Role & responsibilities

Lead, guide, and expand the finance and accounts team, including

the Accounts Executive. Review all GST and TDS filings before

submission. The team's output is your responsibility.

Lead debt fund-raising activities - term loans, working capital

facilities, CC limits, and NBFC arrangements. Prepare CMA data,

project reports, and financial models independently. Own all

banking relationships from sanction through renewal. Evaluate

funding options and recommend optimal capital structures.

Build and maintain investor-ready financial reporting - P&L;,

balance sheet, cash flow, and unit economics. Keep the founder and

future investors in constant, real-time visibility of how the

company is growing - this is a core deliverable, not a periodic

task. Track exactly what the company earns and spends, and present

that picture clearly and on schedule. Support startup-specific

compliance - DPIIT registration and Startup India advantages.

Own income tax strategy and resolution, tax representation and

advisory, and all direct tax matters. Oversee GST filings and

reconciliations across entities. Provide tax planning and

optimization guidance. Stay current on regulatory and tax law

changes relevant to the business.

Manage the distinct financial and compliance requirements of the

company's diversified agricultural and technology operations.

Maintain accurate income classification across all revenue

streams. Develop and maintain financial models for business

planning and management decision-making.

Ensure the books are audit-ready and investor-ready at all times.

Coordinate statutory and tax audits directly with auditors and

consultants.

Mandatory software: Tally Prime and Busy Accounting Software.

Required: Odoo ERP working knowledge and Advanced MS Excel. Power





BI preferred but not mandatory.

Preferred candidate profile

This role is not for everyone. It requires someone who has already

proven they can hold financial ownership without a senior checking

their work. If your experience so far has been executing tasks

assigned by someone above you, this is not the right stage for you

to apply.

A qualified Chartered Accountant with 1 to 3 years post-qualification

experience who has independently owned financial decisions - not

executed decisions made by others. Someone who has directly handled

banking relationships, fund-raising documentation, and tax

representation without a senior CA to escalate to.

Precision under scrutiny is essential - every report you produce

may be reviewed by a bank, investor, or government authority

without notice. The judgment to catch a discrepancy before it

becomes a problem, not after.

Comfortable leading a team while remaining hands-on with every

financial detail. Experience with commodity trading, agricultural

businesses, or multi-entity structures is strongly preferred.

If you are looking for a structured role with clearly defined

tasks and a senior CA to escalate to, this is not that role. We

would rather you grow into this role at your next company than

struggle through it at ours.

Perks and benefits

Complete ownership of a company's financial function - not a

department role, the function itself.

Direct exposure to fund-raising, banking relationships, income tax

strategy, and multi-entity financial architecture simultaneously -

breadth most CAs spend a decade piecing together across different

jobs.

Direct reporting line to the founder. No intermediate layer between

your work and company decision-making.

Lead and shape a finance team from an early stage rather than

inheriting a fixed structure.
