About Circle
100 Million Indians. One Trusted C2C Platform.
Circle is building a C2C marketplace with a backbone of trust and convenience, and at its heart, something human and fun.
The secondary market in India has demand. What it lacks is accountability, verification, and seamless logistics. That is what we are building.
- AI-verified listings.
- Transparent pricing.
- Managed doorstep logistics.
- Trust built into every step.
About the Role
As the Finance & Compliance Manager at Circle, you will be responsible for managing the company’s day-to-day finance, accounting, compliance, and reporting requirements.
You will work closely with Circle’s founders, internal teams, and external finance, accounting, tax, and compliance partners to ensure that all financial information, filings, records, and reports are accurate, timely, and well-organized.
This role is ideal for someone who is strong with execution, documentation, follow-ups, and financial discipline. A key part of the role will be to take ownership of finance and compliance coordination so that the founder’s office is no longer required to manage these activities on a day-to-day basis.
This is a full-time, on-site role based in Bangalore.
Key Responsibilities
Finance Operations & Payments
- Manage day-to-day finance operations, including vendor payments, employee reimbursements, payroll coordination, and recurring finance requests.
- Own the vendor invoice lifecycle, including invoice collection, verification, approval coordination, payment processing, and documentation.
- Process and track payments to vendors, employees, consultants, logistics partners, and other external parties.
- Coordinate monthly payroll inputs, including salaries, reimbursements, deductions, joining and exit details, and statutory deductions where applicable.
- Monitor payables, receivables, reimbursements, payroll, and payment schedules through clean trackers.
Compliance, Tax & Filings
- Coordinate GST, TDS, PF, ESI, professional tax, and other statutory filings with external finance and compliance partners.
- Track compliance calendars and ensure deadlines for filings, payments, reconciliations, and documentation are met.
- Work with the external accounting team to ensure books of accounts are updated accurately and on time.
- Support GST reconciliation, TDS reconciliation, vendor reconciliation, input tax credit tracking, and other finance documentation.
- Ensure invoices, challans, returns, bank statements, payroll records, payment proofs, and working files are organized and audit-ready.
Reconciliations, MIS & Reporting
- Oversee reconciliations across orders, payment gateway settlements, refunds, logistics charges, vendor payouts, and internal finance records.
- Prepare and maintain regular MIS reports for founders and business teams.
- Support preparation of monthly P&L, balance sheet, cash flow summaries, and budget vs actual reports.
- Track cash flow visibility, including bank balances, upcoming payments, payroll obligations, statutory dues, expected inflows, and monthly burn.
- Identify gaps, inconsistencies, or unusual movements in financial data and flag them proactively.
Accounting & Month-End Closure
- Coordinate with the external accounting team to ensure books of accounts are updated accurately and on time.
- Share invoices, bank statements, payment details, vendor information, payroll inputs, expense records, and other required documents with the finance team.
- Review basic accounting entries, ledgers, vendor balances, customer balances, and expense classifications.
- Ensure expenses, revenue, refunds, discounts, logistics costs, payroll costs, and other financial items are classified correctly in coordination with the external accounting team.
- Support month-end closing activities and ensure all required inputs are provided in a timely manner.
- Track and resolve gaps in invoices, payment records, accounting entries, and supporting documentation.
Process, Controls & Documentation
- Build and maintain clear finance processes for invoices, payments, payroll, reimbursements, vendor onboarding, approvals, and documentation.
- Improve finance trackers, workflows, and controls across payments, payroll, reimbursements, reconciliations, reporting, and compliance.
- Support founders and teams with cost tracking, unit economics, budget variance analysis, and financial inputs needed for scale.
Who You Are
