Job Summary

Finance Controller - Onsite Bengaluru, Karnataka, India. CA / CA Inter (with articleship) / MBA Finance. 4-6 years experience.

Role overview

We are looking for a finance controller to own the controllership function onsite. This is a control and oversight role, not a day-to-day book-keeping one the routine accounting runs beneath you, and you own the close, the reporting, the compliance, and the controls on top of it. You will work closely with the founder and leadership, and someone who has done their articleship and worked under practising CAs will be a strong fit.

Responsibilities

• Financial control & close: Own the month-end and year-end close. Review the books maintained by the accounts team, run reconciliations, and ensure accurate, audit-ready financials across entities.


• Reporting & MIS: Prepare and own monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Build MIS, budgets, and variance analysis that drive leadership decisions, and present the numbers with a clear point of view.


• Compliance & audit: Oversee GST, TDS, income tax, PF, ESI, and ROC compliance. Manage statutory and internal audits end to end, and act as the primary point of contact for auditors and consultants.


• Controls & governance: Design and enforce financial controls, approval workflows, and process discipline. Strengthen systems as the company scales and flag risks early.


• Cross-border coordination: Oversee finance coordination across our India, UK, and UAE operations, working with local accountants and advisors where needed.

Requirements

• 4-6 years of experience, with articleship and time spent working under practising CAs


• CA Inter (with completed articleship), or MBA Finance with strong controllership exposure


• Someone who owns financial control and reporting, not day-to-day data entry


• Individuals who take ownership, communicate proactively, and follow through

Key skills & traits

Required

• Strong grasp of accounting standards, financial reporting, and close processes


• Hands-on experience with statutory compliance (GST, TDS, income tax, PF, ESI, ROC)


• Experience managing audits independently


• Strong MIS, budgeting, and variance analysis skills in Excel


• Ability to review and supervise an accounts team rather than do the entries yourself


• Sound judgement, integrity, and attention to detail

Good to have

• Articleship or early career at a reputed CA firm


• Experience across multiple entities or geographies


• Exposure to cross-border / international accounting


• Familiarity with Tally, Zoho Books, or similar


• Prior experience in a scaling startup environment
