Company: ViTWO (6 Livo Technologies Pvt. Ltd.)
Location: Newtown, Kolkata, West Bengal
Job Type: Full-time
Shift: Night shift, US-aligned (ET coverage)
Pay: Competitive, commensurate with expertise and certifications
Full
Lead the delivery of accurate, US GAAP-compliant accounting, controllership and financial reporting for ViTWO's portfolio of US-based SMB and start-up clients, translate the numbers into CFO-level guidance for client leadership, and own ViTWO's SOC 2 readiness and control environment so that the US SPV can credibly sell itself as a trusted outsourced finance partner. The role is the technical and quality backbone of the US practice: it sets the close methodology, reviews the work of the accounting team, is the escalation point for US clients and CPA-firm partners, and keeps the practice current on US regulatory change.
Responsibilities:
- Own month/quarter/year-end close and US GAAP reporting for client portfolios
- Lead SOC 2 readiness, control design, and external audit coordination
- Deliver CFO-level insights: budgeting, forecasting, board reporting
- Coordinate US tax compliance with client CPA firms
- Mentor and manage the US accounting team, client relationships.
Must Have Requirements:
- Chartered Accountant (ICAI) and US CPA licence. A US CPA licence (active or eligible with exams passed) is strongly preferred; where the candidate is a CA without CPA, ViTWO will sponsor CPA licensure within an agreed timeframe.
- 6 to 7 years of relevant experience in US accounting, audit, or outsourced / virtual CFO services,
including at least 3 years reviewing (not only preparing) US GAAP financials.
- Hands-on experience with SOC 1 / SOC 2 — either as a controls owner inside a service organisation that achieved a report, or as part of an attestation team at a CPA firm. Formal certifications such as CISA or the AICPA SOC for Service Organizations certificate are an advantage, not a requirement.
- Strong working knowledge of US GAAP, financial statement preparation and close processes, including revenue recognition and equity accounting for start-ups.
- Excellent verbal and written English, with confidence engaging directly with US-based founders and CPA partners.
- Working knowledge of accounting / ERP platforms (QuickBooks Online, Xero, NetSuite or similar) and advanced Excel; familiarity with the surrounding US SMB stack (Bill.com, Gusto / Rippling, Ramp / Brex, Stripe).
- Willingness and prior experience working in US shift hours or with US clients.
Valuable to Have:
- Prior experience in a virtual CFO, outsourced accounting or professional-services firm serving SMB or start-up clients.
- Exposure to multi-entity, multi-client accounting environments; consolidation and intercompany.
- Experience liaising directly with external auditors for SOC or other compliance audits.
- Experience with compliance-automation platforms (Vanta, Drata, Sprinto) and with responding to security questionnaires.
- US federal / state tax exposure (EA credential, or experience supporting 1120 / 1065 preparation).
- Experience building a team or practice from launch stage; Big-4 GDS / US-GAAP shared-service background
