"We train India's next Allied Healthcare Professionals and we need someone who treats each campus like their own company, not just a row in a spreadsheet.
This is not a traditional accounting or controllership role.
This is for someone who wants to be in the room where growth, admissions, and campus operations decisions are made; bringing the financial lens that turns good intentions into profitable outcomes."
Why This Role Exists
Most finance people explain the P&L after the quarter ends. We want someone who changes it before it does. If you've ever sat in a business meeting thinking "I could've told you that three weeks ago", this is your seat.
What You'll Own
Run the numbers behind real campuses, enrollments, faculty costs, placements, profitability. Know them cold.
Be in the room, not the report; sit with Business Heads and speak up before decisions are made, not just summarize them after.
Chase the "why" behind the money; why did this channel's cost-per-enrollment spike? Why is one campus profitable and a near-identical one isn't?
Follow the cash all the way home from student loan approval to actual money in the bank.
Build the model before anyone asks for it; forecasts, business cases, what-ifs rooted in real batch sizes and seat fill rates, not last year's numbers with 15% added on.
Who You Are
3 to 7 years in FP&A or business finance; bonus if it's EdTech, healthtech, FinTech, or another fast-moving, multi-location business
You've worked with business teams, not just for them
Excel/Sheets fluent; SQL or BI tools a bonus
You can explain a complex model in one sentence a non-finance person gets instantly
Curious by default; you ask "why" before you build the spreadsheet
Confident enough to challenge a decision with data, even without authority over the room
Bonus Point
CA / MBA (Finance) / CFA. Startup scars preferred over big-company polish.
Winning Looks Like
Six months in, a Business Head calls you before making a big call, not after. And you can point to one real number you moved.
