About the role

This role is about bringing sharp financial discipline to a company whose revenue engine is scaling fast : ). As we move from $8M to $50M ARR over the next couple of years, we want to ensure every number, ledger, and process is rock-solid from the early days — the kind of foundation that lets us compound for years.

This is an important senior hire in our finance team, owning all things accounting end-to-end and working closely with the CEO, leadership, and our auditors. You’ll set up the systems, processes, and controls that keep our books airtight and support our growth.

What you’ll do

  • Own and run all core accounting operations — month-end close, reconciliations, payables, receivables, revenue recognition, fixed assets, and ledger management.
  • Ensure full adherence to statutory compliance including PF, PT, GST, TDS, ROC filings, and other regulatory requirements.
  • Build and maintain a strong accounting control environment , ensuring accuracy, timeliness, and consistency in financial reporting.
  • Partner closely with finance leadership on budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis , ensuring clean handoffs between accounting and FP&A.
  • Manage the company’s cash flow visibility by maintaining accurate books and timely reconciliations.
  • Own financial reporting — monthly, quarterly, and annual — ensuring everything is audit-ready and compliant with accounting standards.
  • Lead revenue accounting for a SaaS business , ensuring correct recognition, deferred revenue management, and subscription-level accuracy.
  • Drive process automation , implement accounting best practices, and establish SOPs to improve efficiency and reduce manual errors.
  • Manage relationships with auditors , ensuring a smooth and timely statutory audit, including working with a Big 4 audit team.
  • Support the finance function on broader initiatives like cost control, internal controls , and systems implementation (ERP, tools, workflows, etc.).
  • What makes you a good fit

  • 4+ years of experience in accounting, controllership, or audit(Big 4 experience preferred).
  • You’ve handled or scaled accounting operations in a SaaS or tech-led company .
  • You enjoy building things from 0–1 — processes, systems, policies, and controls.
  • You understand revenue recognition, deferred revenue, and the nuances of subscription accounting.
  • You’re detail-oriented, love clean books , and take pride in getting the numbers right — every time.
  • Salary and Location

    Location : Bangalore

    Expected CTC : We pay top of market for the right folks and also offer generous equity (ESOP) to everyone in the team

    Our Purpose

    At BiteSpeed, work is personal. You could blame this on us being existential, but most of us are spending the best years of our lives doing this and we want to be purposeful about the kind of workplace we’re trying to create.

    Our purpose is about why we’re here and what we care about : -

  • Personal Transformation
  • Wealth Creation
  • Winning Together
  • Our Values

    Our values are about how we do what we do. Values define the right thing to do. We hire, reward and sometimes have to let go based on our values.

    We have 5 core values : -

  • Go Above And Beyond
  • Making Things Happen
  • Say It Like It Is
  • Progress Over Perfection
  • Don’t Take Yourself Seriously, Take Your Work Seriously
  • Perks & Benefits

    Small things we’ve done to ensure we take care of our wellness, learning & keep things fun : -

  • Health Insurance - Health insurance cover and accident coverage for extra cushion and mental peace when rainy days hit us.
  • Quarterly Off-sites - Quarterly off-sites are a core part of the BiteSpeed culture. Our off-sites range from intense quarter planning sessions to crazy mafia nights and competitive cricket matches (with a lot of trash talking).
  • Cult Fitness Membership - All work and no play makes jack a dull boy. Cult Fit and Cult Play passes to make sure we hit the gym more often.
  • Personal Development - We sponsor courses, conference tickets, books on a case to case basis to ensure we’re constantly growing.
  • Salary In Advance - Trust first, by default. We pay out salaries in the first week of the month.
  • How to apply?
