Job description

Manager Finance (Controllership / Deputy Controller)

Reporting to: Director - Finance

Experience: 4-5 years post-qualification (mandatory)

Qualification: Qualified CA - mandatory, no exceptions

Role Summary

Acts as deputy to the Director - Finance on all controllership matters, in a fast-paced, high-growth

SaaS/mobility environment undergoing IPO preparation. Owns the books of accounts end-to-end, drives

statutory and internal audit closure, and is the single point of accountability for monthly MIS accuracy and

timeliness. Central custodian of the finance data repository. This is a builder's role - expect to design

process, not just follow it.

Key Responsibilities

1. Books of Accounts & Controllership

• End-to-end ownership of general ledger integrity across all entities
• Monthly, quarterly, and annual book closure within defined timelines - with a bias toward

shrinking closure TAT quarter over quarter

• Review and sign-off on trial balance, schedules, and reconciliations before submission to Director

- Finance

• Ensure Ind AS compliance in all accounting entries and disclosures

2. Statutory Audit

• Single point of contact for statutory auditors
• Audit planning, PBC (prepared-by-client) schedule ownership, query resolution, and timely

closure

• Draft standalone/consolidated financial statements and notes to accounts

3. Internal Audit

• Coordinate internal audit scope, findings closure, and action tracking with process owners
• Strengthen internal financial controls (IFC) documentation and testing

4. IPO Readiness

• Own the accounting workstreams for DRHP readiness - restated financials, disclosure

checklists, auditor coordination for comfort letters

queries

• Work directly with merchant bankers, legal counsel, and auditors on financial due diligence

queries

• Proactively flag accounting gaps against listing requirements (track record, related-party

disclosures, segment reporting) rather than waiting to be asked

• Comfortable operating under external scrutiny and tight, non-negotiable regulatory timelines

5. Monthly MIS

• Prepare and present monthly MIS with variance analysis, ahead of management review
• Continuously redesign MIS templates and workflows for speed and clarity - this role owns the

"how," not just the "what"

6. Data Repository & Governance

• Own the structure, accuracy, and access controls of the finance data repository (GL, schedules,

audit files, board papers)

• Ensure version control and audit trail for all financial data

7. Process & Mindset

• Bring a startup/scale-up mindset: build repeatable process where none exists, question inefficient

legacy steps, and don't wait for perfect instructions

• Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities typical of a fast-growth, pre-IPO organization
• Actively identify and implement AI-driven efficiencies in accounting, reconciliation, MIS, and audit

workflows (e.g., automation of recurring reconciliations, AI-assisted variance analysis, use of

tools like Claude/ChatGPT for drafting and data structuring)

• Challenges the status quo constructively - expected to push back with data, not just execute

8. Team & Cross-functional

• Supervise P2P, accounts, and MIS executives; review their outputs before escalation
• Act as Checker on accounting-related tracker items in Director's absence

Desired Skills & Traits

• Qualified CA with 4-5 years post-qualification experience - mandatory filter, not negotiable
• Strong Ind AS/accounting fundamentals; hands-on ERP experience (SAP/Oracle/Tally)
• Proven statutory audit closure experience, ideally at a company that has gone through or is

preparing for IPO

• Demonstrated experience in a startup or fast-scaling company - not only large, process-heavy

organizations

• High ownership mindset; energized by ambiguity and building from scratch
• Practical, hands-on use of AI tools in finance workflows - not just awareness
• Attention to detail balanced with pace
