Head Of Finance

This role is for one of Weekday’s clients
Salary range: Rs 3000000 - Rs 3700000 (ie INR 30-37 LPA)
Min Experience: 5 years
Location: Mumbai
JobType: full-time

What You’ll Be Doing (Besides Telling Us We Can’t Buy Fancy Coffee Machines)

• Financial Strategy & Planning – Ensuring we don’t burn through cash like a startup on caffeine.
• Budgeting & Financial Management – Making budgets that people actually stick to (or at least pretend to).
• Accounting & Compliance – Keeping us in the good books of tax authorities (nobody likes a surprise audit).
• Financial Reporting & Analysis – Presenting numbers in a way that even non-finance people understand.
• Team Leadership & Development – Leading a team that doesn’t break into a cold sweat at the word “audit.”
• Risk Management – Spotting financial landmines before we step on them.
• Investor Relations & Fundraising – Talking to banks and investors without making them nervous.
• ERP & Financial Systems – Making sure our financial systems aren’t stuck in the Windows 98 era.

What We’re Looking For (Besides Someone Who Actually Likes Numbers)

• 8+ years of experience (at least 3-5 years leading the charge).
• Chartered Accountancy (CA) qualification is mandatory. 
• Experience in manufacturing/retail/D2C is a plus—because finance is different when actual products are involved.
• Deep knowledge of financial regulations, tax laws, and accounting (because we don’t want to learn the hard way).
• Proficiency in Tally, Excel, and ERP systems—if your idea of fun is building a financial model, we like you already.
• A problem-solver who can balance growth, risk, and making sure payday never fails.
   

Why You’ll Love This Role

• You get to be the one who actually controls the money (power move).
• A seat at the leadership table—your decisions will shape the future, not just the balance sheet.
• A growing brand that actually listens to its finance team (most of the time).
• A chance to build financial strategies from scratch instead of just inheriting someone else’s mess.
• You’ll literally be surrounded by mattresses, which is great if you ever need to lie down after a tough quarter.
