About the Role
We're looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to take full ownership of the finance function at Disseqt AI. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to work directly with the Founders and leadership team on strategic financial decisions, while also managing the day-to-day rigor of compliance, reporting, and controllership across multiple geographies and entities, including our UK-based subsidiary. What You'll Own Financial Management & Accounting
• Drive the annual budget and rolling forecasts, tracking actuals vs. plan and flagging variances before they become surprises.
• Build the financial models that power our growth: revenue, burn, and runway across SKUs (Managed SaaS, Enterprise Deployment) and GTM partners. Own unit economics (CAC, ARR/SKU, contract margins) end to end.
• Model deal economics on GSI-led contracts and POC-to-conversion revenue; build scenario models (best/base/worst) that fuel real planning and fundraise conversations.
• Keep the books clean: bookkeeping, reconciliations, reporting, and lead the accounts team and auditors who make it happen.
• Own compliance across India, Ireland, and UK entities (GST, TDS, ROC, VAT and beyond); weigh in on entity structuring and transfer pricing as we scale globally. Budgeting & Financial Planning
• Turn forecasts, cash flow, and P&L; into decisions the founders can act on.
• Find cost efficiencies and tighten financial operations as we grow fast.
• Be a key player in fundraising, diligence, and investor reporting, and a trusted voice on scalability and expansion strategy. Tax & Compliance
• Tax planning to optimize liabilities across borders.
• Build the financial guardrails that keep us moving fast without breaking things. Reporting & Governance
• Own the monthly Investor MIS: make it sharp, accurate, on time.
• Team up with auditors and legal to keep governance rock-solid. International Transactions
• Run cross-border payments and intercompany transactions like clockwork, with clean forex handling (conversion, hedging, gains/losses).
• Stay ahead of FEMA, FDI/ODI, EDPMS/IDPMS, and LRS regulations, plus transfer pricing, DTAA, and withholding tax.
• Be the go-to person banks and legal counsel call for smooth international money movement, and the radar for current-market regulatory shifts. Audit Ownership
• Be THE point person for every audit (statutory, tax, internal) across every entity and geography.
• Keep us audit-ready 365 days a year, not just crunch week.
• Build real relationships with auditors and regulators across India, US, Ireland, and UK, and get ahead of issues before they're issues. What You'll Get
• Full ownership of the finance function, no red tape.
• Direct line to the Founders on the calls that matter.
• A front-row seat building the finance backbone of a high-growth AI startup. We need you to have Experience and Qualifications
• 3-6 years of experience in finance, accounting, or controllership roles.
• Chartered Accountant (CA), MBA (Finance), or equivalent qualification. Skills
• Strong understanding of tax laws, financial compliance, forex transactions and RBI compliance and corporate finance
