About the Role

We're looking for a Finance Manager who can take independent charge of our financial operations. You'll own cashflow planning, cost discipline, and the finance team—freeing our CEO from day-to-day transaction sign-offs while he stays involved in big strategic decisions.

This is not a reactive role. You anticipate cash shortfalls, challenge vendor costs, enforce expense policies, and make sure every rupee is justified. You report directly to the CEO.

What You'll Own

Cashflow Planning & Visibility

Build and maintain rolling weekly and monthly cashflow forecasts

Know exactly what's coming in, going out, and when

Flag cash bottlenecks in advance and propose solutions

Prepare weekly cash position reports for leadership

Cost Control & Vendor Management

Scrutinize company expenses—question necessity, benchmark vendors, flag inefficiencies

Design and enforce expense approval processes with transparent thresholds

Review recurring costs and subscriptions quarterly—kill redundancies

Create a culture where cost discipline is normal

Payment Optimization

You decide who to pay, when, and if we can defer (CEO sets priorities and non-negotiables)

Optimize payment timing to protect our cash position

Coordinate with our accounting team on invoice and receipt management

Team Leadership





Manage 2 finance interns with clear expectations and accountability

Set standards and hold them to SLAs

Develop them while maintaining financial discipline

What Success Looks Like (90 days)

✓ Weekly cashflow forecasts are live and accurate ✓ Expense approvals happen independently—only big decisions reach the CEO ✓ Finance interns have clear checklists and SLAs ✓ Cost benchmarking is underway on top 3 vendors ✓ CEO doesn't ask about cash. You tell him.
