Financial Controller

Location: Pune, Maharashtra, India | Experience: Senior Level (8-12 years)

About the Company

We are a business process management and business process outsourcing organization with more than 30 years of experience helping clients improve how they operate. Our teams work across India, the United States, and the Philippines, supporting a global delivery model built on process discipline, operational ownership, and measurable service outcomes. We are guided by a vision centered on delivering dependable, high-quality service while creating meaningful opportunities for our people. Women represent 70% of our workforce, reflecting our commitment to an inclusive workplace where varied perspectives strengthen decisions and performance. We invest in employee wellbeing, leadership development, recognition, and community partnerships. Our benefits include health insurance, term insurance, and maternity and paternity support. Depending on business and role requirements, teams may work from office or remotely. In this role, you will join the finance organization in Pune and help strengthen the controls, reporting reliability, compliance discipline, and financial visibility that support responsible growth across the company.

About the Role

The Financial Controller will own the integrity of financial reporting, accounting controls, compliance routines, and close management for the organization’s Pune finance operations. The role will translate financial data into reliable management insight, ensuring leaders understand performance, risks, cash implications, and corrective actions. You will lead a disciplined control environment across reporting, reconciliations, audit readiness, and policy adherence. Success means accurate and timely books, fewer control gaps, predictable close cycles, and clear financial accountability across stakeholders. The role partners with operations, corporate finance, auditors, and business leaders to resolve issues at source rather than manage recurring exceptions. It also strengthens processes and systems so finance can scale with the company’s global delivery model while maintaining dependable governance.

Key Responsibilities

• Own monthly, quarterly, and annual close processes through defined calendars, reconciliations, review controls, and escalation routines, improving reporting timeliness and confidence in reported results.
• Lead statutory, tax, internal, and external audit readiness through evidence ownership, issue tracking, and remediation governance, reducing compliance exposure and recurring audit findings.
• Maintain the financial control framework across accounting policies, approval matrices, segregation of duties, and balance-sheet reviews, protecting assets and improving decision-quality data.
• Deliver management reporting on revenue, costs, margins, working capital, and variances through standardized dashboards, enabling leaders to act quickly on performance and financial risk.
• Partner with operations and shared-service teams to investigate root causes of financial exceptions, redesign process handoffs, and reduce rework, leakage, and control failures.
• Coach finance professionals and establish review standards, documentation practices, and accountability mechanisms that build a capable, consistent, and scalable controllership function.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and business planning by validating assumptions, challenging variances, and connecting financial outlooks to operational drivers and resource decisions.

Essential Skills & Technologies

• Strong command of financial accounting, controllership, month-end close, statutory compliance, internal controls, audit management, reconciliations, and management reporting in a multi-location environment.
• Advanced Excel capability and practical experience with enterprise resource planning or finance systems, reporting tools, and data controls used to improve accuracy, visibility, and process standardization.
• Demonstrated ability to interpret financial performance, communicate risks to senior stakeholders, lead cross-functional remediation, and convert complex accounting issues into clear business actions.

Additional Plus

• Experience in business process management, business process outsourcing, shared services, or another operationally complex service environment with distributed teams and standardized delivery processes.
• Exposure to finance transformation, automation, process redesign, or control analytics that has improved close efficiency, reporting quality, compliance, or working-capital outcomes.
• Professional qualification such as CA, CMA, ACCA, or CPA, or equivalent advanced expertise developed through progressive controllership responsibilities.

What You'll Bring

• You bring a Master’s degree in Accounting, Finance, Commerce, Business Administration, or a closely related field, providing advanced academic preparation for financial controllership and governance.
• You bring 8–12 years of progressive experience across accounting, financial reporting, controllership, audit, or finance operations, with evidence of owning outcomes rather than only completing transactions.
• You bring a control-minded approach: you investigate variances, challenge incomplete evidence, document decisions, and design preventative mechanisms that make accurate reporting repeatable.
• You bring strong stakeholder leadership across operations, finance, auditors, and senior management, communicating financial implications clearly and creating timely accountability for corrective actions.
• You bring analytical depth in close performance, balance-sheet integrity, cash and working-capital drivers, budgeting, forecasting, and business performance reporting.
• You bring practical systems fluency, including advanced spreadsheet analysis and experience improving ERP-enabled workflows, dashboards, reconciliations, or reporting controls.
• You bring coaching capability and high standards for review, documentation, ethics, confidentiality, and professional judgment within a distributed, collaborative organization.
