Job Description: Chief Financial Officer (CFO)

Location: Chennai, India

About Archimedis Digital

Archimedis Digital is a global IT services and products company dedicated exclusively to the

Life Sciences industry. We combine our deep domain expertise and cutting-edge technology

skills to catalyze digital transformation for our clients.

As a boot-strapped, profitable, and rapidly growing organization with a presence in India, the

USA, and expanding footprints in Europe and LATAM, we are a "people-first" company driven

by curiosity, clarity, and consistency.

The Role

We are looking for a strategic and hands-on Chief Financial Officer (CFO) to partner with

our CEO and leadership team. As we scale from a successful mid-sized specialized firm to a

global digital leader, the CFO will play a critical role in financial strategy, accounting, corporate

governance, global compliance, and operational excellence.

This is not a traditional back-office finance role. You will be a business co-pilot, driving financial

modeling for new SaaS products, managing multi-geography P&Ls (India, US, Europe,

LATAM), and preparing the organization for its next phase of exponential growth.

Key Responsibilities

1. Strategic Leadership & Business Partnering

• Act as a strategic advisor to the CEO, providing financial insights that drive business

decisions, pricing strategies for IT services/SaaS products, and growth plans.

• Lead financial planning and analysis (FP&A), including forecasting, budgeting, and

long-term scenario planning.

• Evaluate and advise on the financial impact of long-range planning, introduction of new

programs/strategies, and regulatory actions.

2. Global Financial Operations & Compliance

• Oversee the financial operations of the Indian and international entities (USA, Europe,

LATAM), ensuring compliance with local laws, tax regulations, and transfer pricing

norms.

• Manage cash flow, treasury, and currency risk (Forex management) effectively across

multiple currencies.

• Ensure timely and accurate financial reporting (monthly, quarterly, annual) in

accordance with Indian GAAP/Ind AS and relevant international standards.

3. Growth & Capital Strategy

• As an unfunded, profitable entity, optimize working capital to fuel organic growth.

• Prepare the company for potential future investment rounds, M&A activities, or

strategic partnerships by maintaining rigorous financial discipline and data room

readiness.

• Analyze revenue streams (Services vs. Product/IP) to maximize profitability and

margins.

4. Governance, Risk & Systems

• Strengthen internal controls, financial processes, and risk management frameworks

suited for a highly regulated industry (Life Sciences).

• Oversee the implementation and optimization of IT systems/ERPs to automate

processes and improve data accuracy.

Qualifications

• Education: Chartered Accountant (CA) or MBA in Finance from a premier institute.

CPA/CMA is a plus.

• Experience: 12+ years of progressive financial leadership experience, with at least

3-5 years in a Head of Finance or CFO role.

• Industry Background: Proven experience in the IT Services, SaaS, or Technology

sectors is mandatory.

• Global Exposure: Strong experience managing financial operations for a company

with US/International subsidiaries, including knowledge of transfer pricing, FEMA,

and cross-border taxation.

Key Skills:

o Experience scaling a bootstrapped or Series A-stage company.

o Strong grasp of revenue recognition for both Service (Time & Material/Fixed

Bid) and SaaS (Subscription) models.

o Exceptional communication skills.

Why Join Archimedis Digital?

• Impact: Be part of a unique company that combines deep Life Sciences domain

knowledge with top-tier tech talent to save lives through digital efficiency.

• Culture: A flat, transparent, and values-driven environment where "Integrity" and

"Competence" are rewarded.

• Growth: Opportunity to define the financial DNA of a company poised for significant

global expansion.
