  • India Office Operations & Leadership Support: Partner with founders and executive leadership on India office administration and operational matters, including vendor management, payments and related requirements.
  • Process Improvement & Scalability: Strengthen accounting processes, controls and reporting through automation and effective JCSS oversight, while supporting the transition to an in-house finance function as the business scales.

What You'll Bring To The Role

  • 10–15 years of experience in accounting, corporate finance, financial operations or controllership.
  • Strong experience managing accounting and financial operations for an Indian subsidiary of a multinational or US-headquartered organisation.

  • Strong understanding of month-end close, financial reporting, general ledger, reconciliations and internal financial controls.
  • Experience overseeing payroll, vendor payments, funding requirements and operational finance activities.
  • Exposure to NetSuite or other enterprise accounting systems will be advantageous.
  • Experience building or transitioning accounting operations from outsourced to in-house models will be an added advantage.
