About The Opportunity

A profitable, fast-growing, PE Backed- dairy and F&B; business — selling across D2C and B2B channels and backed by a leading growth-equity investor — is looking for a Head of Finance to build the financial backbone for its next stage of scale.

The business runs a lean, highly automated operating model with solid in-house technology. Finance today is a lean, capable setup; the mandate now is to professionalise and scale it putting in place the systems, controls, and reporting that a growing, institutionally-backed company needs.

The Role

This is a build role. You will own the finance function end to end and take it from a lean accounting setup to a scalable, systems-driven organisation — implementing the ERP, MIS, SOPs, and controls to support rapid growth, while keeping the operation lean and efficient.

Key Responsibilities

Build and lead the finance function as the company scales across D2C and B2B
Select and implement an ERP, moving the business onto a scalable, automated platform
Design and institutionalise SOPs across finance, procurement,



and operations interfaces
Build a robust MIS and management reporting cadence for the leadership team and investors
Own statutory compliance, audit readiness, and financial controls
Partner with operations on unit economics and the plant operating model
Manage cash flow, working capital, and procurement finance in a supply-chain-heavy business
Support investor and board-level financial reporting

What We're Looking For

Qualified CA (or equivalent) with 8–15 years of progressive finance experience
Big 4 audit background or significant Big 4 audit exposure
Hands-on experience implementing an ERP — having led or co-led a rollout
Proven track record of building SOPs, MIS, and financial controls in a growing or founder-led business
Comfort operating hands-on in a lean setup while building for scale
Experience in F&B;, FMCG, dairy, agri-processing, D2C, or manufacturing is strongly preferred
