About the Role
We are a bootstrapped e-commerce and quick-commerce business selling on Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, Swiggy Instamart, and our own Special You brand. We need a finance professional to own the company’s financial health and guide key decisions. This is not a bookkeeping role: our accountant handles day-to-day accounts, and you will lead finance above that.
Key Responsibilities
Advise founders on pricing, margins, inventory investment, ad spend, and expansion.
Build budgets, forecasts, and scenario models, and track actuals against them.
Analyze profitability by SKU, brand, and sales channel.
Prepare and review monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow statements.
Track KPIs such as gross margin, contribution margin, CAC, ROAS, inventory turnover, and cash runway.
Maintain a rolling cash flow forecast and monitor marketplace payouts, receivables, and payables.
Review the accountant’s work and ensure marketplace settlements are reconciled correctly.
Coordinate GST, TDS, income tax, and other filings with the accountant and external CA.
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Finance, Commerce, or Accounting (MBA Finance, CA, or CFA is a plus).
3 to 7 years of experience in finance, FP&A, or business finance.
Strong skills in financial modelling, Excel, and Google Sheets, plus Tally or Zoho Books.
Good knowledge of Indian taxation, including GST and TDS.
Ability to explain numbers simply to non-finance people.
Preferred
Experience in e-commerce, D2C, retail, or quick-commerce.
Familiarity with marketplace settlements on Amazon, Blinkit, Zepto, or Instamart.
Startup or bootstrapped experience, and exposure to fundraising or investor reporting.
What We Value
A finance-first mindset, ownership, attention to detail with big-picture thinking, and integrity with company money.
