• Ensure efficient utilization of funds across verticals

Profitability & Unit Economics

• Identify cost leakages and margin improvement opportunities
• Support pricing, cost optimization, and operational efficiency initiatives

MIS & Reporting

• Build and strengthen MIS and performance reporting systems
• Deliver timely, accurate financial reports and dashboards for leadership
• Monitor KPIs and financial performance across locations

Expansion, Capex & Growth Support

• Support expansion plans including new locations, banquets, and formats
• Evaluate capex proposals, lease viability, ROI, and payback periods
• Assist leadership in growth-related financial decisions

Banking, Investors & Compliance

• Support investor interactions and fundraising activities as required

• Prior experience in Hospitality, QSR, Retail, or multi-location consumer businesses preferred
• Strong expertise in cash flow management, business finance, MIS, and operational finance
• Exposure to growth-stage or investor-backed companies is an advantage
• CA / MBA (Finance) preferred, but not mandatory for the right candidate

Key Requirement

We are looking for a business-oriented CFO who can act as a true partner to leadership on growth, profitability, and expansion. This role is best suited for someone practical, hands-on, and commercially minded, rather than a compliance-only finance professional. A sensible, execution-focused approach is valued more than formal qualifications alone.
