01 Leadership
Aditya Agarwalperson

Aditya Agarwal

Founder

Chartered Accountant (All India Rank 42), ex-Deloitte. Ex-CFO of Yoga Bar (Sproutlife Foods), where he led a 25+ member team across treasury and M&A, Aditya brings the same operating discipline to every TFF client's monthly review. Every engagement runs under his name.

Behind every engagement is a full team - finance professionals from industry who have executed and solved these exact problems inside operating companies. Aditya reviews everything that goes out; the team runs your close, filings, and MIS day to day.

Why this firm exists

Great founders deserve numbers as good as their products

Most growing companies don't need a full-time CFO - they need the CFO function: a monthly close that never slips, runway they can defend, filings that are never late, and a data room that's ready before the term sheet arrives. That's what we built The Founders Finance to deliver, for brands like Ember, Cava, WickedGud, The Cinnamon Kitchen, and Bombay Hot.

03 How an Engagement Runs
Week 1

Onboarding & cleanup

We map your current books, pending filings, and reporting gaps - then clean up what's behind.

Month 1

First close on the new cadence

Books closed by the 10th, first board pack delivered, compliance calendar set with named owners.

Every month

Close → MIS → review

Monthly close, variance commentary, cash flow and runway updates - reviewed with you, not just sent.

Always on

Compliance & capital readiness

GST, income tax, ROC filings on time - and a data room that's ready when investors ask.

04 Operating Principles
01
The close never slips

A fixed close date is the foundation of everything else - reporting, compliance, and capital all fall out of it.

02
Numbers founders actually read

An MIS pack is only useful if the founder opens it. Commentary in plain language, focused on what changed and what to do.

03
Named owners, not shared blame

Every filing, every deliverable, every deadline has one name on it. That's how nothing falls between vendors.

04
Always diligence-ready

We run every client as if a term sheet lands next month - because for the good ones, it does.
