01 — The role
Why this role exists at EduRankAI
A self-funded company survives on financial truth. You will own day-to-day finance and corporate compliance: clean books, on-time filings, payroll people can rely on, and controls that make audits boring — across a group with education, sports, and consumer ventures.

What you will own
- 01 Own bookkeeping, monthly closes, and management reporting.
- 02 Ensure statutory compliance: GST, TDS, ROC filings, labour registrations.
- 03 Run payroll and vendor payments accurately and on time.
- 04 Build internal controls and documentation; prepare for audits.
- 05 Support budgeting and cash-flow planning for a bootstrapped group.
03 — The expertise
What we look for
