About The Opportunity

We are partnering with a Private Equity fund to recruit a Chief Financial Officer for a new NBFC platform being built from the ground up.

The CFO will be a fund appointee, working alongside the operating management team. This is a rare opportunity to be at the founding table of a PE-owned NBFC, shaping its financial architecture, governance, and scaling trajectory from day one.

Key Responsibilities

Ensure compliance with RBI NBFC regulations, Ind AS, and all statutory obligations (GST, TDS, ROC)

Treasury & ALM

Build and manage the liability franchise - bank lines, NCDs, and other borrowing instruments
Own Asset-Liability Management (ALM), liquidity risk, and interest rate risk frameworks
Lead fundraising and capital market activities in line with growth targets
Manage cost of funds and optimize the funding mix as the AUM scales

Strategic finance & investor relations

Act as the primary financial interface with the PE fund - reporting, covenants, and governance
Drive financial planning, budgeting, and AUM growth projections
Support portfolio company M&A or acquisition diligence as the platform expands
Build the financial systems and technology infrastructure fit for scale

Regulatory & governance

Interface with RBI for all regulatory reporting, audits, and compliance matters
Implement board governance frameworks aligned with PE fund expectations
Monitor capital adequacy (CRAR), NPA provisioning, and credit risk metrics

Ideal candidate
