What We're Looking For

Education

• Bachelor's degree in Commerce, Accounting, Finance, Business Administration or a related field (B.Com, BBA, BBM or equivalent).
• CA Inter, CMA, ACCA or other professional qualifications are a plus but not mandatory.

Experience

• Fresh graduates or candidates with 0–2 years of experience in Accounting, Finance, Audit or related roles are encouraged to apply.

Why Join Us?

This role is designed for someone who wants much more than a traditional accounting position.

You will receive hands‑on training and exposure to accounting, finance operations, compliance, payroll, reporting, cash flow management, revenue operations, audits and business finance in a fast‑growing SaaS startup.

We're looking for curious, ambitious individuals who are eager to learn, take ownership and build a long‑term career in corporate finance. Strong fundamentals, analytical thinking and a positive attitude matter more than extensive experience—we'll help you develop the rest.
