Assistant Manager

Vivek Vijay Agarwal & Associates

Accounts Executive

I started my CA practice in a 150 sq ft room.
Just one intern, broken furniture, and a laptop that didn’t boot unless I begged it to.

That year, I earned ₹2.5L.
Less than my salary as an employee.

But it taught me more than CA finals ever could:

How to solve real business problems, not just balance books.

What I Do:
Today, I work as a Virtual CFO & Financial Systems Consultant for startups, founders, and agencies across:

India | US | UK | UAE | Singapore

I simplify finance and automate chaos using:
• Clean financial models
• AI-integrated reporting
• Tools like Zoho, Excel, Smartsheet, QuickBooks
• SOPs that actually get followed

From handling budgets to setting up cash flow dashboards to implementing AI-based fraud checks, I help businesses grow with clarity, not confusion.

Who I Help:
- Startup Founders struggling to manage money while scaling.
- CA Firms looking to modernize their delivery and tech stack.
- E-commerce, SaaS, Service Businesses who want investor-ready systems
- Young CAs/Interns who want mentorship in the real world of finance

Why It Works:
I don’t offer “advice.”
I roll up my sleeves, get into your numbers, and build what works fast, practical, and aligned with your vision.

If you’re someone who believes finance is more than tax filings and deadlines.

Scaling a startup or GCC? Or navigating your next leadership move? I help high-growth teams and senior professionals win.

I'm Saurabh, CA, CS, IIM Lucknow alum who left the safety of leadership roles to solve a deeper problem:

At HireVeda, we partner with founders to solve their hardest hiring challenges across product, tech, finance, and business leadership. 

We've worked with 300+ startups & GCCs to hire top 1% talent with speed, precision, and deep founder alignment.

We also built ExecEdge a career accelerator for senior professionals navigating the hidden job market.

We help them reposition their narrative, connect with decision-makers, and land leadership roles faster.

I’ve built 3 profitable, bootstrapped businesses over the last decade.
No outside capital just execution, empathy, and obsession with value.

Outside of work, I lead the Learning vertical at Young Indians, stay deeply involved in community building, and spend mornings walking by the lake with my 3-year-old reminding myself what real balance looks like.

This is about building real value, creating real impact, and living a life that matters.

If you're a founder hiring for scale or a leader ready for your next chapter.

Saurabh Agarwal

A ₹85L Chief of Staff role was closed in 72 hours.
Here’s how.

No job post. No mandate. No shortlists.

Founder drops a message in his IIM WhatsApp group on Friday night:
“Need a CoS. Who’s solid?”

By Saturday afternoon: two referrals.
By Sunday evening: conversations done.
By Monday: offer out.

When you sit in founder hiring discussions, you realise fast:
The shortlist is made before the search begins.

At senior levels, companies don’t hire strangers.
They hire trust.
Trust doesn’t come from applications.
It comes from someone saying your name in the right room.

Most senior roles are decided long before the world hears about them.

Seen this play out?

Co-Founder, HireVeda & ExecEdge | Scaling India’s Most Trusted Leadership Hiring & Career Acceleration Platforms | IIM Lucknow | CA | CS

The biggest reason senior hires fail?
Not capability. Not culture.

Across 200 plus leadership searches, one pattern never changes: unclear expectations.

The cleanest hires happen when the founder knows the one outcome this leader must own in the first 90 days.
The ugliest hires happen when the role keeps shifting every week.

The first 90 days create momentum.
The next 900 decide whether the leader scales with the company.

I have seen exceptional leaders struggle simply because different stakeholders expected different outcomes.
That setup fails everyone: the founder, the leader, the company.

What is the biggest clarity miss you have seen derail a senior hire?

In every rocketship D2C brand, the cracks show up in one place first.
Not in product. Not in marketing. It is supply chain.

I am working with an international consumer brand whose supply chain has outgrown the systems that got them here.
They now need a leader who can scale it end to end.

They are hiring a Head of Supply Chain.

Location: Gurgaon, Mumbai or Bangalore
Experience: 12 plus years across first mile, warehousing and last mile in high growth D2C or retail
Compensation: 50 to 75 lakh plus ESOPs

This role will directly determine margin, speed, reliability and the brand’s global expansion.
