About The Role:

We are looking for a strategic, hands-on finance leader to take full ownership of our company's finance, accounting, compliance, and audit functions.

This is not a typical finance manager role; we are seeking someone who can act like a CFO.

You will work directly with the founder(s) and leadership team, handling everything from books to boardroom: closing books, managing audits, ensuring statutory compliance, managing cash flow, making financial forecasts, and enabling data-driven decision-making with advanced analytics.

Key Responsibilities:

Accounting & Bookkeeping:

- End-to-end ownership of all accounting entries, reconciliations, ledgers, and MIS.

- Ensure monthly, quarterly, and annual book closures.

- Manage Zoho Books/Tally/ERP as applicable.

Audit & Compliance:

- Coordinate statutory, internal, and tax audits.

- Ensure 100% compliance with Income Tax, GST, TDS, ROC, etc.

- Manage vendor payments, invoices, and reconciliations with full transparency.

Strategic Finance:

- Prepare budgets, forecasts, and cash flow projections.

- Maintain investor-ready financial models, decks, and dashboards.

- Set up internal financial controls and SOPs.

- Track burn rate, working capital, margins, and unit economics.

Data Analytics & Decision Support:

- Build analytical dashboards to track KPIs across departments.

- Provide actionable financial insights to support growth, operations, and fundraising.

- Enable scenario modeling and cost optimization strategies.

Team & Leadership:

- Represent finance at leadership and board discussions.

- Be a founder's ally in planning long-term financial strategy.

- Potential to build and lead a finance team over time.

Ideal Candidate:

- Chartered Accountant with experience in finance, accounting, audit, and compliance.

- Startup or SME background preferred; ability to work independently and hands-on.

- Excellent with numbers, spreadsheets, reports, and data tools.

- Strong knowledge of GST, TDS, income tax, company law, and compliance workflows.

- Working experience with tools like Zoho Books, Tally, Excel, Google Sheets, and BI tools.

- Excellent communication and leadership skills.

- Hungry to build, scale, and grow with a fast-moving organization.

What You Get:

- Strategic role with high autonomy and influence.

- Opportunity to work directly with founders and shape the company's future.

- A mission-driven, execution-focused, and high-growth work environment.
