About the team
The Finance team at CASE Platforms acts as a steward for the organisation and also supports its business growth - spanning controllership, finance operations, business finance, investor relations, taxation, and secretarial. The team plays a key role in equipping the organisation with the right financial information, and ensuring that the organisation’s financial foundation keeps pace with its growth.
About the role
We are looking to hire an ownership-driven individual for CASE Platforms’ Finance team. The role involves leading and managing the finance team, while also contributing individually across projects and tasks that require direct hands-on effort. The role involves interfacing both with internal stakeholders (business, product teams) as well as external ones (statutory auditors, tax consultants, etc.). As the organisation scales and its business lines grow, it is important that the finance function keeps us with the requirements of such growth &amp; scale; the mandate of the role is to achieve the same.&nbsp;
