• GAAP Convergence: Lead the "convergence" process, performing complex reconciliations and adjustments to translate Group reporting (IFRS/US GAAP) into Local Statutory requirements (iGAAP).
• Analysis & Management Reporting: Provide deep-dive variance analysis (Actuals vs. Forecast). Convert statutory data into meaningful management insights for the Country Manager and Regional leadership.
• Tax & FEMA Coordination: Partner with the APAC Tax team to ensure precise filings for GST, Corporate Tax, Transfer Pricing, and FEMA.
• Internal Process & Ownership: Drive the maturity of our regional accounting environment by taking direct ownership of reporting workflows. You will coordinate the in-housing of "Record-to-Report" processes, ensuring absolute data integrity and scalability as we grow.
• About You
• The Experience: Qualified Accountant (CA or equivalent) with 5-8 years of experience in financial controlling, audit (Big 4 preferred), or core accounting-ideally in FinTech | Financial Service.
• Technical: Deep understanding of India Statutory GAAP, IFRS, and US GAAP. You have proven expertise in financial reporting, local governance, and controls specific to India.
• Process Ownership: You are who enjoys the "end-to-end" process. You are comfortable with hands-on ownership of the accounting cycle.
• Communication: You can explain complex local tax or GAAP issues to a global team in a way that is clear, concise, and actionable.
