold one simple view about the people who join us: the owners arrive early.
