Mira AI

Every CV, read against the stack you named.

Engineering applications are the easiest to inflate and the slowest to read. You write the scorecard once, and every application is scored the moment it arrives, so your shortlist stays current without anyone opening a CV.

Scoring as applications arrive

Scored against your criteria, with the reasoning attached.

Every application is scored against the languages, frameworks, seniority and system scale you named, not against a generic model of a good engineer. Each score arrives with the sentences that produced it, so you can overrule it on the spot.

  • Ranked against named languages, frameworks and system scale
  • Reasoning shown on every score, including the low ones
  • Flags seniority claims that do not match the scope you wrote
  • Re-scores as new applications arrive
Mira AI's highlights overview for an applicant, showing a match score alongside applied date, stage, experience, current company, location and notice period.
Finance & Accounting roles

Start from what you are building.

Finance and accounting roles grouped by the job in front of you rather than by job title. Any role you do not see here can still be opened the same way.

You need your books kept clean

Accuracy and consistency are the whole job. Hire for someone who has owned a set of books, not just entered transactions into one.

  • Bookkeepers
  • Accounting Clerks
  • Reconciliation Specialists

You are closing the month and reporting

Match the standard you report under. Someone who has run the close under your GAAP moves faster than a stronger generalist.

  • Accountants
  • Staff Accountants
  • Controllers
  • Reporting Analysts

You need invoices and cash flow handled

AP and AR keep the cash moving. Look for people who have chased real collections and cleared real backlogs, not just processed clean invoices.

  • AP Specialists
  • AR Specialists
  • Billing Specialists
  • Collections Analysts

You are running payroll

Payroll is exacting and time-bound. Hire for people who have owned a payroll cycle and the compliance that comes with it.

  • Payroll Specialists
  • Payroll Managers

You need tax handled

Tax rewards current, specific knowledge. Match the jurisdictions and returns you actually file rather than a general tax background.

  • Tax Accountants
  • Tax Preparers
  • Tax Analysts

You need forecasts and financial planning

FP&A is judgement on top of modelling. Look for people who have built the model and defended the number to leadership.

  • Financial Analysts
  • FP&A Analysts
  • FP&A Managers
  • Finance Business Partners
Seniority

Titles inflate. Scope does not.

Writing the scope into the scorecard filters harder than writing a job title into the ad.

Junior

0 to 2 years

Processes transactions and reconciliations to a set process. Needs review and sign-off.

Mid-level

3 to 5 years

Owns a ledger area or the close for an entity. The deepest band in India and the fastest to fill.

Senior

6 to 9 years

Owns the close, reporting or FP&A, sets process and controls. Notice is usually 60 to 90 days.

Lead / Staff

10 years and up

Owns finance across the organisation. A much smaller pool, and titles inflate here, so scope matters more than the label.

Why Mira AI

AI screening that leaves the decision with you.

It never rejects anyone

Nobody leaves your pipeline because of a score. The one exception is auto-reject for candidates who stop responding, and you switch that on yourself.

It never hides its reasoning

Every score carries the sentences behind it. A number you cannot interrogate is not a decision you can defend to your engineering lead.

It is never the only reader

Move to recruiter-assisted and a technical recruiter in India reviews the shortlist and speaks to everyone you interview.

Keep your own ATS

Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them, or run the whole process here. Both are supported and neither locks you in.

Bring your own applicants

Candidates from your careers page, a GitHub referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.

Employment stays your choice

Employ the engineer on your own Indian entity, or ask us to be the legal employer if you have none. That is decided at offer stage.

Pricing

Start with the tool. Add reach. Add people.

Every plan includes Mira. What changes is how far your roles travel and how much of the work you hand over.

Base

Free forever

For a team running its own hiring and tired of doing it in spreadsheets.

  • Full pipeline and candidate tracking
  • Your own hosted careers page
  • Mira in Slack, with monthly credits
  • Unlimited open roles

Bespoke

Contingent on a joined hire

Some roles need a person on the phone. Our recruiters take over sourcing and interview coordination, working the pipeline Mira has already built — so you're paying for judgment and conversations, not for admin.

Contingent fee of 10%, 12.5% or 15% of first-year salary, set by role seniority. Under a talent agreement, billed only on a joined hire.

FAQs

Frequently asked questions

Everything finance leads and founders ask before they post a first finance or accounting role.

How do I hire accountants and finance staff in India?

Open the role with the function, accounting standard, tools, seniority and timezone overlap you need. Mira AI drafts the job description and scorecard, the role reaches our candidate community, and every application is scored against your scorecard as it arrives. You review the ranked shortlist, and when you are ready to offer, Wisemonk employs the person on your behalf so you do not need an Indian entity.

Which finance and accounting roles can I hire in India?

Any of them. Bookkeeping, accounts payable and receivable, accounting and reporting, payroll, tax preparation, financial analysis and FP&A, and controller-level roles are the areas we hire for most. Roles outside those, from treasury to internal audit and revenue operations, can be opened the same way; the scorecard is built from your brief, not from a fixed list.

How much does it cost to hire an accountant, bookkeeper or financial analyst in India?

It depends on seniority, the function and the city. A qualified accountant running your close under US GAAP is benchmarked very differently from a bookkeeper on day-to-day entries. When you post a role, we check your salary band against our own payroll data for that function and tell you before it goes live whether the band will fill it. On top of salary, employer costs in India include provident fund and gratuity, which Wisemonk carries as the legal employer.

How long does it take to hire?

Applications start arriving as soon as the role is live, and Mira AI scores them as they come in. The start date is set by the notice period rather than the search: employed finance staff commonly serve 30 to 90 days, and senior hires are often a full 90. Filter for shorter notice when the start date matters more than seniority.

How do you verify finance and accounting skill?

Mira AI scores each application against the scorecard you wrote, which for finance usually means the standards they report under, the systems they have used, and the close or analysis they have actually owned. Every score comes with the reasoning behind it. You still run your own interviews, and a short practical accounting or modelling exercise tells you more than the tools listed on a CV.

Do finance professionals in India know US GAAP, UK GAAP or IFRS?

Many do. India trains a large number of qualified accountants who work to IFRS and, in outsourced and captive teams, to US GAAP and UK GAAP every day. Name the standard you report under in the scorecard and Mira AI will weigh it, rather than assuming a general accounting background covers it.

Do certifications like CA, CPA, ACCA or CMA matter?

They are a strong signal for finance roles, more so than in many other fields. A qualification shows a verified baseline; owning a real close or a real model shows capability. Put the qualifications you need in the scorecard and Mira AI will weigh them alongside hands-on experience.

Will finance staff in India work US or UK hours?

Partial overlap with the UK and Europe is standard and easy to staff, which suits close cycles and reporting deadlines. Full US-hours shifts are a smaller pool, so set the overlap you need when you open the role and only candidates who accept it apply.

Do I need a company in India to employ a finance hire there?

No. Wisemonk becomes the legal employer, holds the employment contract, runs payroll, and handles provident fund, gratuity, ESI and income tax withholding. You direct the work day to day. If you already have an Indian entity, you can employ the person on it instead. That is decided at offer stage, not when you post.

Should I hire a finance professional as a contractor or an employee?

Indian law looks at how the work is directed, not at what the contract is called. If you set hours, supply the laptop and manage someone daily, treating them as a contractor carries misclassification risk, which matters more for finance roles that touch sensitive systems and data. Employment through Wisemonk removes that risk without needing your own entity.

How is access to sensitive financial data handled?

The same way it would be for any employee. The employment contract Wisemonk signs on your behalf includes confidentiality and data-handling terms, and you control which systems and accounts the person can access. Employment gives you clearer accountability over sensitive financial data than a contractor arrangement.

What does senior mean for an accountant in India?

Roughly six to nine years, owning the close, the reporting or the FP&A for an entity, setting process and controls, and being the person leadership relies on for the numbers. Titles inflate in the Indian market, so write the scope you need into the scorecard rather than relying on the job title on a CV.

Can I use Mira AI with my existing ATS?

Yes. Screen candidates with Mira AI and export them into your own system, or run the whole process here. Candidates from your careers page, a referral or another job board get scored against the same scorecard as ours.
