• Deep understanding of Ind AS / IFRS / US GAAP and revenue recognition principles (ASC 606 / IFRS 15).

• Hands on experience leading statutory audits - including preparation, auditor management, and closure.

• Proficiency with ERP systems (NetSuite, SAP, Oracle, or similar).

• Strong financial acumen - ability to read, interpret, and present financial statements to leadership.

• Comfortable working autonomously across time zones in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.

• You think in systems, not tasks - you build controls and SOPs that work without your constant supervision.

• You’ve worked at the intersection of Finance and Product/Engineering to automate workflows that others still do manually.

• Build for scale - Drive automation, process improvements, and controls that grow with the business.
