Role: Head of Finance

Location: Nariman Point, Mumbai

Company: Liquid Logistics Platform

Chartered Accountants, this role is built for the way you already think: close the books properly, protect the numbers, and make the governance hold.

Who is hiring

Haachi , an executive search firm, is retained by a liquid logistics platform to find its Head of Finance. The role reports to the company's promoters and leadership team in Mumbai.

About the company The platform is being built from a founding base. It is backed by seasoned infrastructure entrepreneurs and by one of the largest US-based private equity firms, with about US$758 billion in assets under management as of March 2026. That firm has agreed a majority investment to build a pan-India liquid storage and logistics platform through its Asia Pacific infrastructure strategy.

The platform is pursuing a proposed acquisition of a ₹200 crore liquid storage terminal and rail business, expected to grow to about ₹300 crore in two years. It targets a top-3 national position and about 1.5 million kL of static tank capacity over the next 3–5 years, with terminals on India's west and south coasts.

This is a build-and-integrate role, not a maintenance seat. You would arrive during the acquisition and own the finance function from the start.

What you would own

- Financial control and governance: end-to-end accounting across GL, AP/AR, inventory and fixed assets, through the monthly and annual close. Ensure reporting is accurate and complete, strengthen internal controls, and standardise processes.
- Cash flow and working capital:



own liquidity planning and rolling cash forecasts for an asset-intensive model. Drive discipline on receivables, payables and capital allocation, and manage banking relationships and funding.
- The ₹300 crore expansion: build and monitor the capex budget, work with the technical team to deliver on time and within budget, and oversee project accounting and tax structuring.
- Compliance and audit: GST, TDS and income tax, plus statutory, tax and internal audits.
- Strategic finance: advise leadership on pricing, margins and growth, with budgeting, forecasting, financial models and scenario analysis.
- Post-acquisition integration: align systems and reporting with group governance, flag integration risks early, build group-level dashboards, and lead and mentor the on-ground finance team.

What we are looking for

- Chartered Accountant
- 10–15 years of progressive finance experience
- Logistics, infrastructure, manufacturing or other asset-heavy experience preferred
- A strong grounding in accounting, internal controls and compliance
- Proven cash flow management and banking relationships
- Commercial judgement, and the ability to influence decisions without losing governance
- Comfort working independently in a high-accountability setting

Why this role matters to a CA You would build the finance function of a business scaling from ₹200 crore to ₹300 crore, with the controls and reporting a national platform needs. You would work directly with the founders on pricing, capex and growth, with institutional backing for the long term.

If you have run a close under pressure, defended an audit, or delivered a budget that was actually met, we would like to hear from you.
