The Role

We're looking for an experienced, hands-on Director of Accounting to lead our India-based accounting operations and own accurate, compliant, and timely financial reporting across both our India and US entities. You'll manage a team of 4–5 in India, report directly to the CFO, and serve as a key finance partner to leadership, external advisors, and global teams.

This is an end-to-end ownership role spanning accounting operations, US GAAP compliance, audits, tax, payroll, and internal controls — ideal for someone with strong SaaS experience who thrives operating across a fast-scaling, multi-entity environment.

What You'll Own

Accounting Policy & Financial Reporting

• Maintain accurate books for both US and India entities under US GAAP

• Build and own the accounting policy framework, including SaaS revenue recognition, COGS, and Opex

• Prepare monthly/quarterly reporting packs: cash analysis, collections, billings, and P&L variance

• Administer GTM commission plans — execution, tracking, and timely payouts

• Oversee AP/AR, including vendor management and cash flow planning

• Ensure accurate, timely payroll processing in both India and the US

Compliance & Audit

• Own all India-based statutory compliance (ROC filings, GST, TDS, etc.)

• Manage external audits for both India and US entities

• Oversee US and India tax filings alongside external tax advisors

• Coordinate transfer pricing documentation and banking relationships for cross-border intercompany transfers

Systems & Tools

• Own the NetSuite-based financial close process, including bank and credit card reconciliations

• Develop and enforce expense reimbursement policy; oversee travel and expense tooling

Equity & Valuation

• Maintain the cap table (Carta, Excel, or similar)

• Support 409A and private company valuation processes with external partners

Team Leadership

• Manage and develop a 4–5 person India-based accounting team

• Partner closely with the CFO and FP&A on financial strategy, controls, and reporting

• Maintain regular collaboration with US counterparts, with 1–2 hours of overlap across both India AM and PM windows

Growth & Ownership Mindset

• Growth mindset with strong problem-solving and critical thinking abilities

• Willingness to learn and grow and contribute to personal and company success

• A builder's mindset — someone who creates “options” rather than getting stuck in problems, and who can turn ad hoc processes into scalable, repeatable ones

What You Bring

• 10+ years of progressive accounting experience, including 3–5 years in a leadership role

• Strong command of SaaS revenue recognition under ASC 606

• Deep knowledge of US GAAP and India statutory accounting

• Experience managing multi-country operations, including India and US payroll, compliance, and tax

• Required: hands-on NetSuite experience

• Nice to have: familiarity with Carta and expense platforms (Navan, Brex, etc.)

• Track record managing audits, tax filings, and transfer pricing arrangements

• CA/CPA or equivalent preferred

Why Logile

This is a rare opportunity to build and scale accounting operations from the ground up, with a direct line to the CFO and real strategic input at a high-growth company with global reach. You'll join a collaborative, mission-driven team where your work has visible, immediate impact.
