The finance function is two people. You'll be one of them.\nAccounting is outsourced today. You'll bring it in house, and you'll run it daily rather than monthly.\nThat daily part is the job. The books close every day, not every month. Cash position is published every day. Transactions are categorized the day they land. The founders query the ledger directly using AI tools, which means the data has to be clean continuously, not tidied up in the first week of the following month. Month end becomes a review rather than an excavation.\nYou'll own both entities, India and the US: daily close, cash forecasting, revenue recognition on fixed-fee SOWs, AP and AR, collections, budget versus actual on partner-funded programs, and the statutory calendar in two countries. External firms stay on to review, a CPA firm on the US side and a CA firm in India. You report to the founders. Nobody will chase you. You run it.\nWorking hours are 2:00 pm to 11:30 pm IST. That covers the Indian business afternoon and the US East Coast morning, so you can reach an auditor in Mumbai and a customer in New York on the same day.\nWhat you'll do?\nKeep the books current every day in QuickBooks for the US and Zoho Books for India. Categorize transactions, clear bank feeds, and reconcile as things happen. At the end of any given day the ledger should reflect reality.\nPublish a daily cash position across both entities and both currencies, with a rolling 13-week forecast covering receivables expected in, payables and payroll going out, and statutory payments due. Founders review it weekly, which means it has to be right daily.\nKeep the ledger queryable. Consistent chart of accounts, consistent vendor and customer naming, class and location tagging by entity and business unit, nothing parked in suspense or left uncategorized. The founders ask questions of the books using AI tools, and an agent will answer confidently from bad data.\nRun budget versus actual reporting on MDF and MDF-like programs. This spend goes through a PO process rather than company cards, so you'll track each program from approved budget through PO committed, invoice received, paid, claimed, and reimbursed. Flag overspend, ineligible cost, and approaching claim deadlines before they cost us the claim.\nChase the pieces that make that report true: PO approvals, vendor invoices, and proof-of-performance documentation from the teams running the programs. Card spend is already classified by our expense tool, so this is the part that needs a person, politely and repeatedly, without escalating each time.\nRun revenue collection. Invoice against SOW milestones, follow up by email on everything outstanding, and tell the founders what is at risk before it becomes a problem rather than after.\nTake the books in house from the current provider's team. Get the records, the portal access, and the opening balances, work out what was being done loosely, and stand up a process you would sign your name to. The provider's CA stays on as India reviewer, so you inherit the work rather than the relationship.\nRecognize revenue on fixed-fee, fixed-date SOWs. Separate assessment and POC contracts from production SOWs, track performance obligations across periods, and account for consideration that varies with delivery commitments.\nHandle the unusual streams: AWS partner economics, including marketplace disbursements, MAP funding claims, rebates and co-sell incentives, plus sales compensation accruals covering commission on collected revenue, logo-based bonuses, advances against bonus, and forfeiture conditions.\nOwn the compliance calendar for both geographies, manage the external firms who review and file, reconcile intercompany monthly, and maintain transfer pricing support. You prepare, they review, nothing slips.\nPrepare and initiate payments for founder review and approval. You are the maker, a founder is the checker, and that separation stays in place as volume grows\nWhat we're looking for?\nChartered Accountant, India, with at least 3 years of professional experience after articleship.\nFull ownership of a close at least once, from open items through to financials someone signed off. Not one slice of a close run by somebody else.\nFollow-through as a habit rather than an intention. Most of this job is small things done on time, every time: transactions categorized the same day, receivables chased, PO documentation collected before a claim deadline. If you need someone to remind you, this is the wrong role.\nThe temperament to chase people without friction. You will spend real time asking colleagues for PO paperwork and program documentation, and customers for money, and you need to get both without making enemies or escalating every instance.\nBudget versus actual reporting against a fixed program budget, with commitments tracked separately from incurred cost. If you have done restricted-fund, grant, or project accounting, that is the same shape as what we need.\nComfort in two ledgers and two currencies, with the discipline to keep them reconciled rather than nearly reconciled.\nJudgment to work without a controller above you. You know which questions you answer, which go to the external CPA, and which go to a founder, and you escalate early rather than guessing.\nAvailability for 2:00 pm to 11:30 pm IST. The late half of the day is when the US work happens, and it is not an occasional thing.\nClear written English. You'll write collection emails to US customers, and questions to external advisors and the founders.\nYou'll be preferred if you\nHold a US CPA, or are working toward it. We will sponsor the remaining exams and fees.\nHave run a daily or weekly close rather than only a monthly one, and can describe what you changed to make that sustainable.\nHave built a rolling cash forecast that someone actually made decisions from.\nHave applied ASC 606 or Ind AS 115 to services revenue, particularly fixed-fee engagements where consideration moves with delivery.\nHave worked inside a US and India two-entity structure, including intercompany and transfer pricing.\nHave handled cloud partner program accounting for AWS, Azure, or GCP, including marketplace settlements, MDF or MAP funding claims, and rebates.\nHave tracked restricted funds or grants where spend had to stay inside approved categories and be claimed before a deadline. Sector does not matter. The mechanics transfer.\nHave automated part of a close in any tool. We build agents for a living, and we would rather you script a reconciliation than repeat it forty times.","description_format":"text","description_chars":6596,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":3,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"All levels","optional":false}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"India","iso":"IN","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Data Management","Cloud Computing","Data Engineering","IT Consulting"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-05T18:36:53Z"}],"liveness":{"score":29,"band":"fade","label":"Fading","p_open":1,"p_active":0.522,"p_room":0.55,"age_days":41,"expected_fill_days":39,"reasons":["conf:0","stale_co","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-09-24T05:45:00Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/mactores-senior-accountant","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/mactores-senior-accountant.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-24T20:36:52Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers"}}
