Proof of Skill

Posted on May 12, 2025

Looking for a CA or Inter with 2+ years of experience, excited to go beyond traditional finance. You'll lead financial control across our India–US structure (think US C-Corp + Indian compliance), support fundraising, and pitch in across ops and strategy in a fast-moving, tech-forward team.

You’ll also work closely with the founder on special projects, investor communications, and key operational decisions.

TL;DR: Seeking an experienced Executive Assistant + Finance Controller to own end-to-end financial operations, compliance, and fundraising support for a cross-border startup operating between India and the US. You'll be the right hand to the founder(s), managing everything from US C-Corp and Indian entity compliance to vendor payments, investor reporting, and fundraising logistics.
