About the Role

We're looking for a hands-on Finance Manager to take full ownership of the finance function at Disseqt AI. This is a high-impact role for someone who wants to work directly with the Founders and leadership team on strategic financial decisions, while also managing the day-to-day rigor of compliance, reporting, and controllership across multiple geographies and entities, including our UK-based subsidiary.

What You'll Own

Financial Management & Accounting

• Drive the annual budget and rolling forecasts, tracking actuals vs. plan and flagging variances before they become surprises.
• Build the financial models that power our growth: revenue, burn, and runway across SKUs (Managed SaaS, Enterprise Deployment) and GTM partners. Own unit economics (CAC, ARR/SKU, contract margins) end to end.
• Model deal economics on GSI-led contracts and POC-to-conversion revenue; build scenario models (best/base/worst) that fuel real planning and fundraise conversations.
• Keep the books clean: bookkeeping, reconciliations, reporting, and lead the accounts team and auditors who make it happen.
• Own compliance across India, Ireland, and UK entities (GST, TDS, ROC, VAT and beyond); weigh in on entity structuring and transfer pricing as we scale globally.

Budgeting & Financial Planning

• Turn forecasts, cash flow, and P&L into decisions the founders can act on.
• Find cost efficiencies and tighten financial operations as we grow fast.
• Be a key player in fundraising, diligence, and investor reporting, and a trusted voice on scalability and expansion strategy.

Tax & Compliance

• Tax planning to optimize liabilities across borders.
• Build the financial guardrails that keep us moving fast without breaking things.

Reporting & Governance

• Own the monthly Investor MIS: make it sharp, accurate, on time.
• Team up with auditors and legal to keep governance rock-solid.

International Transactions

• Run cross-border payments and intercompany transactions like clockwork, with clean forex handling (conversion, hedging, gains/losses).
• Stay ahead of FEMA, FDI/ODI, EDPMS/IDPMS, and LRS regulations, plus transfer pricing, DTAA, and withholding tax.
• Be the go-to person banks and legal counsel call for smooth international money movement, and the radar for new-market regulatory shifts.

Audit Ownership

• Be THE point person for every audit (statutory, tax, internal) across every entity and geography.
• Keep us audit-ready 365 days a year, not just crunch week.
• Build real relationships with auditors and regulators across India, US, Ireland, and UK, and get ahead of issues before they're issues.

What You'll Get

• Full ownership of the finance function, no red tape.
• Direct line to the Founders on the calls that matter.
• A front-row seat building the finance backbone of a high-growth AI startup.

About Disseqt AI

Disseqt is the Assurance Layer for Enterprise AI Operations. One platform covers the full deployment lifecycle: pre-production testing, runtime policy enforcement, continuous post-deployment monitoring and compliance reporting.

AI agents are non-deterministic. They hallucinate. They produce unexpected outputs. They behave differently in production than in any test environment. They drift. They degrade. Enterprises deploying AI agents at scale have limited visibility into what those systems are doing after go-live. Legacy GRC tools were built for predictable software and cannot monitor what changes continuously.

Disseqt closes that gap. With regulations like the EU AI Act and ISO 42001 now mandating full lifecycle AI governance, enterprises using Disseqt are winning regulated deals, faster and with less risk.
