Head of Account & Finance

Euro International School is hiring a Head of Accounts & Finance to build and personally run the accounts and finance function of a 2,200-student CBSE institution in Sikar, Rajasthan.

Compensation: ₹10–15 LPA

Location: Sikar, Rajasthan — full-time, on-site. This is not a remote or hybrid role.

Joining: Immediate joiners preferred.

Preferred qualification: CA, CS, or MBA (Finance).

Most finance leadership roles are inherited — you take over someone else's system and keep it running. This one isn't. You will design the function across two entities, run it yourself with a team of four, and report directly to the Founder.

ABOUT EURO INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL

Euro International School is a CBSE K–12 institution in Sikar, Rajasthan — a district that has quietly become one of India's most serious education towns. EIS today runs at the scale of a mid-sized enterprise: 2,200+ students, over 330 staff, and two entities operating under a single leadership.

That growth happened the way growth usually happens in Indian education — fast, demand-driven, and ahead of the systems built to support it. EIS is now deliberately closing that gap: building the financial discipline, controls and reporting infrastructure of an institution that intends to be here for the next fifty years, not just the next admission cycle.

THE ROLE

You will own the books, the cash flow, the statutory calendar and the reporting across both entities — and build the SOPs that keep all of it running. You report to the Founder, hold sign-off authority, and lead a four-member team. This is a focused, execution-heavy mandate, not a supervisory one.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Books of accounts across both entities — general ledger hygiene, month-end close, and accurate, audit-ready records
• Daily cash and bank reconciliation, with sign-off authority
• Cash flow management, short-term payment planning, and a rolling 12-month model
• Fee-ledger reconciliation and collection accounting
• Monthly statutory dues (PF, TDS, GST), statutory filings and audit preparation across both entities
• Point of contact for auditors and the CA during the statutory audit
• Vendor payments, with final approval authority
• Joint sign-off with HR on monthly payroll processing
• Monthly MIS and financial reporting (Balance Sheet, P&L) to leadership
• Creditor negotiation and a structured, sustainable payoff plan
• Access approvals for finance systems, the quarterly access review, and custody of confidential financial records
• The accounts and finance SOPs, and the structure, ownership and review cadence of a four-member team

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• The books are closed on a predictable monthly cycle and stay audit-ready
• Statutory obligations are consistently compliant and predictable
• Leadership has reliable, timely visibility into cash flow and financial position
• Fee collections and receivables are accurately tracked and actively managed
• Monthly MIS becomes a dependable decision-making tool
• Accounting and finance processes are documented, controlled and consistently followed

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Chartered Accountant (CA) preferred. CS or MBA (Finance) considered where backed by hands-on accounts and finance leadership.
• 7–10 years in accounts and finance leadership, with demonstrated multi-entity P&L ownership
• Available to join immediately, or on a short notice period
• Exposure to trust / society / Section 12A structures preferred, not mandatory
• Experience with creditor negotiation and cash-flow-led prioritisation — required
• Comfortable building financial models and trackers independently, with a track record of designing a financial process and personally running it over time, not just handing it off
• Prior experience working closely with a founder or promoter in a hands-on, actively involved setup
• Based in Sikar, or willing to relocate. This is a full-time on-site role — not remote, not hybrid, and not negotiable.

WHAT EIS OFFERS

• A direct reporting line to the Founder, with genuine decision authority
• Full ownership of the function — your systems, your team, your call
• Relocation assistance for you and your family
• ₹10–15 LPA, benchmarked to experience and discussed openly at the first conversation
