  • 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).

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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
