Not in this case... Senior Business Analyst is a general title, its the job description that is most critical. In most cases, being a business analyst to the executive is a promotion. Moreover, with the Qatarization program, it is hard to find Financial Controller position... Finance Managers usually reports to Financial Controller or maybe CFO. An offer of Business Analyst to the CEO, you are like the right hand guy to the CEO/CFO and Board of Directors for the financial and strategic development of the company... Hopes this helps... It is all about the job description!
