Career Opportunities at NEXG2EN

CFO Partner — Manufacturing | Pune

The Role

We are looking for a senior finance leader with deep manufacturing experience to join us as a CFO Partner in Pune. You will own a portfolio of manufacturing clients, act as their CFO, and translate financial insight into decisions that move the business — margin, cash, capacity and growth.

This is a client-facing leadership role. You will be the person a promoter or CEO calls before making the call.

What you will do

Serve as the fractional CFO for a portfolio of manufacturing clients
Build the financial architecture: costing systems, product and plant-level profitability, contribution analysis, budgeting and rolling forecasts
Drive working capital performance across inventory, receivables and vendor terms; improve the cash conversion cycle
Evaluate capex, capacity expansion, make-vs-buy and pricing decisions with defensible financial models
Establish MIS and management reporting that leadership actually uses, and strengthen internal controls and governance
Support fundraising, banking relationships, due diligence and board reporting
Lead and mentor the delivery team supporting your accounts, and maintain quality across engagements
Contribute to practice growth — client relationships, referrals and thought leadership in the manufacturing segment

What we are looking for

CA, CMA or MBA (Finance), with 15+ years of progressive finance experience
Substantial time spent in manufacturing — plant finance, cost accounting and supply chain finance are second nature to you
Prior CFO, Finance Head or Financial Controller experience in a manufacturing business is preferred but not mandatory
Strong command of Indian GAAP / Ind AS, direct and indirect tax, GST and customs as they apply to manufacturing operations
Hands-on with ERP environments (SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics or comparable) and comfortable with modern finance tooling and automation
Able to move between the shop floor and the boardroom — credible with plant heads and promoters alike
Consultative by temperament: you enjoy solving for several businesses at once rather than one

Why join us

Work with a diverse portfolio of manufacturing businesses across India and international markets, rather than a single P&L
A senior, autonomous role — you own the client relationship and the advice, not a slice of someone else’s workflow
A firm built on senior expertise, backed by structured delivery teams, technology and process
An engagement model designed around experienced professionals who want scope and flexibility rather than a conventional employment structure. We will discuss specifics with shortlisted candidates.

Location:

Pune (with client travel as required)
