About AltQuad: The Future of Financial Operations

AltQuad is a rapidly growing professional services firm rewriting the playbook for offshore accounting and process consulting. Founded by two Chartered Accountants on a non-traditional path, we have scaled from 2 to over 55 professionals in just three years, fueled by a bootstrapped, resilient, and resourceful culture. Our core differentiator is a "systems-first" approach, where we leverage our deep expertise in ERPs, process automation, and internal controls to de-risk offshoring and deliver transformative results for our clients. We are a young, tech-forward firm obsessed with building scalable systems. Both for our clients and for ourselves.

The Opportunity: Lead, Execute, and Transform

- This is not a typical post-qualification role.

- We are looking for a dynamic Chartered Accountant to step into a pivotal leadership position within our Process Consulting vertical. You will report directly to the Vertical Head, CA Anand Bhanushali, and take ownership of the entire project management office (PMO) and client-facing execution for our most critical engagements.

- Your primary mission is to empower senior leadership to focus on strategic solutioning by flawlessly managing project delivery, leading a sizable team, and acting as the trusted point of contact for our diverse clientele. This role offers a unique opportunity to inherit a portfolio of high-impact projects, manage a team from day one, and be groomed as a future leader within a hyper-growth startup environment.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

Team & Project Leadership:

- Lead, mentor, and manage a team of over 15 professionals, including articles and semi-qualified staff, from the beginning.

- Build and scale your own team in the future by participating in and leading hiring initiatives.

Client Engagement & Delivery:

- Act as the primary, front-facing contact for our key clients, building trust and maintaining strong relationships through the project lifecycle.

- Lead discovery calls, workshops, and cadence meetings to understand client needs and manage expectations.

- Develop and deliver compelling client presentations, process documentation (flowcharts, SOPs), Business Requirement

- Documents (BRDs), and Risk Control Matrices (RCMs).

Process Analysis & Transformation:

- Conduct in-depth analysis of clients' existing business processes, workflows, and systems to identify inefficiencies and opportunities for optimization.

- Apply your expertise across functional business areas like Order-to-Cash (O2C), Procure-to-Pay (P2P), and Record-toReport (R2R) to advise clients on industry best practices.

- Effectively translate client business logic to technical/development teams for system enhancements or ERP module implementations.

- Develop training materials and conduct sessions to educate end-users on new processes and system functionalities, ensuring smooth adoption.

What You'll Bring (Skills & Qualifications)

- Professional Certification: Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA) is mandatory.

- Experience: 0-3 years of post-qualification experience. We are open to exceptional fresher CAs with a strong articleship background.

- Mandatory Articleship Experience: Demonstrable experience in Internal Audit, Statutory Audit, or a dedicated Process Consulting/Risk Advisory role is essential.

- Project Management: Proven ability to manage multiple engagements, teams, and deadlines simultaneously in a structured manner.

- Process & ERP Knowledge: A solid understanding of standard business processes (e.g., P2P, O2C, R2R) and the fundamental functions of an ERP system.
