1. The Role:

We are hiring a Financial Controller to own the finance function's day-to-day production, reporting to and working closely with the CFO. You will take full ownership of bookkeeping and the monthly close cycle, working in Xero and Google Sheets across a multi-currency, milestone-based revenue business. Alongside the core production work, you will also contribute to strategic finance projects as the function scales.

2. What You Will Own:

- Bookkeeping and monthly close: bank/card reconciliations, trial balance, management accounts, cash position, and full-cycle bookkeeping to Xero

- Financial statements: Income Statement, Balance Sheet, and Cash Flow, including balance-sheet reconciliation and aged receivables/payables review

- Reporting accuracy and insight: reviewing the monthly, quarterly, and annual reporting pack for accuracy, integrity, and timeliness before it is presented to the CFO

- Commission and payroll: commission run calculations, pay-run preparation, and payslip processing

- Vendor payments: processing payment requests and reconciling vendor accounts

- Governance and compliance: contributing to quarterly and semi-annual finance reviews and supporting audits and statutory filings

- Processes, controls, and policies: ensuring appropriate reporting processes, internal controls, and accounting policies are in place and applied consistently across entities

- Systems and process improvement: strengthening the Xero and Google Sheets stack, automating manual workflows, and helping build a finance infrastructure that scales with the business

3. What We Are Looking For:

- 5+ years in accounting or finance operations, ideally with Controller, Senior Accountant, or Finance Manager experience

- Hands-on expertise in Xero (or equivalent cloud accounting platforms) and advanced Google Sheets

- Strong reconciliation and month-end close discipline, comfortable owning a full cycle independently

- Experience with multi-currency operations (EUR, HKD, GBP, USD)

- Experience reporting across multiple entities and jurisdictions, including intercompany transactions, is an asset

- Working knowledge of IFRS and group reporting requirements is an asset

- Experience managing cash flow and working with banking partners

- Professional accounting qualification (CA, CMA, or equivalent) preferred

- Excellent written communication - this role works closely and asynchronously with a CFO and CEO based outside India

- Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work effectively with executives, auditors, and banking partners

- Comfortable in a lean, fast-scaling environment where you will build process, not just follow it

4. Why Join:

You will own the finance function's production end to end, with direct mentorship from the CFO and exposure to strategic projects well beyond the monthly close. This is a build role: the processes, controls, and reporting cadence you put in place are the ones the business will run on as it scales.
