Chief Finance & Accounts Officer

We are looking for a Chief Financial and Administrative Officer (STRICTLY FROM MANUFACTURING OR EDUCATION INDUSTRY), who is hands-on, accountable, and deeply rooted in operational finance.

The ideal candidate is a seasoned Chartered Accountant (CA) who has progressed through ground-level finance roles and is now ready to anchor the university’s financial and administrative functions with a small, focused team of no more than 6–8 members. This role demands someone who is directly involved in transactions, ensures controls are tight, compliance is maintained, and decisions are backed by clear financial insight.
