Finance Controller

About Us
SwitchOn is a Bangalore-based deep-tech company on a mission to eliminate
manufacturing defects with AI-powered vision inspection systems. Our platform,
DeepInspect, is deployed on factory floors across India, Europe, and Southeast Asia,
serving industry leaders such as Unilever, P&G, ITC, Maruti, and Bosch. We are Series
B funded and scaling rapidly across geographies and verticals.

About the Role
We are seeking an experienced Finance Controller to own and lead all financial
operations at SwitchOn. This is a foundational leadership role -- you will be the first
dedicated finance leader on the ground, reporting directly to the Co-Founders. You will
build the financial infrastructure that supports our next phase of growth: international
expansion, increasing revenue complexity, and accountability to institutional investors.
You will not just report numbers -- you will help us understand them, act on them, and
build the systems to scale with us.

Key Responsibilities
• Own end-to-end financial reporting: P&L, balance sheet, cash flow, and MIS
across India and international entities.
• Lead statutory compliance across India, US, and EU jurisdictions -- including tax
filings, transfer pricing, and regulatory submissions.
• Build and manage budgeting, forecasting, and financial planning processes in
close collaboration with business leads.
• Drive accounts receivable and payable discipline, with a focus on working capital
optimization.
• Manage relationships with auditors, banks, investors, and legal/secretarial
partners (CA firms, CS firms).
• Own investor reporting -- board packs, quarterly updates, and ad hoc financial
requests from institutional investors.
• Build scalable finance systems and processes -- ERP implementation, expense
management, internal controls, and audit readiness.
• Support future fundraises, M&A activity, and due diligence processes as the
business scales.

Requirements
• A CA (Chartered Accountant) qualification is mandatory.
• 6+ years of post-qualification experience, ideally including time at a Big 4 or
mid-tier audit firm and a high-growth startup.
• Strong command of Indian accounting standards (Ind AS) and working
knowledge of US GAAP or IFRS.
• Hands-on experience with multi-entity and multi-currency financial consolidation.
• Familiarity with SaaS or technology business models, including revenue
recognition and deferred revenue.
• Experience managing statutory audits and liaising with regulatory authorities
(MCA, RBI, Income Tax).
• Prior exposure to investor reporting and fundraising due diligence is a strong
plus.
• Excellent communication skills -- able to translate complex financials for
non-finance stakeholders.
• High integrity, attention to detail, and a bias for building systems rather than
firefighting.

Why Join Us
• SwitchOn just closed its Series B and is entering its most ambitious phase -- new
geographies, new verticals, and a growing institutional investor base. You will be
building the finance function from the ground up at exactly the right moment.
• You will work directly with the Co-Founders and have a seat at the table on every
major business decision. This is not a back-office role -- it is a strategic one.
• Our customers run some of the most complex manufacturing operations in the
world. The financial complexity you will manage reflects that ambition.
• Meaningful ESOP participation at a post-Series B stage, with a clear path to CFO
as the company scales.
