Finance Controller

Onsite · Bengaluru · CA / CA Inter (with articleship) / MBA Finance · 4–6 years experience

City Greens is a fast-growing AgriTech startup building automation and AI-driven solutions for Controlled Environment Agriculture (CEA). We build, automate, and operate commercial farm setups across India, the UK, and the UAE, and run a produce buy-back program supplying major retail platforms.

As we scale across geographies, we need a finance controller to own our financial control, reporting, and compliance — and give leadership a clear, timely picture of the numbers.

Role overview

We are looking for a finance controller to own the controllership function onsite. This is a control and oversight role, not a day-to-day book-keeping one — the routine accounting runs beneath you, and you own the close, the reporting, the compliance, and the controls on top of it. You will work closely with the founder and leadership, and someone who has done their articleship and worked under practising CAs will be a strong fit.

What you will do

Financial control & close

Own the month-end and year-end close. Review the books maintained by the accounts team, run reconciliations, and ensure accurate, audit-ready financials across entities.

Reporting & MIS

Prepare and own monthly P&L, balance sheet, and cash flow. Build MIS, budgets, and variance analysis that drive leadership decisions, and present the numbers with a clear point of view.

Compliance & audit

Oversee GST, TDS, income tax, PF, ESI, and ROC compliance. Manage statutory and internal audits end to end, and act as the primary point of contact for auditors and consultants.

Controls & governance

Design and enforce financial controls, approval workflows, and process discipline. Strengthen systems as the company scales and flag risks early.

Cross-border coordination

Oversee finance coordination across our India, UK, and UAE operations, working with local accountants and advisors where needed.
