Fortify Health is a nonprofit organisation working to reduce iron deficiency anaemia at scale by supporting wheat flour fortification across India.
As the organisation has grown in scale and complexity (multi-entity, multi-currency, multi-donor operations), we are entering a deliberate phase of financial systems strengthening. Our objective is not incremental improvement, but the design of a robust, accrual-based financial architecture that can support continued scale.
We are seeking a senior finance leader to support a defined set of finance transformation projects over a fixed-term engagement.
This is not an operational finance role. It is a structured, high-trust consulting engagement focused on designing and institutionalising scalable financial systems.
The Purpose Of This Engagement Is To
- Architect a coherent financial systems structure across entities
- Deepen and formalise accrual accounting practices
- Build integrated forward-looking financial models
- Strengthen financial reporting for leadership decision-making
- Institutionalise documentation to ensure durability beyond individual contributors
A detailed and sequenced project plan will be developed jointly at the start of the engagement. The examples below illustrate the level and nature of work anticipated.
