Finance Head / Finance Controller

The role:

We're institutionally funded and scaling fast, and need the financial spine to match: clean books, a monthly MIS the board trusts, and compliance handled before it's asked about. You'll be our first full time finance leader, owning everything from statutory filings to the operating model, and building the systems a company goes from thirty people to three hundred.

what you'll own:

Monthly close and MIS, board and investor reporting, and the annual audit. The full compliance calendar: ROC, GST including export documentation, FEMA filings on foreign investment, and payroll statutory obligations. The operating financial model, kept honest against actuals. The spec for a contributor payout engine: paying hundreds of gig collectors monthly, reconciled against accepted hours, with TDS correct at source.

who you are:

A Chartered Accountant with six to ten years' experience, including owning finance at a venture backed startup after its Series A. Have faced an audit, a board, and a diligence process, and none of them rattles you. Precise about deadlines, because you know which filings become expensive when missed. Want ownership earlier than a large company would give it to you.
