Chartered Account (CA) Finance & Compliance

This role is for one of the Weekday's clients

Salary range: Rs - Rs (ie INR 12-15 LPA)

Min Experience: 2+ years

Location: Bangalore

JobType: full-time

We are seeking a detail-oriented, ownership-driven Chartered Accountant to take full responsibility for finance, compliance, and reporting across our entities. This role involves building processes from the ground up rather than maintaining existing ones: you will design financial procedures and controls that enable rapid operations without sacrificing compliance, and bring in-house tasks currently managed by external consultants. You should be comfortable handling complexity—managing funds across multiple entities and adapting revenue streams from subscriptions today to transaction- and brokerage-based flows in the future. We value individuals who prioritize execution and research over high-level strategy, can adapt to evolving regulations, and quickly find effective solutions.
