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.
