Experience: 5+ years post-qualification (CA) / MBA Finance 10-12 Years of experience.

Reports to: CFO / Founders

The Role

We are hiring a Chartered Accountant / MBA Finance to own and lead the accounts and finance function end-to-end. This is a high-ownership, founder-facing role for someone who wants to build the finance backbone of a scaling startup - not just maintain it. You will run the books, keep us fully compliant (including FEMA/RBI reporting on the foreign-currency investment we receive), own investor MIS, manage banker relationships, and give the founders a clean, forward-looking view of cash, receivables and projections.

Key Responsibilities

Accounting & Book Closure

• Own timely and accurate monthly, quarterly and annual closure of books of accounts.
• Maintain a clean general ledger, trial balance, reconciliations and fixed-asset register; keep books audit-ready at all times.
• Manage accounts payable, accounts receivable, payroll accounting and vendor payments.
• Lead statutory and internal audits and coordinate with auditors to closure.

Compliance & Foreign Remittance

• Ensure 100% on-time statutory compliance - GST (filing & reconciliation), TDS, income tax, ROC/MCA filings, PF/ESIC and professional tax.
• Income Tax and GST Scrutiny / Assessment procedure.
• Own foreign remittance and FEMA/RBI compliance - reporting on foreign-currency investment received (FCGPR, FIRC) and any outward remittances (Form 15CA/15CB).
• Maintain the compliance calendar and secretarial coordination so nothing is ever missed or attracts a penalty.

Investor MIS & Reporting

• Prepare and deliver accurate, timely monthly/quarterly investor and board MIS, with commentary on burn, runway, ARR/MRR, NRR and unit economics.
• Own the data room and support the ongoing fundraise with schedules, cap-table inputs and diligence responses.
• Build and maintain finance dashboards that founders and investors trust.

Treasury, Banking & Receivables

• Manage banker relationships - facilities, limits, documentation and day-to-day coordination.
• Own receivable planning and collections - track ageing, drive DSO down, and keep cash inflow predictable.
• Manage working capital, cash-flow and treasury operations.

Planning, Projections & Controls

• Build and maintain rolling projections - cash-flow, runway, P&L and budget vs. actuals - and explain variances.
• Support annual budgeting and business planning with the founders.
• Strengthen finance processes, controls and automation (Tally/ERP, expense and reconciliation workflows).

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• Investor MIS : - Accurate monthly & quarterly investor / board MIS delivered by the agreed date, every cycle. Zero restatements. Board-ready commentary on burn, runway, ARR/MRR and unit economics.
• Book closure : - Monthly books closed within 5-7 working days; clean, audit-ready GL, trial balance and reconciliations at all times.
• Compliance & foreign remittance : - 100% on-time statutory compliance - GST, TDS, ROC/MCA, PF/ESIC - plus FEMA / RBI reporting on foreign-currency investment received (FC-GPR) and any outward remittances (Form 15CA/15CB). No penalties or late fees.
• Banker relationship : - Proactive, healthy relationships with all bankers; facilities, limits and documentation kept current; quick turnaround on banker requests.
• Receivable planning : - DSO reduced and held to target; disciplined collection follow-up; ageing reviewed weekly with no surprises on cash.

• Working knowledge of FEMA / foreign remittance compliance, or the ability and appetite to own it quickly.
