Job description

About Helira

Helira Energy Private Limited is a brand + technology company for residential rooftop solar in Bengaluru. Helira-certified installers carry out the physical work; the warranty and accountability stay with Helira. As install volume and headcount grow, the finance function needs to hold audit-grade discipline from day one rather than catching up to it later.

Why this role exists

Helira expects to raise a seed round and has applied to state startup schemes, both of which require clean, audit-ready books and diligence-ready documentation. This is the first dedicated accounts hire, joining in September and reporting to the founder, working alongside a retained external accounting advisor rather than replacing their sign-off.

What you will do

• Maintain day-to-day books to audit-ready standard: bookkeeping, reconciliations and monthly closes.
• Handle GST filing and compliance, and process payroll for the team.
• Process vendor payments and maintain accurate records of payables and receivables.
• Prepare supporting documentation for investor diligence as Helira works toward a seed round.
• Prepare documentation for state startup-scheme applications and related government filings.
• Work alongside Helira's retained external accounting advisor, handling the day-to-day so their time goes to judgement calls and sign-off.
• Keep financial records organised and accessible for founder review at any time.

Essential requirements

• 2–5 years in accounts, bookkeeping or finance operations, ideally including GST and payroll.
• Comfortable working to audit-grade standards without a large finance team around you.
• Proficiency with standard accounting software and spreadsheets.
• Attention to detail and comfort with government and compliance paperwork.
• Bengaluru-based.

Preferred

• Experience supporting an investor diligence process or fundraising round.
• Experience with startup-scheme or government-grant documentation.
• Experience working alongside a chartered accountant or external advisory firm.

What we offer

• Full ownership of Helira's books at ground floor, working directly with the founder and a retained external advisor.
• A clear path to senior accounts executive, then accounts manager owning close and audit, then finance manager.
• Direct visibility into how an early-stage company builds its finance function.

Compensation: competitive for an early-stage startup; finalised at offer.
