Job description

We're hiring aDeputy Manager to take direct ownership of book closure, Ind AS compliance, and audit coordination, while getting meaningful exposure to DRHP drafting, SEBI documentation, and board-level reporting. This is a role for a CA who wants to build public-company-grade reporting muscle early, working closely with senior finance leadership rather than several layers removed from decisions.

Team: Controllership

What You'll Own

• Own end-to-end month-end and year-end book closure, ensuring financial statements are accurate, reconciled, and delivered on time
• Prepare and review financial statements, schedules, and notes to accounts
• Ensure all financial reporting and disclosures are fully compliant with Ind AS (Indian Accounting Standards)
• Maintain a clean audit trail and documentation standard that holds up under external scrutiny
• Strengthen internal financial controls (IFC) across close and reporting processes
• Support the design and testing of SOX-equivalent control frameworks where applicable
• Flag control gaps proactively rather than waiting for audit findings to surface them
• Support financial due diligence workstreams tied to IPO preparation
• Contribute to DRHP/RHP financial sections — data accuracy, schedule preparation, and narrative support
• Assist with audit committee reporting packs and SEBI/regulatory compliance documentation
• Get exposure to how public-company reporting timelines and disclosure standards differ from private-company norms
• Work closely with FP&A, Legal, Tax, and business teams to ensure reporting is accurate, consistent, and on schedule
• Translate controllership requirements into terms non-finance stakeholders can act on
• Support management and board-level reporting with well-reconciled, defensible data
• Identify recurring pain points or manual bottlenecks in the close and reporting cycle
• Drive automation and standardization initiatives — from ERP configuration fixes to reporting template redesign

What We Expect You to Bring

Must-Have

• Chartered Accountant (CA), qualified, with 2–4 years of post-qualification experience in industry.
• Practical, hands-on working knowledge of Ind AS. Should be able to apply it to real transactions and disclosures, not just recall standards
• Demonstrated ability to own a full month-end close cycle independently
• Experience coordinating directly with auditors (statutory, internal, or tax) and resolving queries without heavy supervision
• Strong communication skills able to explain financial matters clearly to both finance and non-finance audiences, including leadership
• Comfort operating with ambiguity, tight timelines, and shifting priorities in a fast-growing environment

Good to Have

• Exposure to the IPO process such as DRHP/RHP drafting, SEBI filings, or public-company reporting standards
• Hands-on experience with ERP systems (SAP, Oracle, NetSuite, Tally, etc.)
• Exposure to consolidation, group reporting, or multi-entity structures
• Big 4 or mid-tier CA firm background followed by industry experience
• Working understanding of internal financial controls (IFC) and SOX-equivalent frameworks
