This role supports accurate financial information, disciplined governance and better commercial decision-making. The organization expects finance professionals to work with integrity, attention to detail and ownership of outcomes. The successful candidate will partner with internal stakeholders and audit teams to maintain reliable reporting, identify financial risks and improve planning processes. The environment is suited to someone who can balance technical accounting knowledge with practical business understanding. The role offers exposure to audit, international finance requirements and financial planning and analysis, creating an opportunity to build a broad finance career. Candidates should be comfortable working with structured data, deadlines, reconciliations, management reporting and cross-functional coordination. The position is based onsite in Navi Mumbai and is intended for a qualified CA with two to three years of relevant experience.

About the Role

Own core audit, international audit and FP&A deliverables that improve financial control, reporting accuracy and management visibility. You will prepare analysis, coordinate stakeholders, investigate variances and support planning decisions. The role requires a qualified CA with 2–3 years of relevant experience, strong accounting fundamentals and comfort working with financial data and deadlines. Based onsite in Navi Mumbai, you will work closely with finance leaders, auditors and business teams to resolve issues and strengthen processes.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own audit planning, schedules and evidence through structured documentation and stakeholder coordination, enabling timely closure of statutory, internal and international audit requirements.
  • Prepare financial planning and analysis through budgets, forecasts, variance reviews and management reports, helping leaders understand performance drivers and make informed resource decisions.
  • Review financial data, reconciliations and control outputs through accounting systems and spreadsheets, identifying anomalies early and improving the reliability of reported results.
  • Coordinate with internal and external auditors by resolving information requests, tracking open points and following through on remediation, reducing execution delays and recurring control gaps.
  • Support international audit and reporting requirements by applying consistent accounting analysis, validating cross-border information and escalating technical or compliance risks to senior finance stakeholders.
  • Improve finance processes through root-cause analysis, standardised reporting and practical control enhancements, increasing efficiency, transparency and audit readiness across recurring activities.
  • Partner with business teams on financial questions by translating accounting information into clear analysis, strengthening accountability for costs, performance and operating plans.

Essential Skills & Technologies

  • Qualified Chartered Accountant with 2–3 years of experience across audit, international audit, financial reporting or financial planning and analysis, supported by strong accounting and control fundamentals.
  • Strong proficiency in Excel and financial modelling, including reconciliations, variance analysis, budgeting, forecasting and management reporting, with the ability to work accurately across large datasets.
  • Clear communication, structured problem-solving and stakeholder management skills, with the judgement to investigate discrepancies, prioritise deadlines and present financial insights to non-finance teams.

Additional Plus

  • Experience working with international entities, cross-border reporting requirements or multinational audit processes, including coordination across different teams, time zones or accounting environments.
  • Familiarity with ERP systems, planning tools, dashboarding or finance automation, particularly where technology improves reporting quality, control monitoring or recurring analysis.
  • Exposure to process improvement, internal controls, statutory compliance or technical accounting projects that demonstrates the ability to convert findings into sustainable finance outcomes.

What You'll Bring

  • A qualified Chartered Accountant with two to three years of relevant experience in audit, international audit, financial reporting or financial planning and analysis.
  • Strong ownership of deadlines, audit evidence, reconciliations and reporting outputs, with the discipline to maintain accuracy while managing multiple priorities.
  • Practical understanding of accounting standards, financial controls, audit processes, budgeting, forecasting and variance analysis, with the ability to connect technical findings to business impact.
  • Advanced Excel capability and confidence working with ERP or finance systems, structured datasets, financial models and management reports.
  • A detail-oriented approach to investigating inconsistencies, documenting conclusions and escalating risks with clear recommendations.
  • Effective written and verbal communication skills for working with finance leaders, auditors, business stakeholders and international teams.
  • A collaborative mindset and willingness to work onsite in Navi Mumbai, contribute to process improvements and build dependable finance routines.
  • Professional integrity, commercial curiosity and the ability to turn financial information into concise insights that support stronger decisions and accountability.

Why Join Us
