We're moving from a lean, founder-managed financial operation to an investor-grade financial control environment. This role owns the complete financial foundation: monthly close, compliance, cash management, and investor reporting. You won't have a Finance team reporting to you; you'll be the Finance function. What you build - the processes, the controls, the dashboards, the audit readiness - becomes the template for our next 50 hires and is the credibility signal to our board. This is not a traditional "Finance Manager" role at a larger company. This is building financial rigor from scratch at a start-up scaling toward ₹100+ Cr ARR. CORE RESPONSIBILITIES MONTHLY FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT (40%) * Execute month-end close: GL reconciliation, balance sheet tie-out, P&L variance analysis * Accounts Payable: invoice processing, payment approval, vendor reconciliation (Tally, invoice verification) * Accounts Receivable: invoice tracking, collections follow-up, MIS for subscription platform ARR metrics (customer retention, NRR, CAC) * Bank reconciliation: daily/weekly, flagging anomalies, cash flow forecasting * Intercompany accounting: coordinate with CA on LLP-to-Pvt Ltd conversion carry-forward, ensure accurate subsidiary/holding company treatment COMPLIANCE & AUDIT READINESS (30%) * GST compliance: monthly GSTR filing, reconciliation with invoices, input credit tracking * Income tax: prepare books for CA, coordinate on advance tax, TDS filing * Statutory payroll: salary register, ESI/PF contributions, provident fund trustee coordination * Audit support: organize documentation for CA annual audit, DPDPA/data processing agreement compliance for financial records * Tally configuration and maintenance: chart of accounts, master data, period closures * Investor reporting: monthly financial statements, cash position, burn analysis, SaaS metrics (MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, burn rate) CASH & FINANCIAL PLANNING (20%) * Daily cash position tracking and forecasting (16-week rolling forecast) * Payment runs: ensure liquidity, prioritize critical vendor payments, optimize payment timing * Vendor management: negotiate payment terms, maintain vendor relationships, track contract terms * Tax planning coordination: work with CA on deduction strategy, advance payment due dates FINANCIAL SYSTEMS & DATA (10%) * Maintain and improve Tally configuration for scalability * Implement finance workflows: approval matrices, document retention, audit trails * Monthly revenue recognition: subscription billing, GST treatment, deferred revenue tracking (Ind AS 115) * Support fundraising: prepare cap table, SAFE schedules, cap table trackers, option pool management * “Mention your Favourite Hollywood movie in subject line while you share resume” REQUIRED EXPERIENCE ESSENTIAL: * 4–6 years of accounting/finance experience, with at least 2 years at a SaaS or high-growth startup * Hands-on monthly close: GL reconciliation, balance sheet management, P&L variance analysis * GST compliance and filing (India mandatory) * Tally ERP or similar accounting software (not just Excel spreadsheets) * Comfortable working with CAs and external auditors * Solid understanding of India statutory compliance: labor laws, statutory deposits, tax filings * Quantitative mindset: building financial models, tracking operational metrics (revenue, burn rate, burn multiple) EXPERIENCE THAT MATTERS: * SaaS or subscription business (revenue recognition, deferred revenue, churn tracking) * Startup scaling phase: 20–100 person companies with growing complexity * Month-end close under 10 business days (efficiency matters in startups) * Built or improved financial processes from scratch * Worked with fractional CFO or CA coordination (not relying entirely on external support) * Familiarity with VC-backed financial reporting (cap table, option pools, investor updates) NICE-TO-HAVES * CA (Chartered Accountant) qualification - not required, but relevant * Experience with SaaS metrics: MRR, ARR, CAC, LTV, burn rate, NRR (retention) * Prior experience at a finance services or insurance-adjacent company (regulatory familiarity is a plus) * Experience with financial forecasting and fundraising rounds * Familiarity with DPDPA (Digital Personal Data Protection Act) data processing and vendor compliance * Exposure to Ind AS 115 (revenue recognition) or similar accounting standards * FEMA/forex experience SKILLS & MINDSET * Accuracy-first: Accounting is binary - right or wrong. You have high attention to detail and low tolerance for errors * Process builder: Sees chaos and creates systems. You've built month-end checklists, created audit trails, or standardized workflows * Resourcefulness: Limited budget, limited headcount. You do more with less and don't need enterprise financial tools to be effective * Communication: Can explain financial results to non-finance founders and translate accounting into business language * Initiative: Sees a compliance gap and fixes it. Doesn't wait for permission to organize documentation or improve processes * Learning agility: Startups evolve faster than standard accounting practices. You adapt quickly and learn new frameworks (SaaS metrics, revenue recognition rules) * Vendor & auditor management: Comfortable interacting with CAs, auditors, and statutory bodies WHY DESIBLE — THE REAL VALUE PROP 1. Equity upside is real: Your grant represents genuine founder-level alignment at a company with institutional backing and clear market traction. You're not betting on speculation; you're betting on execution. And your financial controls are the unlocking lever for the next phase of growth. 2. You'll own the entire finance function: Most Finance Managers inherit systems; you're building them. Every P&L format you create, every reconciliation process you standardize, every investor dashboard you build becomes the blueprint for scaling. That's on your resume permanently. 3. Founder partnership: You report to two co-founders who actually value operations and financial rigor. Neither will second-guess accounting accuracy or push you to bend the books. Your voice in strategy conversations is real. 4. Investor-grade credibility: You're building for Tier I VC (₹55+ Cr AUM), enterprise clients, and future fundraising. That means your work has to be audit-ready from day one. Most startups get sloppy; ours can't. You're building toward that bar. 5. Learning velocity: You'll touch revenue recognition, SaaS metrics, cap table management, investor reporting, statutory compliance, and fundraising - all simultaneously in one small team. It's boot-camp-level learning compression. 6. Market timing: Voice AI + Insurance is one of India's fastest-growth sectors. You're building the financial infrastructure for a platform processing 300K+ daily calls. That's table-stakes for scale. 7. Next role clarity: Strong CFO prospects start as Finance Managers at high-growth startups. If you perform here, your next role could be fractional CFO (₹25–40 L), Finance Director, or founding finance leader at another venture — and startups will hire you over generalist accountants because you've proven you can build systems and scale them. THE HONEST CONVERSATION THIS ROLE REQUIRES: * Scrappiness: You'll use Tally and Excel more than enterprise systems * Hustle: Month-end closes might require long hours (worst case: 8–10 hours of focused work over a week) * Founder communication: You'll need to translate accounting into business metrics and flag cash concerns early * Self-motivation: No finance team under you, no one checking your work — you drive quality and timelines WHAT YOU GET BACK: * Equity: That could be worth 10–50x your annual salary if execution goes right (3–5 year horizon) * Resume line: "Built financial controls for a VC Backed Seed Plus SaaS platform from ₹0 to audit-ready in 12 months" * Direct access: To founders and board (visibility that most Finance Managers at larger companies don't get) * Compressed learning: 18 months of practical finance experience at a VC-backed company = 5 years at a corporate THE HIRING PROCESS 1.
