Job description

Role Overview

You will own the company's books end-to-end as an individual contributor. This is a hands-on operator's role, not a supervisory one. You will keep the books clean, accurate, and audit-ready at all times, run all banking operations, and prepare every statutory working in-house. Filing and government compliance are handled by our external consultants; your job is to ensure they receive perfectly prepared data on time.

What You'll Do

  • Daily bookkeeping and full data management in Tally Prime and Zoho Books (journal entries, accounts payable/receivable, ledgers, invoicing, and bank reconciliations).
  • All banking operations, including vendor payments, employee reimbursements, and payment scheduling.
  • Month-end and year-end close, plus monthly MIS for the founder (P&L, balance-sheet, and cash-flow view).
  • Preparing all statutory workings in-house (GST, TDS, professional tax, and payroll inputs) for external filing.
  • Payroll preparation (salary registers, deductions, inputs).
  • Using AI tools to speed up the routine (auto-categorisation, anomaly detection, report generation).
  • Coordinating with our external CA, compliance vendors, and auditor to drive the annual audit to completion.
  • Flagging anomalies and raising issues early.
  • Coordination with partners for GST/TDS/professional-tax returns, ROC compliance, foreign remittances, and FEMA.

What We're Looking For

  • CA Inter / semi-qualified, or CMA Inter (preferred).
  • 4–5 years of hands-on accounting experience, including time at a CA firm.
  • Excellent, current, daily-operator command of both Tally Prime and Zoho Books.
  • Solid grip on GST, TDS, and Indian accounting standards.
  • Strong with Excel / Google Sheets for reconciliation and reporting.
  • Able to run the entire books function solo, reliably and with minimal supervision.
  • Gurgaon / NCR based, available 6 days a week, comfortable in a remote-first setup.
  • Detail-obsessed, dependable, and discreet with sensitive financial data.

Bonus

  • Comfort using AI tools in a finance workflow (e.g., Claude).
  • Startup or fast-paced SME experience.
  • Familiarity with foreign-vendor accounting and forex entries.
  • A clear communicator who can turn numbers into plain-language summaries.
