• Review P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and key financial metrics and identify significant variances or areas requiring management attention.
• Prepare and monitor budgets, forecasts, cash‑flow projections, and variance analysis.
• Work closely with business and operations teams to understand commercial decisions and their impact on revenue, costs, margins, and profitability.
• Manage banking relationships, working capital facilities, bank renewals and limit enhancements, including documentation and negotiations; monitor banking facilities and working capital and prepare CMA data, stock statements and financial projections.
• Identify financial leakages, cost inefficiencies, process gaps, and control weaknesses, and recommend corrective actions.
• Strengthen internal controls, accounting processes, financial systems, and reporting mechanisms.
• Ensure timely and accurate GST, TDS, taxation, audit, and other statutory compliances.

Coordinate with statutory auditors, tax consultants, banks, vendors, and other external stakeholders.

Ensure accuracy, integrity, and timely availability of financial data across the organisation.

Candidate Profile

• Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) with 5+ years of post-qualification experience.
