Finance Controller
BondScanner | Sustvest Broking Pvt. Ltd.
Location: Bangalore (in-office)
Reports to: Co-Founder & CEO
Experience: 8–10 years; CA qualified (mandatory)
Scope: Controllership + asset-liability / treasury management for the BondScanner entity
Team: Builds and leads a small finance function
About BondScanner
BondScanner is India's retail-native bond platform — operated by Sustvest Broking Pvt. Ltd., a SEBI-
registered Online Bond Platform Provider (OBPP). We give retail Indian investors zero-brokerage
access to listed corporate bonds and government securities. Built on rails proven by our predecessor
platform Tap Invest, which served HNI investors at meaningful scale, BondScanner is the retail
expansion of that thesis — and one of the fastest-growing platforms in India's bond market. We're
backed by leading fintech founders and institutional investors, and we're scaling fast.
Why this role matters
As a SEBI-registered stockbroker, BondScanner runs on a foundation of trust — client funds
segregation, daily reconciliation, and clean books are not back-office hygiene, they are the licence to
operate. You will own the finance function end-to-end for the entity: the books, the regulatory filings, the
audits, the client-funds discipline, and the liquidity and capital management that keep us compliant and
investor-ready as we scale. This is a build-and-own role reporting directly to the CEO, with a clear path
to Head of Finance as the business grows.
What you'll own
1. Controllership
• Books of accounts and IndAS-compliant financial statements for Sustvest Broking — accurate,
timely, and audit-ready.
• Statutory and tax audits, internal audits, and SEBI / exchange inspections — owning
preparation, response, and remediation end-to-end.
• All statutory and regulatory filings: SEBI half-yearly net worth certificates, NSE/BSE stockbroker
compliance returns, GST, TDS, advance tax, and MCA filings.
• Monthly MIS and management reporting for the founders and board, with a clean, reconciled
view of revenue, costs, and profitability.
2. Client funds & settlement discipline
• Daily and weekly reconciliation of client funds across pool and settlement accounts, ensuring
complete segregation from the firm's own funds.
• Ownership of the upstreaming of client funds to the clearing corporation and the weekly
settlement / running-account settlement obligations under SEBI rules.
• Settlement reconciliations with exchanges and clearing corporations, and OBPP-specific
reporting under the SEBI Master Circular for Stock Brokers.
• Zero tolerance for client-funds shortfalls — you treat the weekly settlement report as a hard,
penalty-bearing deadline, not an accounting nicety.
3. Asset-liability & treasury management
• Manage the entity's liquidity — ensuring funds are available to meet settlement obligations on
time, every cycle.
• Maintain net worth and regulatory capital comfortably above SEBI minimums; model capital
requirements as transaction volumes scale.
• Own day-to-day cash management, bank relationships, and the firm's own treasury (distinct
from client funds).
• Build the liquidity and capital dashboards the founders need to monitor the entity's financial
health in real time.
4. Audit, fundraise & team
• Lead financial diligence support for fundraising rounds — data room, MIS packs, investor Q&A,
and audit coordination.
• Build and maintain a clean, audit-ready data room from day one, so every round and inspection
finds the books in order.
• Hire, lead, and develop a small finance team across accounts, treasury, and compliance
operations.
• Choose and scale the finance stack — ERP, reconciliation, and regulatory reporting tools —
that supports the next phase of growth.
Who you are
Must-have
• CA qualified (Chartered Accountant) — mandatory.
• 8–10 years of post-qualification experience, with meaningful time in a regulated financial
services entity — stockbroker, NBFC, bank, asset manager, or large fintech.
• Hands-on experience with controllership: books, statutory audits, regulatory filings, and board-
level financial reporting.
• Strong understanding of client funds handling, reconciliation, and settlement — or the ability to
ramp on it quickly from an adjacent regulated background.
• Strong IndAS, GST, and direct tax fundamentals.
• Proven ability to build process and lead a small team.
Strongly preferred
• Direct experience in a SEBI-registered stockbroker or OBPP, with familiarity with the Master
Circular for Stock Brokers.
• Experience handling SEBI / exchange inspections first-hand.
• Exposure to a fundraise on the finance side — diligence, data room, investor MIS.
• Familiarity with bond / fixed-income market mechanics — settlement, CCIL, NSDL/CDSL flows.
How you operate
• You're paranoid about reconciliations. A 1% mismatch keeps you up; a 0.01% mismatch makes
you find the bug.
• You're as comfortable in a regulator's office as in a founder offsite, and you can switch registers
without changing the truth.
• You take ownership without being asked. If something's broken in finance, it's yours to fix.
• You think in systems, not tickets — you'd rather fix the root cause once than patch the symptom
monthly.
What we offer
• Competitive compensation benchmarked to senior fintech roles in Bangalore, with meaningful
ESOPs.
• A direct line to the CEO and a seat at the table as we scale and raise.
• The chance to build a finance function from the ground up at one of India's fastest-growing bond
platforms.
• A clear path to Head of Finance as the business grows.
