• Provide diligence and oversight during investments, M&A, fundraising, and exits.
• Support leadership with actionable insights on capital allocation, ROI, and performance optimization.
• Drive financial strategies that align with the firm’s growth and scaling goals.

Negotiations & Contract Oversight

• Lead and oversee contract negotiations with clients, vendors, and employees.
• Manage financial/legal negotiations to ensure optimal outcomes for the firm and its portcos.
• Partner with legal and business teams to reduce risks and improve deal terms.

Performance Management & Stakeholder Engagement

• Drive company-wide and employee-level performance management, linking KPIs to financial outcomes.
• Support leadership in building compensation structures tied to performance and cost efficiency.
• Build dashboards and reporting tools to track business, team, and portfolio performance.
• Serve as the primary point of contact for auditors, tax advisors, banks, and legal counsel.
• Lead, mentor, and challenge finance teams to ensure accurate reporting and compliance.
• Establish strong internal controls, compliance processes, and risk management frameworks.
• Ensure all finance team outputs and portfolio company reports are reviewed, validated, and optimized.

Qualifications & Experience

• 10+ years of progressive finance leadership experience in India and US, ideally in investment firms, VC/PE-backed companies, or high-growth businesses.
• Experience in US GAAP, ASC 606, Due Diligence and sell-side transactions.
• Strong track record in monthly closing, FP&A, budgeting, and cost optimization.
• Hands-on experience in contract negotiations with clients, vendors, and employees.
• Deep understanding of corporate finance, accounting, tax, and legal frameworks.
• Proven ability in performance management at both organizational and employee levels.
• Professional qualifications such as CA, CPA, CFA, or MBA in Finance strongly preferred.

What We’re Looking For

• A CFO who can strategically guide but also roll up their sleeves in day-to-day finance operations.
• Excellent negotiator and communicator, able to manage clients, vendors, employees, and investors.
• Strong analytical and commercial acumen, with a focus on cost optimization and value creation.
• Someone who can “trust but verify” — ensuring finance teams and portcos deliver accurate, high-quality work.
• An entrepreneurial, problem-solving mindset suited for a fast-paced, dynamic investment environment.
