Manager - Finance & Accounts

FINANCE AND ACCOUNTS MANAGER (8-10 yrs) @ METADOME.AI

ABOUT METADOME:

Metadome is a deep-tech company building deterministic 3D visualization, CAD-intelligence, and digital twin products for automotive and industrial OEMs. Headquartered in Bengaluru with a growing footprint in the US and the Middle East, we are scaling from a services-led business into a global, productized platform - and finance is central to making that transition disciplined and fundable.

THE ROLE:

We are hiring a hands-on Finance and Accounts Manager to own end-to-end finance operations across our Indian and US entities: accounting, taxation, statutory compliance, treasury, payroll, MIS, and financial reporting. You will work directly with the founders and our external CA/CPA partners, and you will play a mandatory, hands-on role in fundraising - investor data rooms, financial due diligence, and board reporting.

This is a builder's seat. You will put in place the systems, controls, and reporting cadence of a company preparing for its next institutional round.

WHAT YOU'LL OWN:

1. Controllership and Compliance:

- Books of accounts and monthly close for the India entity; coordination with our US CPA on the US entity's books and filings

- End-to-end statutory compliance: GST, TDS, ROC/MCA filings, and the annual compliance calendar

- Payroll processing and employee compliance (PF, ESI, PT, gratuity)

- Cross-border hygiene: intercompany agreements and reconciliations, transfer pricing documentation, FEMA/RBI filings

- Statutory, tax, and internal audit coordination; internal controls and finance policies

2. Treasury and Working Capital:

- Cash flow planning and treasury management across entities and currencies

- Banking relationships, forex, and payment operations

- Working capital discipline: receivables follow-through, vendor terms, and continuous runway tracking

3. Billing, AR/AP and Vendor Management:

- Invoicing and collections for enterprise OEM customers across geographies - both milestone/project billing and subscription billing

- Revenue recognition across services and product/subscription lines

- Accounts payable, vendor onboarding, contract compliance, and dispute resolution

4. FP&A, MIS and Board Reporting:

- Annual budgets, rolling forecasts, and variance analysis with functional leaders

- Monthly MIS and board packs on a fixed calendar

- SaaS and services metrics: ARR, NRR, gross margin by revenue line, burn, and runway

- Financial inputs for pricing and commercial decisions

5. Fundraising and Investor Relations (Mandatory):

- Hands-on support for institutional fundraising: financial model, valuation inputs, and runway scenarios

- Build and maintain a diligence-ready investor data room as a standing asset

- Drive financial due diligence to close; coordinate founders, investors, auditors, company secretary, and legal counsel

- Investor MIS and reporting cadence post-raise; cap table and ESOP administration support

6. Systems and Process:

- Own the finance stack (accounting/ERP, payroll, expenses, billing) and automate manual workflows

- Document SOPs so the function is audit- and diligence-ready by default

MUST-HAVES:

- 8 - 10 years in finance and accounts, including 3 - 5 years in a VC-funded SaaS or technology startup

- Hands-on participation in at least one institutional fundraising round - data room, due diligence, and investor reporting. This is non-negotiable.

- Strong command of Indian accounting standards, direct and indirect taxation, and corporate compliance

- Experience running statutory audits and building internal controls

- Fluency in SaaS metrics and startup finance

- Advanced Excel / Google Sheets; hands-on with ERP and accounting tools (e.g., Zoho Books, Tally, QuickBooks, NetSuite)

STRONG TO HAVE:

- CA / CMA / MBA (Finance) or equivalent

- Exposure to US entity accounting, US GAAP, or India - US cross-border structures and transfer pricing

- Enterprise B2B billing across currencies and geographies

- ESOP administration and cap table tooling

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE IN YEAR ONE:

- Monthly close and MIS run on a fixed, predictable calendar

- A live, diligence-ready data room maintained continuously - not rebuilt as a fire drill before each raise

- Clean statutory audits across entities, with no material findings

- A rolling cash flow and runway model the founders use for real decisions

- Zero missed statutory filings across the compliance calendar

WHY JOIN:

- A front-row seat at a deep-tech company selling to global OEMs, right at the inflection from services to product

- Direct work with the founders and genuine ownership of the finance function

- Real fundraising exposure - you are in the room for the raise, not formatting spreadsheets outside it

BEFORE YOU APPLY - MANDATORY FILTER:

Apply only if you have managed end-to-end Finance and Accounts at a SaaS/technology startup and personally worked on fundraising, investor due diligence, and investor reporting. Applications without demonstrable fundraising experience will not be considered. In your application, briefly describe the round(s) you supported and exactly what you did.

Metadome is an equal-opportunity employer. We assess candidates on capability and evidence of ownership.
