Experience:
2
- 6 years About Smart Node: Smart Node is one of Indias fastest-growing home automation companies, headquartered in Vadodara. We design, manufacture, and deliver smart living solutions across hardware, firmware, software, and customer experience all under one roof. With a growing team of nearly 120 people, Smart Node is building a category-defining lifestyle technology brand focused on making homes smarter, simpler, and more intuitive. We are in a strong growth phase — expanding beyond our pan-India channel partner network into company-run experience showrooms across multiple cities. The Opportunity: Our accounts team maintains strong, accurate books. What we need now is someone who can turn those books into insight — clear numbers that show how every showroom, every product, and the company as a whole is performing, and why. This role sits at the intersection of finance, operations, sales, and leadership. As a Finance Analyst – MIS & FP&A;, you will own both sides of business finance: MIS that shows how we are performing today, and planning (FP&A;) that shapes where we go next. You will start by building a strong MIS foundation — accurate P&Ls; for every showroom, product, and the company — and then lead budgeting, forecasting, and business cases that guide our expansion. This role offers:
- High ownership
- Direct exposure to leadership
- Fast learning opportunities
- Cross-functional visibility across the organization

Key Responsibilities
1. P&L; Ownership – Showroom, City & Company:
- Build and own monthly P&L; for each company showroom, each city market, and the consolidated company
- Define and apply cost allocation rules for shared costs (rent, salaries, marketing, central teams)
- Reconcile all P&Ls; with the books of accounts so every number ties back
- Prepare periodic revenue-share statements for business partners with full reconciliation 2. Product & Margin Analysis:




- Build product and category-level P&L; — selling price, discounts, cost, gross margin, and contribution
- Work with Production & Supply Chain on product costing (BOM, labour, overheads)
- Identify margin leakages — discounts, cost increases, low-margin bundles — and recommend fixes
- Support pricing, discount, and product-mix decisions with clear analysis 3. MIS, Dashboards & Business Insights:
- Deliver a monthly MIS pack for leadership — revenue by channel, margins, key costs, receivables, and cash position
- Build live dashboards for leadership and showroom managers (Power BI / Google Sheets / ERP)
- Track business KPIs — showroom performance, order value, conversion, collections, working capital
- Answer the “why” behind the numbers — explain every major movement in plain language 4. Budgeting, Forecasting & Planning (FP&A;):
- Prepare the annual budget with department heads and track budget vs actual every month
- Maintain a rolling forecast of revenue, cost, and cash
- Build business cases and unit economics for new showrooms, cities, and product lines
- Run scenario analysis to support leadership decisions 5. Review, Data Quality & Process:
- Review month-end books for completeness — missing accruals, wrong classifications, unusual entries
- Set the month-end closing calendar with the accounts team and track timelines
- Define the chart of accounts and cost centre structure; ensure every transaction is tagged to the right showroom and product in the ERP
- Automate recurring reports and document each one as a simple SOP Who Can Apply : Education & Experience – CA CA Inter with 2+ years in MIS, FP&A;, or business finance — preferred – MBA Finance (with B.
