Senior Associate - Finance

Hey — I'm Rishabh, co-founder & COO at Flent. I lead tech, platform, and cashflow here.

Now you might wonder — why is a COO running tech & platform And if you dig a little deeper, you'll see I've been a product manager most of my career. So then why am I building a real estate company Fair questions.

The truth is — Flent's a bit of an anomaly. Titles don't mean much. Backgrounds, even less. We go where curiosity takes us. And mine led me to own finance.

At a company like Flent, financial leverage is what makes or breaks momentum. It's also what turns the impossible, possible — because great homes do come at a cost. Cash moves fast here — from tenants to landlords, furniture vendors to society associations. Amongst a million debits and credits, a great cashflow management system is our bloodstream.

I believe Finance isn't just about keeping the books clean ; it's about making every rupee pull its weight. With cash moving in and out constantly, there's a real opportunity to build a powerful flywheel. Collect a little earlier, pay a little later, manage your float better — and you create space to grow without always needing more capital. That's the kind of financial thinking we value.

Finance, in our world, is a growth lever — and this team is expected to squeeze every drop of leverage from every transaction.

About The Role

As the first Finance hires at Flent, you will be helping build the financial foundation of a company. This role requires someone who can handle ambiguity, move fast, and isn't afraid to get their hands dirty with operational details while keeping an eye on strategic opportunities.

Flent doesn't merely manage homes, we are keepers of trust and transparency for real estate. Our working capital and cashflow game is intense. There are a lot of moving parts, money flowing in multiple directions, and decisions that need to happen fast. We need someone who thrives in this environment and sees opportunity where others see chaos.

This isn't a 'sit in the corner and crunch numbers' role. You'll be building our finance function from the ground up, working directly with leadership on strategy, and ensuring every rupee flowing through Flent is tracked, optimized, and working for us. End of the day, you would just not be managing money, you would be managing trust - of our landlords, our tenants and our investors.
