Job details:
Designation: Pod Owner (senior, team-lead-level role)
We define this role by what you will achieve, not by degrees or years. If you have done comparable work, we want to meet you — however you learned it.
The Mission:
This is a POD role: you own your clients end to end. Not a step in an assembly line — the whole engagement is yours: the close, the review, the client conversation — as the client's primary point of contact — and yes, the data entry when your pod needs it. Nothing is beneath the owner of the client. Accurate, US GAAP-compliant, on time, every time — with a story the client actually understands.
What You Will Achieve — Key Performance Objectives:
- Own your pod's clients — end to end. Take full ownership of 6–8 US clients: close, review, delivery, communication — and hands-on data entry whenever the pod needs it. Every close client ready by business day 10.
- Set the quality bar. Review and approve journal entries, bank reconciliations, and financial statements with a rework rate below 2% — measured, not assumed.
- Tell the story behind the numbers. Every monthly pack goes out with a plain-English narrative — what changed, why, and what to do about it — and you lead that client conversation. Within three months, your clients ask for you by name.
- Become the domain expert. Learn each client's industry deeply — its chart of accounts, KPIs, margins, and close rhythm (a dental practice ≠ SaaS ≠ construction). Be the pod's go-to authority on your clients' niches.
- Build your pod. Train and mentor 3–5 junior accountants so at least two can independently run a client close to your standard by month three.
- Make the close faster — with the platform. Push routine work to Praxa workflows and Celia, our AI assistant, so you handle exceptions and judgment; cut average close cycle time by 20% without losing accuracy.
- Zero missed compliance. Run the sales-tax and payroll-tax filing calendar with zero missed deadlines; give auditors and tax professionals clean, complete workpapers.
- Be the client's calm. Resolve client queries within one business day and keep month-end status visible — no surprises, no chasing.
What We Look For
- Education: CA / CPA / ACCA / CMA (qualified or CA Inter) — minimum requirement.
- Experience: typically, 4–8 years of US accounting, with strong US GAAP fundamentals.
- Tools: hands-on QuickBooks Online and/or Xero.
- Communication: excellent written and spoken English — you will lead US client conversations every week.
- Track record: a stable career history with progressive growth — success here looks like the eight objectives on page 1.
Why This Is a Career Move — Not a Job Change
- POD ownership, day one: your clients are yours — the numbers, the story, the relationship, and the team behind them. Not a seat in a processing queue.
- A visible path up: Pod Owner → Controller. Every Controller oversees multiple pods and manages US client firms end-to-end — and our next generation of Controllers is being built from this role.
- US GAAP depth + modern stack: QuickBooks, Xero, and our own Praxa platform with Celia, our AI assistant, doing the first pass — you focus on judgment, not data entry.
- Work your way: fully remote from anywhere in India, or from our Gurugram office — the role, the clients, and the career path are identical in both modes.
- Global exposure: work directly with US accounting firms across industries, on the calendar and rhythm of US practice
