Job description

Job Overview:

Welcome to Decision Foundry!

Decision Foundry is a cloud-native, AppSec-first data and decisioning organization operating across the US, India, and Canada. As Principal Security & Cloud Engineer, you are our most senior hands-on technical authority across cloud infrastructure, application and AI security, and the engineering side of Governance, Risk, Compliance & Privacy (GRC).

About Role:

We are looking for a Finance Manager to own the day-to-day finance engine across our three entities — India, the United States and Canada. This is a hands-on ownership role, not a supervisory one. You will run accounts receivable and accounts payable end to end, close the books each month, keep all three entities compliant, forecast and protect cash, and produce the MIS that leadership actually makes decisions on.

Equally important: you will build the processes rather than inherit them. We are looking for someone who sees a manual, error-prone workflow and redesigns it — including using AI and automation to compress the effort involved — instead of adding another checklist to it.

You will work with a small team, senior stakeholders across geographies, and external partners including auditors, tax consultants, CPAs and payroll vendors. You will need to be comfortable operating with limited hand-holding, and with overlap into North American working hours during close and reporting cycles.

What You'll Do

1. Accounts Receivable & Accounts Payable • Own the complete order-to-cash cycle: invoicing accuracy, customer billing schedules, milestone and recurring billing, credit terms, and dispute resolution.

• Drive collections and DSO reduction through a structured escalation ladder; maintain ageing discipline and provisioning for doubtful debts.

• Own procure-to-pay: purchase order discipline, three-way matching, vendor onboarding and KYC, invoice approvals, payment runs, and DPO management.

• Maintain vendor and customer master data integrity, with specific controls over changes to bank details and payment instructions.

• Enforce maker–checker controls, delegation of authority limits, and segregation of duties across all disbursements.

2. Month-End Close, Consolidation & MIS • Own a published close calendar and deliver the monthly close to deadline across all three entities.

• Prepare and review accruals, prepaids, provisions, depreciation and all balance sheet schedules; maintain clean, reconciled ledgers.

• Perform intercompany reconciliation, recharges and elimination; handle multi-currency accounting and FX revaluation across INR, USD and CAD.

• Produce consolidated and entity-wise financial statements with variance commentary that explains why numbers moved, not merely that they moved.

• Design and maintain the monthly MIS pack: entity-wise and BU-wise P&L, cash position, AR/AP ageing, key ratios and operational finance metrics.

3. Statutory Compliance & Audit — All Three Entities • India: GST returns and GSTR-2B reconciliation, TDS/TCS deduction, payment and returns, advance tax, ROC/MCA filings, Companies Act compliance, FEMA/RBI requirements including FIRC and export documentation, transfer pricing documentation and Form 3CEB, and PF/PT/ESI coordination.

• United States: sales and use tax nexus tracking, state registrations and filings, W-9/W-8 collection, 1099 filings, and coordination with external CPAs on federal and state returns.

• Canada: GST/HST and QST filings where applicable, T4A/T5018 reporting, and provincial obligations.

• Manage statutory, tax and internal audits end to end: prepare schedules, respond to queries, close observations, and reduce repeat findings year on year.

• Maintain a live compliance calendar with named owners and evidence trails; ensure zero missed filings and zero penalties.

• Track and respond to notices, assessments and departmental queries across all geographies.

4. Treasury, Cash Flow & FX • Own a rolling 13-week cash flow forecast at entity and consolidated level, with variance analysis against actuals.

• Manage banking operations across three geographies: mandates, signatories, account structures and banking relationships.

• Monitor FX exposure across INR, USD and CAD and recommend hedging or timing strategies to protect margins.

• Manage working capital actively — the levers being DSO, DPO and the inventory of unbilled revenue.

5. FP&A, Budgeting & Business Partnering • Build and maintain the annual budget and periodic reforecasts at entity and business-unit level.

• Deliver monthly budget-versus-actual analysis with clear drivers and corrective recommendations.

• Own the cost allocation methodology across entities and business units, including shared-service and headcount cost attribution.

• Partner with business leaders on vendor spend, headcount cost, project profitability and unit economics.

6. Payroll Oversight • Oversee payroll processing across India, the US and Canada in coordination with internal HR and external payroll vendors.

• Reconcile payroll to the general ledger, validate statutory deductions and remittances, and manage payroll-related accruals.

• Administer reimbursement and travel & expense policy, including compliance checks and audit of claims.

7. Process Design, Controls & Automation • Document and standardise SOPs for every recurring finance process; make the function auditable and transferable rather than person-dependent.

• Build the internal control framework: approval matrices, reconciliation cadence, review evidence, and fraud prevention controls over payments.

• Identify and implement automation and AI-assisted workflows to reduce manual effort and cycle time — for example invoice data extraction and auto-coding in AP, automated bank reconciliation, anomaly detection across ledgers and reconciliations, AI-drafted collections follow-ups and
