About the prospect

We are partnering with a Private Equity fund to recruit a Chief Financial Officer for a new NBFC platform being built from the ground up.

The CFO will be a fund appointee, working alongside the operating management team. This is a rare opportunity to be at the founding table of a PE-owned NBFC, shaping its financial architecture, governance, and scaling trajectory from day one.

Treasury & ALM

- Build and manage the liability franchise — bank lines, NCDs, and other borrowing instruments
- Own Asset-Liability Management (ALM), liquidity risk, and interest rate risk frameworks
- Lead fundraising and capital market activities in line with growth targets




- Manage cost of funds and optimize the funding mix as the AUM scales

Strategic finance & investor relations

- Act as the primary financial interface with the PE fund — reporting, covenants, and governance
- Drive financial planning, budgeting, and AUM growth projections
- Support portfolio company M&A; or acquisition diligence as the platform expands
- Build the financial systems and technology infrastructure fit for scale

Regulatory & governance

- Interface with RBI for all regulatory reporting, audits, and compliance matters
- Implement board governance frameworks aligned with PE fund expectations
- Monitor capital adequacy (CRAR), NPA provisioning, and credit risk metrics

- Hands-on experience managing AUM of ₹2,500 crore and above
- Prior Board-level or CFO-designate exposure strongly preferred
