Senior Associate (CA Inter Qualified & Articleship Completed)

Senior Associate - Bengaluru

About The Role

We are a boutique CA firm that works with growth-stage startups and SMEs. Our work goes beyond compliance. We build financial models, run due diligence, support fundraises, structure transactions and act as the finance team for founders who do not have one yet.

As a Senior Associate at our Bengaluru office, you will run the day-to-day work on client engagements. You will prepare the work, check it before it goes out and guide the articled assistants working with you. You will work closely with the partners and take on more client-facing work as you grow.
