About Soul Forest
We are a business that transforms barren lands into biodiverse forests through an 80:20 model—80% nature reserve, 20% eco-sensitive living, wellness, and livelihoods. Our 200-acre pilot in Veltoor, Telangana is a living lab of restoration and regeneration. Founded by Earthshot Prize-winning climate entrepreneurs, Soul Forest aims to scale this model to 100,000 acres globally in the next decade.
What You’ll Do
As AVP Finance, you’ll lead our financial operations and strategy, ensuring every rupee supports our mission to restore bioregions. You’ll work with our core team, customers, and partners to keep things running smoothly. Here’s what your days will look like:
1. Prepare Financial Reports:
Oversee monthly, quarterly, and yearly financial statements for all our entities (e.g., farms, businesses).
Ensure reports are accurate, audited if needed, and ready on time for team reviews.
Create clear summaries to help leaders understand our financial health.
2. Manage Budgets & Forecasts:
Build and track budgets for each quarter and year, covering farms, eco-tourism, and more.
Create simple financial models to predict revenue from customers (e.g., wellness retreats or housing sales).
Adjust plans if costs or income shift, keeping us on track.
3. Keep Cash Flowing:
Monitor cash daily to cover expenses like farm supplies or staff salaries.
Plan ahead to avoid shortages, especially during big projects like new eco-tourism launches.
Work with teams to prioritize spending for maximum impact.
4. Strengthen Financial Systems:
Set up clear rules to prevent errors, like double-checking payments or tracking expenses.
Create monthly reports (MIS) to show trends, like which businesses are growing fastest.
Simplify processes, such as combining accounts for our farms and ventures into one system.
5. Oversee Partnerships:
Handle finances for joint projects, like a new wellness center with a partner company.
Keep records clean and share updates with partners to build trust.
Ensure all agreements meet legal and tax rules.
6. Ensure Customer Compliance:
Manage contracts and payments for customers, like eco-tourism bookings or housing buyers.
Keep documents (e.g., invoices, receipts) organized and compliant with regulations.
Solve any billing issues quickly to keep customers happy.
7. Work with External Teams:
Build relationships with bankers, auditors, and consultants to support our work.
Meet with them regularly to review accounts, secure loans, or fix tax issues.
Negotiate terms, like better rates for banking services, to save money.
8. Lead & Innovate:
Guide a small finance team, assign tasks, and help them grow.
Find smarter ways to work, like using software to automate expense tracking.
Suggest ideas to boost revenue, like pricing strategies for eco-tourism packages.
What You Need

2. Experience: At least 5 years in finance post CA completion, including budgeting, cash flow, financial reporting, and compliance.
3. Skills:
Expert at analyzing numbers and spotting trends.
Strong with finance software, ERP systems (e.g., Tally, SAP), and advanced Excel.
Clear communicator, able to explain complex ideas to non-finance folks.
Organized and calm under pressure, even with tight deadlines.
4. Mindset:
Creative problem-solver who loves finding better ways to do things.
Leader who inspires a team and builds trust with partners.
Passionate about nature and aligning money with meaning.
5. Attention to Detail: Zero tolerance for sloppy work—accuracy is everything.

If you want a predictable, slow-paced job, this isn’t it.
If you’re not comfortable leading a team or handling multiple responsibilities.
If you don’t care about nature or working for a cause.
If messy details or tight deadlines stress you out.
