We're hiring a Finance & Accounts professional to own day-to-day accounting, compliance, and financial operations for our India entity. This isn't a traditional bookkeeping role. You'll be expected to run a lean, largely self-operating finance function — using AI tools and automation to eliminate manual, repetitive work, and spending your own time on judgment calls, exceptions, and analysis instead.
We'd rather hire someone who can build a system that does 80% of the reconciliation for them than someone who reconciles quickly by hand.
What You'll Own
Books & Compliance: Day-to-day bookkeeping, vendor and customer invoicing, GST/TDS filings, payroll compliance, and statutory filings (ROC, PF, PT, etc.) for the India entity.
Reconciliations: Bank, vendor, and intercompany reconciliations — ideally with a system in place that flags exceptions rather than requiring line-by-line manual matching.
Month-end close: Own the close calendar, journal entries, accruals, and reporting packages; work toward shrinking close time quarter over quarter.
AP/AR operations: Invoice processing,



payment runs, collections follow-up, and expense management.
Audit & compliance readiness: Coordinate with auditors, tax consultants, and company secretary; maintain audit-ready documentation continuously rather than scrambling at year-end.
Process automation: Identify manual, repetitive finance workflows and either configure existing tools or use AI/no-code automation to remove yourself from the loop.
What We're Looking For
Core finance skills
2–5 years of experience in accounting/finance operations, ideally at a startup or quick-growing company (SaaS experience is a strong plus).
Strong working knowledge of Indian accounting standards, GST, TDS, and statutory compliance.
Hands-on experience with an accounting system (Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks, or similar); ERP exposure (NetSuite) is a bonus.
Comfortable owning the full close cycle independently, not just executing assigned tasks.
