The specialisations inside this hub

Chief Financial Officers, Group Controllers, Treasurers and the Specialist Finance Leadership around them. The Sub-Groups below separate the finance careers that are different jobs within Finance: planning the numbers, running the books, tax, audit, the quantitative disciplines, and leading a finance function across a region or the world.

234

F&A — Finance & Accounting

The books themselves — group, divisional and regional CFO seats carrying the close, financial reporting and control, controllership, and the shared-services and GCC finance hubs that now run them.

125

Finance Transformation

Rebuilding the function rather than running it — finance operating models, systems and process transformation, and the CFO seats appointed explicitly to change how finance works.

120

Regional & Global Finance Leadership

Heads of Finance and Finance Directors for a country, a region or the world — the seats that lead a finance function end to end and answer to a group CFO or a board.

105

IPO, Treasury & Capital Markets

Funding the balance sheet and facing the people who fund it — listing readiness, the equity story, investor relations, treasury, debt and liquidity.

104

M&A & Corporate Development

The deal and the year after it — corporate development, diligence, carve-outs and divestitures, and the acquisition-integration seats where the value is actually won or lost.

Taxation — Direct Tax, International Tax & Transfer Pricing

Group tax leadership — direct tax and compliance, international tax and transfer pricing, indirect tax, and the structuring work that sits behind a cross-border operating model.

FP&A — Financial Planning & Analysis

Planning, forecasting, budgeting and decision support — the seats that own the forward view of the numbers and the assumptions underneath it.

Regulatory, SOX & Internal Controls

Where an outside authority sets the standard: Sarbanes-Oxley and internal financial controls, and the regulator-committed remediation plans that follow a finding.

CA — Internal & Statutory Audit

Internal audit leadership and statutory audit — the chartered-accountant seats that examine the numbers rather than produce them, and the audit-committee-facing roles around them.

Quantitative Analysis — Leadership

Quantitative, model-risk, actuarial and analytics leadership in finance — the seats that build and govern the models a balance sheet depends on.

US GAAP & Global Reporting

Multi-standard reporting — US GAAP, IFRS and Ind AS in one group — and the technical accounting seats that carry the judgements underneath a consolidated set.

A mandate may sit in more than one specialisation, and frequently does — a finance chief running a carve-out is both an M&A seat and a controllership seat — so these counts sum to more than the hub. That is the corpus being honest rather than the arithmetic being wrong: filing each seat under exactly one discipline would mean choosing for the reader which half of the job matters.

What a free account opens, and what Foresight adds

Reading is free here, and that is not a trial — every one of these 1,142 briefs opens in full without paying. What a membership buys is the ability to act on them at volume, to reach the ones outside India, and to be found by them while you are working.

Counted against the 1,142 open finance & accounts mandates on this page — 514 in India, 628 elsewhere. Prices are annual and all-inclusive, with GST already inside the figure shown; quarterly terms exist at a smaller allowance. Nothing on this page is behind any of them.

Why these seats are open

of 1,142 are briefed as urgent — an incumbent already gone, or going

Every mandate on the Terminal is filed with the reason it exists, which is the column no job board carries. An urgent seat is filled in weeks and is lost to timing; a planned one is briefed quietly months ahead and is lost to invisibility. The two reward opposite behaviours, and neither rewards checking a page once a week.

Closing soonest

935 of these mandates carry a published deadline, and 0 of those fall inside the next fortnight.

Where these mandates are

514 sit in India and 628 elsewhere, across 53 countries. Markets with a page of their own are linked; the rest are counted here and reachable through the directory.

Who you would report to

Lines named on fewer than four mandates are not shown — the tail is long by design, because a real board writes the structure it has rather than choosing from a menu.

Nothing here was scraped. No row was lifted from another site, aggregated from a careers page or bought from a feed — which matters more than it sounds, because an aggregated corpus is how a candidate ends up applying to a seat that closed in March through a firm that never held the mandate. Every brief has a named person behind it who can answer a question about it.

What these seats pay

₹3.0 crore

median stated range, from 114 mandates that publish one

The Terminal takes pay from the mandates themselves — the ranges boards actually briefed, not a survey of what people say they earn. That makes the figures honest and it makes them uneven, and where the sample is too thin to support a median this page shows none. A pay figure derived from one or two seats is that seat wearing the authority of a statistic.

Reading costs nothing and always will. What a membership buys is the agent that watches while you work, the throughput to act on what it finds, and the right to pursue the seats outside India as well as read them.
