How the fee compares

8.33% of annual CTC, for every role.

One month’s CTC is 8.33% of the annual CTC. Agency fees for senior hires in India usually run higher. VelivoHR puts contingency fees at up to 16.67% of CTC for senior roles and 20% to 25% for retained C-suite search (VelivoHR, 2026). Athena Executive Search puts executive search at 20% to 33% of first-year CTC, and 25% to 33% for a CFO (Athena Executive Search, August 2026).

Finance manager at ₹18 lakh CTC

  • Our fee: ₹1,50,000 plus applicable taxes
  • Paid upfront: ₹5,000, adjusted against the fee. The balance of ₹1,45,000 is due within 10 days of joining
  • At 12% to 16.67%: about ₹2.16 to ₹3 lakh

CFO at ₹48 lakh CTC

  • Our fee: ₹4 lakh plus applicable taxes
  • Paid upfront: ₹5,000, adjusted against the fee
  • At 20% to 33% (executive search): about ₹9.6 to ₹15.8 lakh

Why ₹5,000 upfront? It is not an extra charge. It is adjusted against the fee when you hire, and half of it is returned if we do not close the opening within 30 days of receiving it. It lets us spend our time on openings that are going to be filled.

The CTC figures are examples, not quotes. The 12% figure is the lower end of the senior-role band cited in Indian fee guides; VelivoHR gives the 16.67% upper end. All amounts exclude applicable taxes.

What employers say.

"We needed a Finance Manager for our India operations. Got 4 profiles, all relevant. Hired within 2 weeks. Honestly better than we expected from a first-time engagement."

Jasmine LimsoklianHR and Admin · Sher & Khass Tanuwijaya Pte Ltd · Singapore

"Finding a CFO who gets both finance and the jewellery business is tough. Accounting Baba understood what we needed from day one. The person they placed has been exactly right."

Poonam ShahStrategic Advisor · Kalamandir Jewellers Limited · Jewellery

"We were sceptical. Three profiles, all relevant. The Finance Head they found has been solid from day one. The 17-point screening is not just a marketing line: you actually feel the difference."

Questions

Before you ask.

You will have your first shortlist within 7 working days of receiving the service charge. The full timeline depends on how quickly interviews are scheduled on your end.
No annual fee, retainer or monthly charge. Our fee is one month’s CTC of the candidate you hire, plus applicable taxes. ₹5,000 per job opening is paid upfront as a service charge and is adjusted against that fee; the balance is payable within 10 days of the candidate joining.
Typically 3 to 5 profiles. Each one is screened, interviewed, and CA-reviewed before it reaches you. We do not send 50 CVs and leave the work to you.
We offer a 90-day replacement. If the candidate resigns or is let go within 90 days of joining, we find one replacement for the same role at no additional fee. It applies when the fee has been paid on time and you tell us within 7 days of the exit, and not when the exit is due to redundancy, restructuring or a change in the role, location or salary. Full details are in our Terms of Business.
For senior roles, yes, Senior Accountant, Finance Manager, CFO and comparable leadership finance positions, wherever in India you're hiring. For junior or entry-level roles outside Surat, we're not the right fit; a job board like WorkIndia, Apna or Job Hai, or a local generalist agency, will usually serve you faster and cheaper. In Surat itself, we place any level, junior included, through our own training-linked pipeline.
