WHO WE ARE
Energeia is an Industrial Energy Savings Company. We find energy waste in factories and commercial buildings, fix it, and get paid from the savings we verify. Since 2018 we have completed 1,200+ site appraisals and 250+ energy audits, and saved customers ₹256 Crore in energy costs. We are a BEE-accredited ESCO with offices in 5 cities, our own manufacturing and training facility in Haryana, and technology partnerships with ABB, L&T; and GFS Corp (USA).
In August 2026 we launched August Energeia with Singapore-based August Energy: a $100M platform that finances, installs and operates energy infrastructure for Indian industry, so customers pay from savings instead of upfront capex. The capital comes from global institutional investors including Proparco and responsAbility.
WHY THIS ROLE, WHY NOW
Every project now sits inside an institutional-grade structure. Clean books, clean contracts and clean compliance are what let capital move.
We run five revenue streams: ESCO and project fees, product sales, AMC and SaaS subscriptions, GCC retainers and cash flows from live ESCO projects. Investors want each one booked, filed and reported monthly. This is a new finance leadership seat: you will own the numbers, lead the Accounts team, and grow into Head of Finance as we scale.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
- Books and close: month-end and year-end close in Zoho Books, with reconciliations, accruals and revenue recognition across all five streams
- Statutory compliance: the full calendar for GST, TDS, advance tax, income tax, PF, ESI and ROC, with zero late filings
- CA and audit: manage our external CA firm and lead statutory and tax audits from schedules to sign-off
- MIS: monthly P&L; by business line, cash flow, receivables, payables and people cost
- Investor reporting: monthly and quarterly investor packs and project-level P&L; for ESCO and Cooling-as-a-Service assets
- Cash and collections: a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast, and receivables discipline with Sales
- Controls: payment approval, vendor onboarding and expense policies that scale across 5 cities
- Budgets: build the annual budget with function heads and track variance monthly
- Team: lead and develop the Accounts team, and replace manual work with Zoho automation and AI tools
WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
- First 90 days: compliance calendar live and owned; first MIS published on a fixed date; close process documented with the Accounts team
- 6 months: close in 7 working days; MIS out by the 10th of every month; first quarterly investor pack delivered on time
- 12 months: zero late filings or penalties; statutory audit closed on time with no material qualifications; cash forecast and next year's budget running
WHAT YOU BRING
- Qualified Chartered Accountant, 5 to 8 years post-qualification, at least 2 inside a company (not only in practice)
- Personal ownership of month-end close for a business with multiple revenue streams
- Hands-on GST, TDS, income tax and PF/ESI compliance, run without penalties
- Has managed an external CA firm and a statutory audit through to sign-off
- Has built an MIS from a raw ledger in Excel: P&L;,
cash flow and receivables
- Has led or coached an accounts team of 2 to 5 people
- Zoho Books or Tally, and advanced Excel
STRONG PLUS
- Project or infrastructure accounting, with asset-level cash flows
- Reporting to institutional investors, PE funds or DFIs
- Ind AS, FEMA and ODI exposure for international entities
- ESOP accounting and valuation coordination
- Zoho One beyond Books: CRM, Expense, People
- Daily use of AI tools for analysis and automation
HOW WE WORK
- Trust: radical openness and transparency in everything we do
- Growth mindset: experiment, fail forward, invest in your own learning
- Ownership: results-driven people who solve more than their own problems
- Community: cooperative, inclusive teams that enjoy working together
- Fairness and decency: do what is right, not what is easier
- Resilience: welcome the challenges that push us, and come back stronger
WHAT WE OFFER
- Competitive compensation, based on experience
- A direct line to the CEO and a defined path to Head of Finance
- A seat at the table for investor conversations with August Energy and its partners
- Exposure to global partners: ABB, GFS Corp and August Energy
THIS ROLE IS NOT FOR YOU IF
- You want a pure compliance role. Half of this job is MIS, cash and investor reporting.
- You need a finished process and a large team. You will build both, with a lean team.
- You prefer to advise from outside. Here you own the numbers and sign for them.
