ABOUT METADOME
Metadome is a deep-tech company building deterministic 3D visualization, CAD-intelligence, and digital twin products for automotive and industrial OEMs. Headquartered in Bengaluru with a growing footprint in the US and the Middle East, we are scaling from a services-led business into a global, productized platform — and finance is central to making that transition disciplined and fundable. THE ROLE
We are hiring a hands-on Finance & Accounts Manager to own end-to-end finance operations across our Indian and US entities: accounting, taxation, statutory compliance, treasury, payroll, MIS, and financial reporting. You will work directly with the founders and our external CA/CPA partners, and you will play a mandatory, hands-on role in fundraising — investor data rooms, financial due diligence, and board reporting.
This is a builder's seat. You will put in place the systems, controls, and reporting cadence of a company preparing for its next institutional round. WHAT YOU'LL OWN
Controllership & Compliance
Books of accounts and monthly close for the India entity; coordination with our US CPA on the US entity's books and filings
End-to-end statutory compliance: GST, TDS, ROC/MCA filings, and the annual compliance calendar
Payroll processing and employee compliance (PF, ESI, PT, gratuity)
Cross-border hygiene: intercompany agreements and reconciliations, transfer pricing documentation, FEMA/RBI filings
Statutory, tax, and internal audit coordination; internal controls and finance policies
Treasury & Working Capital
Cash flow planning and treasury management across entities and currencies
Banking relationships, forex, and payment operations
Working capital discipline: receivables follow-through, vendor terms, and continuous runway tracking
Billing, AR/AP & Vendor Management
Invoicing and collections for enterprise OEM customers across geographies — both milestone/project billing and subscription billing
Revenue recognition across services and product/subscription lines
Accounts payable, vendor onboarding, contract compliance, and dispute resolution
FP&A;, MIS & Board Reporting
Annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis with functional leaders
Monthly MIS and board packs on a fixed calendar
SaaS and services metrics: ARR, NRR, gross margin by revenue line, burn, and runway
Financial inputs for pricing and commercial decisions
Fundraising & Investor Relations (Mandatory)
Hands-on support for institutional fundraising: financial model, valuation inputs, and runway scenarios
Build and maintain a diligence-ready investor data room as a standing asset
Drive financial due diligence to close; coordinate founders, investors, auditors, company secretary, and legal counsel
Investor MIS and reporting cadence post-raise; cap table and ESOP administration support
Systems & Process
Own the finance stack (accounting/ERP, payroll, expenses, billing) and automate manual workflows
Document SOPs so the function is audit- and diligence-ready by default MUST-HAVES
8–10 years in finance & accounts, including 3–5 years in a VC-funded SaaS or technology startup
Hands-on participation in at least one institutional fundraising round — data room, due diligence, and investor reporting. This is non-negotiable.
Solid command of Indian accounting standards, direct and indirect taxation, and corporate compliance
Experience running statutory audits and building internal controls
Fluency in SaaS metrics and startup finance
Advanced Excel / Google Sheets; hands-on with ERP and accounting tools (e.g., Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks, NetSuite)
STRONG TO HAVE
CA / CMA / MBA (Finance) or equivalent
Exposure to US entity accounting, US GAAP, or India–US cross-border structures and transfer pricing
Enterprise B2B billing across currencies and geographies
ESOP administration and cap table tooling
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE
Monthly close and MIS run on a fixed, predictable calendar A live, diligence-ready data room maintained continuously — not rebuilt as a fire drill before each raise
Clean statutory audits across entities, with no material findings A rolling cash flow and runway model the founders use for real decisions
Zero missed statutory filings across the compliance calendar
WHY JOIN A front-row seat at a deep-tech company selling to global OEMs, right at the inflection from services to product
Direct work with the founders and genuine ownership of the finance function
Real fundraising exposure — you are in the room for the raise, not formatting spreadsheets outside it BEFORE YOU APPLY — MANDATORY FILTER
Apply only if you have managed end-to-end Finance & Accounts at a SaaS/technology startup and personally worked on fundraising, investor due diligence, and investor reporting. Applications without demonstrable fundraising experience will not be considered. In your application, briefly describe the round(s) you supported and exactly what you did.
Metadome is an equal-opportunity employer. We assess candidates on capability and evidence of ownership.
