JobType: full-time

We are seeking a detail-oriented, ownership-driven Chartered Accountant to take full responsibility for finance, compliance, and reporting across our entities. This role involves building processes from the ground up rather than maintaining existing ones: you will design financial procedures and controls that enable rapid operations without sacrificing compliance, and bring in-house tasks currently managed by external consultants. You should be comfortable handling complexity—managing funds across multiple entities and adapting revenue streams from subscriptions today to transaction- and brokerage-based flows in the future. We value individuals who prioritize execution and research over high-level strategy, can adapt to evolving regulations, and quickly find effective solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain accurate accounting records and balance sheets for all entities, including the parent company and subsidiaries.
• Ensure real-time updates in Tally and proper management of ledgers.
• Perform reconciliations for bank accounts, vendors, inter-company transactions, and platform-related activities.
• Oversee the payment and filing of TDS, GST, and Professional Tax (PT).
• Ensure compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements across entities, including SEBI-related obligations.
• Manage Provident Fund (PF), gratuity calculations, and enforce compliance.
• Conduct regular compliance audits to prevent penalties or compliance failures.
• Administer salary disbursements, payroll structuring, and employee tax calculations.
• Ensure timely TDS deductions and related payroll filings.
• Assist employees with tax-related inquiries as needed.
• Monitor and reconcile subscription revenue streams across different platforms.
• Account for and track interest income from liquid funds and money market instruments.
• Manage cash flow movements between accounts and entities efficiently.
• Ensure proper revenue recognition in compliance with applicable accounting standards.
• Prepare monthly Management Information System (MIS) reports, including Profit & Loss statements, cash flow reports, and variance analyses.
• Develop and maintain cash flow forecasts and budgets.
• Provide financial insights to founders to support decision-making processes.
• Assist with scenario planning to support business scaling.
• Handle accounting and compliance activities for both parent and subsidiary companies.
• Manage inter-company transactions, reconciliations, and reporting.
• Ensure clean and compliant financial structuring for the transfer of funds across entities.
• Oversee vendor negotiations, payments, invoicing, and expense tracking.
• Implement and enhance financial controls and procedures.
• Collaborate closely with operations and product teams to align financial processes.
• Coordinate with auditors, consultants, and regulatory authorities.
• Support statutory audits, tax audits, and due diligence efforts.
• Maintain documented records and ensure audit readiness at all times.

Qualifications

• Qualified Chartered Accountant or semi-qualified CA with substantial relevant hands-on experience.
• 2 to 5 years of relevant experience, preferably over 3 years dealing with complex multi-entity structures (experience in consultancy or startups is highly valued).
• Comfortable managing multi-entity finance operations and inter-company fund movements.
• Strong knowledge of Indian taxation, compliance requirements, and corporate law.
• Proficient with Tally and modern accounting software tools.
• Adaptable, research-oriented, and able to keep pace with changing regulations rather than relying on traditional methods.
• Detail-oriented, demonstrates strong ownership, and possesses excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Eager to execute work hands-on rather than solely providing advisory support—prioritizes execution over strategy.

Required Skills

• Proficiency in Tally, Indian taxation, compliance, corporate law, SEBI regulations, multi-entity accounting, intercompany transactions, financial reporting, cash flow management, budgeting, vendor management, financial controls, audit coordination, payroll management, and revenue recognition.

Benefits & Perks

• A high-ownership position with direct, daily interaction with the founders.
• Opportunity to develop finance systems from the ground up within a scaling, regulated fintech.
• Complete visibility into the finance function across a multi-entity organization.
• Dynamic, fast-paced work environment where your contributions have a tangible and visible impact.
• Hybrid and flexible work arrangement (5 days per week).
