Role Brief

Goodera's finance function is scaling alongside the business. We're looking for a sharp, ownership-driven professional with a strong accounting and finance-operations background to drive automation, AI adoption, and process improvement across the finance function — building on the strong foundation already in place and taking it further. The charter spans the day-to-day finance engine: accounting and month-end close, reconciliations, billing and collections, reporting and MIS, and compliance. Reporting and analytics are part of the role, but the core mandate is driving projects that make finance operations faster, cleaner, and more scalable as we grow. If you're comfortable in the detail and enjoy taking a project from problem identification through to implementation, this role offers real ownership in a fast-scaling global organization.

Key Responsibilities

Automation & AI Ownership

• Take ownership of the automation already built into finance processes and extend it further across close, reconciliations, billing, and reporting

• Automate recurring data pulls, reconciliations, and report generation using AI tools, Excel macros / Power Query, low-code platforms, or scripting

• Build automation that's robust enough for other team members to rely on

Process Improvement

• Map current finance processes end-to-end (record-to-report, order-to-cash, procure-to-pay) and identify opportunities to streamline them

• Partner with accounting, sales operations, and tech / IT teams to design, implement, and test process changes

• Bring a continuous-improvement mindset as the business and its entity structure scale

Financial Reporting & Analytics Support

• Support finance dashboards and MIS: revenue, cash, receivables / payables, and expense trends by client / entity / period

• Help surface trends, anomalies, and drivers of movement (client mix, seasonality, deferred revenue build-up, billing and collection lags) for leadership review

• Update and refine reports and dashboards as reporting needs evolve

Accounting & Month-End Close

• Support month-end close across the ledger: accruals, prepaids, revenue recognition schedules, deferred revenue rollforward, and expense provisioning

• Apply revenue recognition and accounting principles (Ind AS 115 / IFRS 15 and Ind AS / US GAAP as applicable) consistently across contracts and entities

Stakeholder Coordination

• Work closely with accounting, sales operations, billing, and collections teams to ensure clean, timely financial data

• Coordinate across group entities to keep multi-entity reporting aligned

Required Skills and Qualifications

• Commerce graduate or postgraduate (mandatory); MBA (Finance), CA-Inter, or equivalent strongly preferred

• 2-3 years of experience in finance operations, accounting, revenue / billing, or FP&A

• Hands-on experience working with AI and automation tools (e.g. AI assistants / LLMs, Excel macros / Power Query, low-code or scripting tools) to streamline finance workflows

• Strong, hands-on Excel skills (pivot tables, lookups, Power Query) — this role lives in Excel-driven automation

• Working knowledge of Power BI / Tableau to support dashboard maintenance and updates

• Working understanding of core accounting and revenue recognition concepts (Ind AS / IFRS 15) 

• A self-starting mindset with a genuine interest in process and automation — this role has real ownership, not a defined checklist

• Adaptable, eager to learn, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, multi-entity environment

Good to Have

• Exposure to SQL or any scripting / low-code automation tool

• Experience in a services / SaaS business model with recurring or milestone-based revenue

• Experience working with more than one accounting tool (experience with Zoho Books is a plus)
