Chartered Accountant

About Us

We are a fast-growing American e-commerce brand specializing in organic spices and herbs, selling across the US and Australian markets. Our mission is to make high-quality, USDA-certified organic goods accessible to everyone. We are building a finance backbone to support rapid global expansion and are looking for a Chartered Accountant who can not only manage numbers but also think strategically about cash flow, compliance, and cross-border operations.

Compensation (Please Read Before Applying)

This role pays 3,00,000 - 6,00,000 per annum (fixed).
Candidates expecting compensation above this range should not apply.

Key Responsibilities

• Prepare and maintain cash flow forecasts (weekly/quarterly) and track free cash flow.
• Build and manage financial models in Excel for decision-making (new launches, funding cycles, working capital).
• Analyze cash-flow impacts of new product launches across 40+ SKUs.
• Manage day-to-day bookkeeping, reconciliations, and MIS reporting.
• Support cross-border financial structuring between India, US, and Australia (intercompany transfers, taxation, DTAA research).
• Ensure compliance with Indian taxation (GST, Income Tax, TDS) and coordinate with overseas accountants for AU/US compliance.
• Assist in setting up internal controls and SOPs for payments, credit lines, and vendor financing.
• Be hands-on with daily finance operations: vendor payments, reconciliations, purchase orders, invoice processing, and other transactional activities.
• Be willing to use Xero for all accounts record keeping.

Core Competencies

• Chartered Accountant (CA) must be fully qualified (CA Inter candidates will not be considered).
• Strong foundation in financial reporting, taxation, and compliance.
• Proven ability to work with cash flow cycles and free cash flow analysis.
• Excellent Excel/financial modeling skills (cash flow models, projections, scenario analysis).
• Understanding (or willingness to quickly learn) cross-border taxation and fund flows (USAUIN).
• Comfortable working independently, with ownership and accountability.

Requirements

• CA qualified (must have cleared CA Final).
• 1–5 years of post-qualification experience (open to strong fresh CAs as well).
• Proficiency in Excel; familiarity with Xero/QuickBooks/Tally is a plus.
• Strong analytical skills and problem-solving ability.
• Good communication skills (ability to explain financial concepts clearly).
• Must be willing to research and learn international tax frameworks as part of the role.

Preferred Background (Added Advantage)

• Experience in FMCG, e-commerce, or industries with a high volume of transactions.
• Prior exposure to international taxation and compliance.
• Familiarity with cross-border operations and reporting frameworks.

Why Join Us

• You'll be joining as the first finance hire in our company — a team of 1 for now. This means you will be very hands-on and responsible for both strategic finance (cash flow, modeling, compliance) and daily operations (reconciliations, payments, POs, bookkeeping).
• Opportunity to be part of a fast-scaling global brand.
• Exposure to cross-border finance and taxation (rare experience for early-career CAs).
• Work directly with founders and leadership team.
• Collaborative and growth-oriented work environment.
• Remote role with Indian daytime hours only (no night shifts).

Who This Role is NOT For

• Those looking for a desk-only audit/compliance role without involvement in day-to-day operations.
• Those who only want to manage teams, not be hands-on with reconciliations, payments, and bookkeeping.
• Candidates expecting a salary above 6 LPA.
• Candidates unwilling to learn new skills such as cross-border compliance, free cash flow modeling, and international taxation.
• Those who prefer a large team setup instead of working independently as the sole finance lead.

If you are looking for a role above 6 LPA, or are not ready to be hands-on and learn new areas of finance, please do not apply.
Only applications within this compensation bracket and scope will be considered.
