Role Overview

We are looking for a commercial, data-driven Business Finance Manager to partner directly with our business unit heads and executive leadership.

In this role, you will move beyond traditional accounting to drive business performance, strategic FP&A, revenue governance, unit economics optimization, and financial modeling. You will serve as the core financial compass for the company, evaluating business trade-offs, managing budgets, and converting complex operational data into actionable financial strategy to ensure sustainable, profitable growth.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic FP&A & Business Partnering

• Drive long-term financial modeling, annual budgeting, and monthly/quarterly forecasting (AOP) across all business units (Sales, Marketing, Product, and HR).
• Partner with business unit leads (BU Heads) to evaluate revenue growth models, CAC/LTV dynamics, and pricing strategies.
• Analyze variances between actuals vs. budgets, identifying financial risks, revenue leakages, and cost-saving opportunities.

2. Commercial Finance & Unit Economics

• Own and track core business SaaS/EdTech metrics including Unit Economics, Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), Lifetime Value (LTV), Payback Periods, Gross Margins, and Contribution Margins.
• Evaluate international expansion models, currency exposures, and cross-border payment efficiency.
• Conduct ROI analyses on performance marketing spend, lead acquisition channels, and capital allocation across departments.

3. Management Reporting & Executive Dashboards

• Build and maintain real-time financial tracking models and executive dashboards in MS Excel / Google Sheets to present metrics clearly to leadership.
• Prepare high-stakes Monthly Management Reports (MIS), board decks, investor updates, and cash flow forecasts.
• Oversee financial data integrity across internal trackers, ensuring single-source-of-truth reporting for Finance and Operations.

4. Cost Optimization & Governance

• Audit department-level operating expenses (OpEx) to drive cost efficiencies and improve gross profit margins without impacting growth.
• Collaborate with accounting and audit teams to ensure seamless financial compliance, revenue recognition alignment, and internal financial controls.

Key Requirements & Qualifications

• Educational Qualification: Chartered Accountant (CA Qualified / Cleared CA Finals) is mandatory.
• Relevant Experience: Minimum 2+ years of core hands-on experience in Business Finance, FP&A, or Corporate Finance (preferably within high-growth Tech, EdTech, D2C, or Startup ecosystems).
• Financial Modeling & Spreadsheet Mastery: Exceptional command of MS Excel / Google Sheets (complex financial modeling, dynamic scenario planning, dynamic lookup functions, and pivot tables).
• Analytical & Data Aptitude: Strong business acumen with the ability to bridge operational metrics (leads, conversions, CAC) directly into financial P&L outcomes.
• Stakeholder Management: Excellent communication and presentation skills; ability to influence senior business leads, challenge assumptions constructively, and present financial insights to non-finance stakeholders.
• Grit & High Ownership: A proactive self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced work-from-office environment with minimal hand-holding.

What We Offer

• Direct visibility and strategic partnership with executive leadership and Founders.
• High ownership role with immediate impact on company-wide financial decision-making and unit economics.
• Accelerated career growth into Senior Finance / Head of FP&A leadership roles.
• Competitive salary and performance-linked bonuses.
