Build Global Finance Teams from India Through a Specialist Finance Recruitment Firm

Hiring from India means recruiting finance talent based in India to support a business's domestic or global operations, typically through direct employment, a GCC entity or an Employer of Record structure.

Recruitment is charged as a percentage of the candidate's annual fixed compensation, payable once they join, with the percentage varying by seniority and search complexity. If you do not have an Indian entity, employment can be handled through our Employer of Record Services, priced separately as a fixed monthly fee per employee. If you already have an entity, we can process payroll instead. Recruitment, EOR and payroll are quoted separately, so you can see what each element costs. See Our Promise for how we work.

We assess how qualifications such as CA, CMA or Indian MBA programs map to the technical and leadership expectations of your home market, rather than assuming direct equivalence.

India's working hours typically offer several hours of overlap with both European and Middle East business hours, and a practical handover window with US time zones.

Yes. We support hiring across India's major finance talent hubs, including Bangalore, Mumbai, Pune, Gurgaon and Delhi NCR.

Notice periods in India are longer than in most Western markets. Junior finance roles typically serve 30 to 60 days; managers and controllers usually serve 60 to 90 days; senior leadership can run to 90 days or more. Buyouts are sometimes possible but are not guaranteed. Plan the start date around this rather than treating it as a negotiation point.

Most India-based finance searches close within 3-6 weeks, depending on seniority and how specialized the role is.

Not necessarily. Businesses without an Indian entity can hire through Employer of Record (EOR) services, which allow compliant employment without entity establishment. See Employer of Record Services for detail.

Yes. We support businesses at every stage, from the first India-based finance hire through to building out a full shared services or finance center of excellence team.

Common qualifications include Chartered Accountant (CA), CPA, CMA, CFA and MBA Finance, often combined with experience in global reporting standards such as IFRS or US GAAP.

Bengaluru and Mumbai have the deepest overall pools, Bengaluru for GCC, technology and startup finance, Mumbai for BFSI, capital markets and treasury. Gurgaon and Delhi NCR are strong for consulting-trained and multinational finance talent. Pune and Hyderabad have growing shared services and controllership pools, often at lower compensation than Bengaluru or Mumbai.

Employment contracts include confidentiality and intellectual property clauses, so anything the employee produces belongs to your business. Where employment runs through our Employer of Record Services, these protections sit in the contract we hold. Background verification covering identity, education, employment history and criminal record can be arranged through a specialist verification partner at cost.
