Job Description Head of Finance
n Reports to: Founder
n n The opportunity
n n Aliens Tattoo is the most recognised name in premium tattooing in India — a ₹45 Cr brand with a credible line of sight to ₹500 Cr by 2030, built across three businesses: a premium studio network scaling from 14 to 100 locations, India's largest tattoo school, and a growing home-service line.
n Growth on that scale runs on finance built for it: one platform across every entity, controls designed for a hundred locations, cost and unit economics for every line of business, and a financial plan that holds up eighteen months ahead. We are building that finance function now, at the ground floor of the growth — and we're looking for the leader who builds it.
n n The mandate
n n You will own finance end-to-end across all three businesses — books, close, tax, compliance, controls, cash, costing, budgets, forecasts, business finance, finance systems and franchise reporting. Multiple legal entities, multi-state, and adding more of both every year.
n You'll build the function itself: a lean team of six to eight, hired by you, running finance as a system — so the function's strength is its design, not any one person's hours.
n You will report to the Founder, sit at the strategy table, and author the rules every rupee in this company moves by.
n n What you'll be doing
n n Running the financial engine of a multi-entity company — the close on a published calendar, filings and taxes never missed across every state, books that hold up to anyone who looks.
n Consolidating three businesses onto one financial platform — one chart of accounts, POS and payroll integrated, consolidated numbers with no manual assembly. You'll run the implementation yourself: vendor directed,



milestones held.
n Writing the controls a growing network runs on — cash handling, spending authority, fraud prevention — designed so a hundred locations run as tightly as five.
n Building cost and unit economics for everything the company sells and runs, across every business line and revenue stream — and choosing the right units to measure the business by.
n Improving profitability as standing work: pricing reviewed against true cost, spend kept lean, margins and returns pushed up through decisions the numbers make obvious.
n Partnering every function on the money side of their decisions — site economics for expansion, incentive structures, salary structuring, pricing floors. They bring rough questions; you bring back worked models; they make the call.
n Producing the numbers the company runs on — cash flow, P&L; by location, budget versus actual, unit economics, franchise partner statements — each on a fixed date, with everything that leaves the building held to a sharper bar.
n Owning cash across every entity — position known at any moment, payments directed, working capital and banking relationships kept ready — and running the budget and rolling forecast that tell us the growth plan is affordable long before we commit.
n Building and growing the team that does all of the above.
n n What we're looking for




n n You've done this before — run a finance function through a growth phase, not just a ledger. Multi-entity, multi-state experience is expected; multi-location or franchise businesses are a serious plus.
n You are strong on both halves of finance, and we mean both. The close, the compliance calendar, the controls — you've run them well enough to design them for scale. And the commercial half — costing, unit economics, business models, forecasts — you've built these where they didn't exist. Most finance leaders are valuable at one of these. This role needs both, in the same person, in the same week.
n You've owned a systems implementation end-to-end — selection, vendor, migration, go-live — and it landed. You automate what you touch, and you've improved your own workflow with AI in the last year, with a before-and-after you can show.
n You know when to bring in a specialist — tax, systems, banking — and how to get full value from them: you appoint, you brief, you stay accountable for the result.
n You build teams. You hire on merit, coach as standing work, run performance seriously, and grow people until the function runs on their strength, not your presence.
n CA, CMA or a Finance MBA, with 12+ years in finance — most of them in operating businesses, not advisory. That's the base. What we're actually hiring is the judgment built on top of it.
