Meet Madhumitha Murali: New VP of Finance at fiskaly.
We’re thrilled to have recently welcomed Madhumitha Murali as the new VP of Finance at fiskaly! With a rich background in scaling high growth businesses, strategic finance, planning and analysis she joins us at an exciting time in our journey. In this conversation, she shares insights from her career, her vision for fiskaly’s financial future, and what keeps her inspired.
Welcome to fiskaly, Madhu! Let’s start with your background. Could you tell us a bit about your professional journey so far?
Thank you, I’m excited to be here. I began my career in India at Goldman Sachs, then moved into equity research and portfolio management at a Family Office. I later digitized and grew my family business before completing an MBA in Europe. For the past ten years, I’ve focused on scaling tech-enabled businesses in Germany, most recently as Director of Finance at Moonfare in Berlin, where I set up and scaled the finance department and drove profitable growth.
What attracted you to fiskaly and this particular role?
What attracted me to fiskaly is the combination of its business model, the vision of the founders, and the strength of its investors. I’m excited about fiskaly’s role in the global payments network and the opportunity to build a leading pan-European fiscalization provider. This role is especially appealing because I can set up the finance function from the ground up with people, systems, and processes, and position the company for sustainable growth and scale
What do you see as the biggest opportunity (or challenge) in your role at fiskaly?
I see the biggest opportunity, and also the challenge, as guiding fiskaly through the transition from start-up to true scale-up. That means evolving from vision-driven execution to a model that combines long-term planning with disciplined execution. For finance specifically, this is about building sustainable processes, implementing the right systems, and putting the right people in place. At the same time, attracting and retaining top talent will be critical to ensuring the finance function can support growth at scale.
What are your top priorities for the next 6–12 months?
In the next 6–12 months, my top priority is to build a solid foundation for scale. That starts with getting the basics right: robust accounting, reporting, and compliance. From there, I want to establish forward-looking capabilities such as budgeting, rolling forecasts, and performance management. Finally, I’ll focus on strategic finance, ensuring we’re shaping the company for sustainable growth and best exit options in the future.
What’s one piece of advice you’ve carried with you throughout your career so far?
One piece of advice I’ve carried with me is that no problem is too big if you approach it with focus and determination. I’ve learned to stay calm in chaos, keep the bigger picture in mind, and stay laser-focused on the ultimate goal.
Sounds like something you want to be a part of?
We’re excited to have Madhu on board for this phase of growth! And as we continue scaling across Europe, we’re also looking for passionate people to join us in shaping the future of fiscal compliance. If you’re interested in being part of our team, take a look at our open roles here.
