• Forecasting — prepare and maintain rolling revenue, cost and cash forecasts; track forecast accuracy and explain movements against prior forecasts and plan.
• Budgeting — drive the annual operating plan and periodic re-forecasts; work with business and functional owners to build budgets and monitor actuals against budget with clear variance commentary.
• MIS systems — build, run and continuously improve the monthly MIS pack and supporting dashboards; strengthen data flows between operations, fleet and finance systems to improve accuracy and turnaround.
• Reporting to the board — prepare board and management review packs, including performance against plan, key operating metrics, cash and debt position, and the supporting analysis behind recommendations. Building the Finance Operating Framework
• Unit economics & profitability analysis — build and maintain visibility into profitability at the level of vehicle, driver, route, customer and business line (ride-hailing, ETS and corporate car rentals) to support pricing, deployment and capital allocation decisions.
• Cash flow & working capital governance — maintain a 13-week rolling cash flow forecast and treasury view; monitor debt, repayment obligations and covenant compliance, and establish a disciplined cash review cadence.
• Governance & operating controls — implement and enforce finance SOPs, delegation of authority, approval matrix and procurement and contract controls; support audit, statutory compliance and data-room readiness for lenders and investors. Candidate Profile
• CA, CMA, MBA (Finance) or equivalent, with 5–10 years in financial control and business finance.
• Strong grounding in reconciliations, month-end close, budgeting, forecasting and management reporting.
• Advanced Excel and hands-on experience with accounting/ERP systems (Tally, Zoho, SAP or similar); comfort with large operational datasets is an advantage.
• Exposure to mobility, fleet, logistics or other asset-heavy, high-transaction-volume businesses is preferred.
• Able to work independently in a lean, fast-moving environment, with the maturity to present to promoters and the board.
• High ownership and attention to detail, with the initiative to build process where none exists. Location: Kudlu Gate, Bengaluru
