You will be responsible for leading day-to-day accounting and finance operations, while collaborating closely with the founder to define the company's financial roadmap.

• Lead and mentor a finance team of 3-5 members, ensuring the highest standards of data accuracy and maintaining clean financial records.
• Develop and manage financial forecasts, budgets, and conduct thorough variance analysis.
• Drive gap analysis to pinpoint inefficiencies or blind spots within financial processes.
• Work directly with the founder on developing dashboards, strategic cash flow planning, and providing investment insights.
• Ensure consistent compliance with statutory regulations and internal policies, maintaining an audit-ready state at all times.

What We're Looking For

• A minimum of 2 to 4 years of progressive experience in finance and accounting.
• Proficiency in Tally, Zoho Books, and advanced use of Excel/Google Sheets.
• Demonstrated ability to manage or collaborate effectively with a small team.
• A clear understanding of financial reporting standards, cost control methodologies, and reconciliation processes.
• A structured, analytical, and execution-focused mindset.
• Prior experience in a D2C, consumer goods, or retail environment is highly advantageous.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to coordinate effectively across different functions and influence key decisions.
• A Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Business Administration, or a closely related field.

This is an exceptional opportunity to move beyond a traditional finance support role and actively shape the financial foundation of a rapidly scaling brand. If you are seeking significant growth, genuine ownership, and the chance to make a meaningful impact, this role is ideally suited for you.
