We aren't just a bridge of financial support; We believe in a future where deserving students can pursue their dreams and ambitions – even if their parents don't have money.
Starting with financial barriers, we're offering loans to international students and refugees, helping them pursue better education in Canada and unlock a world of possibilities – not just for themselves, but for their families and future generations, too.
We're looking for an exceptional finance qualified with a CA (ICAI) or CPA designation and 3–5 years of progressive post-qualification experience in accounting and finance. You'll work directly with the finance lead at our Canadian head office and take meaningful ownership of accounting, reporting, compliance and filings.
We need someone we can trust to run the accounting, close the month, get the numbers right, and keep the company compliant across every jurisdiction we operate in. As the business grows, you'll be the person the finance lead relies on to make sure the financial foundation is sound.
Because you'll be collaborating closely with the Canadian head office across a 9.5–10.5 hour time difference, extended or shifted hours are likely. You'll take full ownership of core accounting, reporting, compliance and filings, with exposure across audit, internal controls, and cross-functional initiatives that support our product and growth.
Accounting & Financial reporting
Lead day-to-day accounting operations and month-end close
Prepare monthly financial statements under IFRS and support external audit
Maintain and document accounting policies, memos, and reconciliations
Work with the Canadian head office on statutory, tax and regulatory filings, with the expectation of leading these over time
Finance Operations
Design and manage finance-related processes integrated with our product
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to automate manual workflows
Run day-to-day financial operations, including payroll, vendor payments and banking across entities
Strategic Reporting & Analysis
Partner with the finance lead on investor and board reporting
Support strategic decision-making while preparing and maintaining critical source-of-truth datasets across accounting, operations, and lending
Build tools and frameworks to track KPIs, unit economics, and cash flow
You'll also be a key contributor to long-term projects like audit readiness, financial model development, and future financing events – with increasing ownership based on performance.
CA (ICAI) or CPA designation with 3–5 years of post-qualification experience, ideally starting in Big 4 audit
Strong understanding of accounting principles and financial reporting under IFRS or equivalent
Comfort working independently in Excel and building reporting from scratch
Strong written English and the ability to work effectively across time zones
Experience in financial services, lending, NBFC or fintech, or structured credit
Experience with expected credit loss (IFRS 9 or equivalent) modelling and reporting
Exposure to Indian/Canadian tax and regulatory filings (e.g. Experience reporting to a foreign parent or head office
Exposure to FP&A;, financial modelling, or investor reporting
Experience building and/or testing internal controls
Familiarity with data visualization tools (e.g. Power BI, Looker Studio)
We're on a mission to make the world a fairer place, one student at a time. Note: This role is based in Gurgaon, India, and requires a five-day-a-week in-office commitment. You will work directly with the finance lead at our Canadian head office, and extended or shifted hours are likely given the time difference. Applicants must be willing to relocate to the Delhi NCR area if they're not already there.
Let's help shape a future where every dream can thrive – no matter where it begins.
