Coordinate with external accountants for bookkeeping, reconciliations, and compliance matters.

Support audit processes, investor reporting, and board-level financial requirements.

What We're Looking For

Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently and reliably.

Excellent analytical and financial modeling skills.

High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy.

Mission-driven and excited about contributing to a high-growth fintech environment.

Strong interpersonal skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams.

4–7 years of experience in FP&A, business finance, MIS, or reporting roles.

Proficiency in Excel; familiarity with SQL or BI/reporting tools is a plus.

Working knowledge of accounting and finance operations (Tally exposure is a bonus).

CA or MBA preferred, but not mandatory.

Experience in a startup or high-growth company is advantageous.
