About the role

Stripe is a financial infrastructure platform for businesses, and the Bangalore Finance team is building its Accounting function to scale for the future. This role provides end-to-end controllership for assigned legal entities, covering financial close, statutory reporting, audits, regulatory filings, internal controls, and entity-level automation. The controller partners with Tax, Treasury, Legal, FP&A, and regional finance teams and mentors junior accounting teammates.

What you will do

  • End-to-end controllership for assigned legal entity(ies), including financial close, statutory reporting, audit readiness, regulatory filings, and adoption with the board or local management
  • Preparation and sign-off of statutory financial statements and coordination of statutory adoption processes with local boards and directors and external advisors
  • Manage external auditors and local service providers, setting scope, driving timelines, resolving findings, and maintaining high-quality documentation for audits, reviews, and regulatory inspections
  • Oversee monthly, quarterly, and year-end close, leading complex journal entries, reconciliations, technical accounting assessments, variance analysis, and executive reporting packages
  • Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of entity-level accounting policies and internal control frameworks, and own SOX and internal control compliance and remediation where applicable
  • Serve as the primary business partner to Tax, Treasury, Legal, FP&A, and regional finance teams on transactions and policy changes that affect the entity's accounting, tax, and regulatory outcomes
  • Identify, prioritize, and deliver process improvements and automation initiatives that materially increase accuracy, speed, or scalability of entity accounting (RPA, ERP configuration, reporting pipelines, templates, or tooling)
  • Resolve technical accounting questions and apply US GAAP, IFRS, and local GAAP judgment — escalate to central technical accounting teams when needed with well-formed recommendations
  • Provide coaching and mentorship to more junior accounting teammates, and lead cross-functional projects and working groups to improve operating models
  • Act as a subject-matter expert for entity-level reporting requests, internal and external audits, regulatory inquiries, and management escalations

What the employer is looking for

  • Professional accountancy qualification (CA, ACA, ACCA, CIMA, or equivalent) with 9+ years of progressive accounting experience, including significant controllership exposure
  • Deep hands-on experience with monthly and year-end close, statutory financial statement preparation, external audits, regulatory filings, and variance analysis
  • Strong working knowledge of US GAAP and IFRS, and experience applying local GAAP and converging treatments across frameworks
  • Demonstrated experience owning internal control programs (SOX or similar) and executing control design and remediation
  • Track record of delivering automation or process simplification at the entity level (ERP, reconciliation tooling, reporting pipeline improvements)
  • Strong technical and problem-solving skills, advanced Excel ability, and experience with financial systems (e.g., Oracle, Workiva, Blackline, or similar). Familiarity with SQL and BI tools or scripting is a plus.
  • Excellent stakeholder management — ability to partner with Tax, Treasury, Legal, FP&A, and regional teams to drive timely, risk-mitigated outcomes
  • High integrity, sound professional judgment, attention to detail, and the ability to operate under tight deadlines
  • Experience leading or mentoring junior finance professionals and managing external advisors or service providers
