Tarun Kumar Mallappa

CFO, HackerEarth

Over my career spanning 15+ years, I've partnered ​with entrepreneurs across diverse industries, ​including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Online and ​Offline Commerce, Manufacturing, and Services in ​helping them streamline their finance functions.

My background includes a stint with KPMG's M&A ​team before founding & growing a full-service ​fractional CFO practice. I currently lead the finance ​function for a US-based B2B Software-as-a-Service ​(SaaS) company specializing in developer skill ​assessments.

I’m adept at getting companies diligence-ready for a ​fund-raise or sale; automating accounting & finance ​functions to unlock value; providing support on ​business acquisition & sale.
