About the Role

We are looking for a Chartered Accountant to own and drive the company's finance function across financial reporting, MIS, cash-flow management, accounting, taxation, audits, and statutory compliance.

This is a hands-on role for someone who can go beyond bookkeeping and independently manage the finance function, build strong financial controls, and provide management with accurate, actionable financial insights.

Key Responsibilities

Finance & Accounting

● Own day-to-day finance and accounting operations.

● Ensure accurate books of accounts, reconciliations, accruals, provisions and month-end closures.

● Review P&L;, Balance Sheet and Cash Flow statements.

● Coordinate with auditors, consultants, banks and other financial stakeholders.

● Establish and strengthen internal financial controls and processes.

MIS & Management Reporting

● Prepare weekly/monthly MIS for management.

● Develop dashboards covering revenue, gross margin, EBITDA, working capital,

receivables, payables and cash position.

● Analyse business performance and highlight variances, risks and opportunities.

● Build financial models and reports for management decision-making.

● Track budgets vs. actuals and provide variance analysis.

Cash Flow & Working Capital

● Own cash-flow planning and forecasting.

● Maintain daily/weekly visibility of cash position.

● Manage working capital, receivables and payables.

● Monitor collections, vendor payments and cash requirements.

● Identify opportunities to improve cash conversion and working-capital efficiency.

Taxation & Compliance

● Own GST, TDS, income-tax and other applicable statutory compliances.

● Ensure timely filing of returns, payments and regulatory submissions.

● Coordinate statutory,



tax and internal audits.

● Maintain compliance calendars and ensure zero missed deadlines.

● Support regulatory and corporate compliance requirements.

Business Finance

● Work closely with the founders and business teams on financial decisions.

● Evaluate unit economics, margins and profitability across business verticals.

● Support fundraising, due diligence and investor reporting.

● Assist with financial planning, budgeting and forecasting.

● Identify financial risks and recommend corrective actions.

What We're Looking For

● CA qualification with 2 to 5 years of relevant experience.

● Strong understanding of accounting, taxation, compliance and financial reporting.

● Excellent command of Excel / Google Sheets and MIS reporting.

● Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.

● Experience with ERP/accounting software and financial reporting systems.

● Ability to independently manage finance operations in a fast-growing company.

● Robust attention to detail with a high sense of ownership.

● Comfortable working directly with founders and senior management.

● Prior experience in a startup, e-commerce, retail, D2C or high-growth company

is preferred.

Ideal Candidate

We are looking for someone who is commercially sharp, highly analytical and

execution-oriented — not someone who only manages compliance and accounting.

The right person should be able to look at the numbers and answer:

● Where is our cash going

● Why did margins move this month

● Which business/channel/customer is profitable

● How much cash do we need over the next 30/60/90 days

● What is causing working-capital blockage

● What financial risks should management know about

● How can finance help the business grow faster
