Chief Financial Officer

Finance

The CFO of a listed or large unlisted Indian company is the board-facing steward of the organisation's financial credibility — responsible for Ind AS-compliant financial statements, SEBI LODR filings, CRISIL / ICRA credit-rating dialogue, investor-relations calls, M&A diligence, and capital allocation decisions at ₹500-Cr to ₹50,000-Cr scale. At TCS, Infosys, RIL, HUL, ITC, Tata Steel, Wipro, and Adani Group companies, the CFO co-signs every quarterly result press release, presents to the Audit Committee and the Board, and fields questions from sell-side analysts on earnings calls. The role differs from a startup CFO (who is primarily focused on runway management and fund-raise mechanics): at an established listed company the work is fiduciary governance, capital structure optimisation, regulatory stewardship, and long-cycle M&A — executed through 50-200 person finance organisations.
