• Prepare and review financial statements in compliance with Ind AS/IFRS/GAAP as applicable

• Coordinate with statutory and internal auditors for audit completion
• Support regulatory reporting requirements specific to financial services entities (NBFC/AMC/broking/insurance, as relevant)

Analysis & Risk Management:

• Conduct financial analysis, variance analysis, and support budgeting/forecasting
• Assess financial, credit, and market risk exposure where relevant (particularly valuable for FRM-qualified candidates)
• Support management with MIS reports and financial insights for decision-making
• Assist in monitoring capital adequacy, liquidity, or other regulatory ratios where applicable

Process & Compliance:

• Ensure internal controls and compliance with company policies and regulatory requirements
• Identify process improvement opportunities in tax and accounting workflows
• Mentor and guide junior team members

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• CA / CFA / FRM qualified

• Strong knowledge of Indian tax laws, GST, TDS, and accounting standards
• Familiarity with financial services regulatory framework (RBI/SEBI/IRDAI) is a plus
• Proficiency in Tally/SAP/Oracle or similar ERP systems, and advanced Excel
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills
• Ability to work independently and manage deadlines under pressure

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work in a dynamic financial services environment
