Job description

Fractional CFO (URGENT - Closing this week)

Every critical decision routing through one founder isn't a leadership strength. It's a governance gap waiting to become a crisis.

We're hiring a Fractional CFO for a fast-scaling, multi-entity business group (IT & Systems Integration, Device Refurbishment, Telecom Software) that's crossed ~₹150 Cr in aggregate revenue — and is now hitting the wall that growth without financial architecture always builds.

What you'll own:

• Working capital and 90-day cash bridge structuring against large receivables
• Debt structuring — negotiating enhanced CC/OD limits, LC/BG lines with banking partners as the group scales past ₹100 Cr
• Margin optimisation — setting gross margin thresholds by business line, running forensic cost audits
• Strategic M&A — leading financial due diligence on an active acquisition, and building the group's fundraising narrative for institutional debt/equity

What success looks like:

• Zero statutory compliance defaults, cash bridge secured within 20 days
• Working capital lines extended 25-30%, cost of debt down 100-150 bps
• Consolidated EBITDA margin up 3-5%

The engagement:

20-24 hrs/week, remote + few days in office in a month. This is a fractional C-suite mandate — full ownership of the financial engine, without the full-time overhead.

If you've built and run finance for a ₹100-500 Cr entrepreneurial group — not a large corporate finance function, but a hands-on, founder-adjacent CFO who can fix the plumbing and build the runway + if you can join immediately + if you are in Mumbai or Pune + if you can commit at least 6-12 months — this is worth a conversation.
