Key Responsibilities
1. Department Design & Ownership

• Design, implement, and continuously refine the finance org structure, covering:

• Corporate Controllership (R2R, audit)

• Tax (direct & indirect)

• Corporate / Secretarial Compliance (in partnership with the Company Secretary)

• Finance Operations - Order-to-Cash & Procure-to-Pay

• Finance Systems & Controls

• FP&A / Corporate Finance (internal decision support)

• Define clear departmental charters, RACI, and interfaces with other functions (Sales, Product, CS, HR, Legal, IT).

2. Process, Controls & SLA Management

• Own the finance operating rhythm: monthly/quarterly close, reporting calendar, compliance calendar, and payment runs.

• Implement and enforce SLAs for:

• Close timelines and quality

• Billing accuracy and collection cycles

• AP cycle times and payment discipline

• Strengthen and document internal controls, ensuring audit-ready processes and SOX-style discipline (even if not legally required).

3. Corporate Controllership & Tax

• Oversee accurate and timely Ind AS / IFRS financial statements, GL integrity, and consolidation.

• Lead external statutory and internal audits, driving remediation of findings.

• Supervise direct and indirect tax (corporate tax, GST, TDS), coordinating with external advisors where appropriate and minimizing penalties and leakages.

• Ensure finance data and narratives used in public disclosures are accurate, consistent, and reconcilable to the books.

4. Finance Operations - O2C & P2P

• Build robust Order-to-Cash processes: contract review hand-offs, billing, collections, credit notes, AR ageing, revenue leakage controls.

• Build robust Procure-to-Pay processes: vendor onboarding, POs and approvals, invoice processing, payment runs, employee reimbursements.

• Partner with GTM, CS, and Procurement to balance speed, customer/vendor experience, and control.

5. FP&A / Corporate Finance

• Lead budgeting, forecasting, and performance management across the company.

• Own SaaS/recurring-revenue metrics (ARR/MRR, NRR, churn, CAC, LTV, payback, cohort views) and ensure they reconcile to the GL.

• Provide business partnering to functional leaders with clear insights, variance analysis, and investment cases.

6. Finance Systems & Data

• Own the finance systems landscape (ERP, billing, CRM, data warehouse interfaces) and ensure a single source of truth for revenue and cost.

• Champion automation and standardization in reconciliations, workflows, reporting, and compliance.

• Work closely with Engineering/IT/Data teams to design robust data models and self-serve dashboards.

7. People Leadership

• Build and lead a high-performance finance team, including controllers, tax/ops specialists, analysts, and system/process owners.

• Set clear goals, coaching, and development paths; hire ahead of curve where needed.

• Instill a culture of ownership, accuracy, speed, and continuous improvement.

What Success Looks Like (12-18 Months)

• Clean, predictable monthly and quarterly closes on a tight timeline with minimal audit adjustments.

• All statutory, tax, and listing obligations met on time with no significant penalties or regulatory issues.

• Finance Ops running on defined SLAs, with improved DSO, disciplined AP, and strong cash visibility.

• A functioning FP&A cadence: rolling forecasts, budget vs. actuals, and clear unit economics for decision-making.

• A documented, scalable finance org structure, with key roles filled and clear succession/coverage.

Qualifications

• Chartered Accountant (CA) and/or CPA, plus MBA in Finance (or equivalent top-tier advanced degree).

• 10-15+ years of progressive experience in finance, including:

• Strong controllership/accounting foundation in a public or pre-IPO environment.

• Exposure to SaaS/technology or recurring-revenue models (preferred).

• Experience with listed-company requirements (NSE/SEBI/Companies Act or comparable regime).

• Demonstrated success in building or transforming finance organizations and processes, not just operating legacy ones.

• Deep familiarity with ERPs and finance tech stack (e.g., SAP/Oracle/NetSuite/MS Dynamics, billing platforms) and comfort working with data/BI tools; ability to work with SQL or similar is a plus.

Competencies & Mindset

• Systems thinker designs end-to-end flows and controls, not just isolated tasks.

• Technically rigorous: strong command of accounting, tax, and reporting standards.

• Operator's bias: cares about SLAs, reliability, and reducing chaos in day-to-day operations.

• Analytical and product-minded: treats finance processes and dashboards like products to be iterated.

• Low-ego collaborator works closely with CFO, CS, Legal, GTM, Product, and HR, comfortable operating both strategic and hands-on.
