How do you hire a finance manager in India?

Write down what the finance manager will own, set the CTC band and the companies you would like to hire from, then screen for hands-on closing, reporting and compliance skills. A specialist recruiter can run the search: Accounting Baba sends 3 to 5 CA-reviewed profiles within 7 working days of receiving the service charge.

Paid service for employers. The employer pays; the candidate pays nothing.

Define the role before you search

Finance manager means different things in different companies. List what the person will own: the monthly close and MIS, GST and TDS compliance, the statutory audit, cash flow and banking, and the team. Decide who they report to and which decisions they can take alone. A clear brief makes every later step faster.

Where good finance managers come from

A job portal reaches people who are looking at that moment. Many strong finance managers are not. Name the companies you would like to hire from, including your competitors, and approach people working there. That is how we run every search.
