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 data architecture that converts our financial inputs into reliable, decision-useful outputs.
We are seeking a mid-career professional who thinks in systems and builds in data. This is not an operational finance role, nor a traditional accounting engagement. It is a structured consulting engagement focused on designing and building scalable financial data systems for a growing organisation.
The Purpose Of This Engagement Is To
- Take raw financial inputs (bank statements, grant inflows, spending reports, payroll data) and architect a structured data system that produces clean, reliable outputs
- Build financial models and dashboards that leadership can use for strategic decisions
- Automate routine financial processes, reducing manual effort and error
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.
