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 clear 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.
