About Nirvaaha Consulting
Nirvaaha Consulting is a Chennai-headquartered firm working with startups, growth businesses and established enterprises across Deal Advisory, Valuations, Due Diligence, Value Creation Advisory, Secretarial Services and Fractional CFO services.
Because we sit alongside a deal practice, our secretarial work isn't limited to routine annual filings — a significant part of it is transaction compliance: the filings and approvals that sit behind fundraises, share issuances and restructurings.
About the role
As an Associate – Secretarial Services, you'll handle corporate compliance for a portfolio of companies and LLPs — from incorporation through to ongoing filings and transaction support.
If you're a CS or CA semi-qualified candidate who wants exposure to live transaction work rather than routine filings alone, this role offers that.
Key responsibilities
Corporate compliance
- Manage end-to-end compliance under the Companies Act, 2013 for a portfolio of clients
- Handle LLP Act compliance and annual filings
- Prepare and file ROC forms — AOC-4, MGT-7, DIR-3 KYC, ADT-1, and related returns
- Draft notices, agendas, minutes and resolutions for board meetings, committee meetings and general meetings
- Maintain statutory registers and records
- Track compliance calendars and ensure deadlines are met across all client entities
Incorporations and set-up
- Handle incorporation of companies, LLPs and other entity structures (SPICe+, FiLLiP)
- Manage DSC, DIN, PAN, TAN and related registrations
- Draft MOA, AOA and LLP agreements
- Advise clients on entity structure options at the set-up stage
Transaction compliance
- Support share issuances and transfers — private placements, rights issues, bonus issues, preferential allotments
- Prepare and file transaction-related forms: PAS-3, MGT-14, SH-7, and related returns
- Support FEMA and RBI compliance for foreign investment — FC-GPR, FC-TRS filings
- Assist on charge creation, modification and satisfaction (CHG-1, CHG-4)
- Support corporate restructuring, ESOP implementation and shareholder agreement compliance
- Work alongside the deal advisory team on the compliance workstream of live transactions
Client management
- Act as a day-to-day point of contact for client compliance queries
- Prepare compliance status reports and flag risks proactively
- Coordinate with legal counsel, auditors and regulatory authorities
What we're looking for
Essential
- CS (Executive/Professional) semi-qualified or CA (Inter) semi-qualified
- 1–3 years of experience in secretarial and corporate compliance work — articleship or CS training counts
- Working knowledge of the Companies Act, 2013 and the LLP Act, 2008
- Hands-on experience with MCA / V3 portal filings and ROC procedures
- Strong drafting skills — minutes, resolutions, notices
- Attention to detail and a genuine instinct for deadlines; compliance work is unforgiving of slippage
- Ability to manage multiple client entities and compliance calendars simultaneously
Preferred
- Exposure to FEMA / RBI filings (FC-GPR, FC-TRS)
- Experience supporting fundraising or M&A transactions from the compliance side
- Familiarity with SEBI regulations
- Experience with ESOP scheme implementation
- Exposure to startups and promoter-led businesses
What we offer
- Transaction exposure — compliance work on live fundraises and deals, not just annual filings
- Direct interaction with founders, promoters and legal counsel
- Learning across the wider practice — deal advisory, valuations, diligence
- Competitive compensation with performance-linked incentives, and a clear path to Senior Associate
