- Monitor revenue, expenses, margins and profitability at the unit/property level.
- Manage bank, vendor, payment gateway and OTA reconciliations.
- Oversee GST, TDS, income tax and other applicable statutory compliances.

What We're Looking For- Someone who is comfortable building systems and processes from zero.
- Someone who can operate independently without relying on an existing finance team or established processes.
- A hands-on professional who is comfortable wearing multiple hats.
- Someone who is flexible and understands that startup work may not follow fixed working hours.
- A problem-solver who can take ownership and build a scalable finance function as the business grows.
Why Join Us- Opportunity to build the finance function from the ground up.
- Direct exposure to founders and business decision-making.
- High ownership and autonomy.

- Interested candidates can apply with their updated CV and relevant experience details.
