About Qube:

Qube is a high-growth, transformation-driven company experiencing rapid expansion through aggressive M&A activity. Having completed 4 major acquisitions in just 15 months, Qube is evolving into a diversified, multi-vertical business powerhouse.

This isn't a traditional corporate environment—it's a dynamic organization in the midst of deep transformation, integration, and strategic repositioning. Qube operates with urgency and ambition, creating an environment where finance professionals don't just crunch numbers—they shape business strategy, drive integration, and directly influence executive decisions.

Key Responsibilities:

   • Conduct working capital analysis, and post-deal integration planning.
3. Integration of Acquired Entities
   • Drive integration of finance processes, systems, and controls.
   • Identify hidden risks and value drivers during onboarding of new businesses.
4. Transformation Projects
   • Own critical transformation initiatives—automation, cost optimization, and strategic financial redesigns across departments.
   • Evaluate and implement cross-functional efficiency tools in finance and operations.
5. Board & Investor Reporting
   • Prepare concise, strategic dashboards for board and investor meetings.
   • Convert data into stories and insights that guide executive decisions.
6. Out-of-the-Box Finance Leadership
   • Evaluate new business models, pricing strategies, and cross-border structuring.
   • Take on short sprints for high-value, ambiguous business problems (e.g., JV structuring, spin-offs, financial turnaround plans).
7. Monthly MIS Reporting
   • Prepare and present monthly Management Information System (MIS) reports, including P&L, Balance Sheet, Cash Flow, and operational KPIs.
   • Analyze variances between actuals and budgets, providing explanations and recommendations.
   • Coordinate with various departments (Sales, Commercials, IT) to gather data for MIS consolidation.
   • Provide actionable insights to management based on trends and performance metrics.
8. Financial Reporting & Compliance
   • Assist in the preparation of quarterly and annual financial statements in line with applicable accounting standards.
   • Maintain compliance with all statutory and regulatory requirements.
9. Budgeting & Forecasting Support
   • Assist in preparing the company’s annual budget and periodic reforecasts.
   • Track budget performance and provide variance analysis and commentary.

What We’re Looking For:

• CA Qualified, with ~ 0 to 2 year of post-qualification experience in a dynamic, high-growth environment (Big 4/transaction advisory/start-up/PE-backed company experience a plus).
• Proven exposure to valuation, due diligence, or strategic finance—even if in shadow roles.
• Highly analytical with exceptional Excel and modelling skills; experience with Power BI or similar tools a bonus.
• Strong business curiosity—you want to understand how the whole company works.

What You’ll Get:

• A Front-Row Seat to Growth: Work alongside top leadership in a company going through high-impact change.
• Cross-Functional Exposure: You'll be trusted with projects that span finance, operations, strategy, and technology.
