You've learned how to check the books. Now learn how to own them.

Have you spent the last few years working with a Chartered Accountant or Audit firm and reached the point where you want to see how finance actually works inside a business

This opportunity is designed for that next step.

This is not an entry-level role.

We are looking for someone with practical exposure to accounting, audit and taxation who now wants to move into a corporate environment, take greater ownership and build a much broader understanding of finance and business.

About S&j Group

S&J Group is a Trivandrum-based business group operating across aviation, international freight forwarding, logistics and international trade.

Our businesses work with airlines, exporters, importers, overseas customers, international partners, banks, vendors and service providers. Our transactions therefore go well beyond routine domestic accounting.

You'll get exposure to the financial side of international trade, cross-border transactions, logistics, aviation, foreign-currency transactions, overseas partners, taxation and regulatory compliance. We operate multiple businesses, with significant intercompany transactions, customer and vendor movements, banking transactions, statutory requirements and management reporting. This isn't an environment where you can enter numbers today and figure them out at the end of the month.

Attention to detail matters. Reconciliation matters. And reporting matters enormously.

WHAT WILL YOU ACTUALLY LEARN

This is where the role gets interesting.

We don't run our finance function on traditional standalone accounting software.

We operate on the Zoho ecosystem, and technology is deeply integrated into the way our businesses work.

You'll receive hands-on exposure to a range of business technology and automation tools, working alongside an experienced team that actively uses technology to improve finance, reporting and operations.

You won't simply be taught which entry to pass.

We want you to understand why the transaction happened, how it affects the business, and whether it has been accounted for correctly.

YOUR ROLE

You'll work closely with our internal finance team, management and our Chartered Accountants across our companies, gradually taking ownership of the accounts and compliance requirements of our businesses.

Your Responsibilities Will Include

Day-to-day accounting using Zoho ERP
Bank, customer, vendor and ledger reconciliations
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable
GST workings, reconciliations and compliance
TDS compliance and related documentation
Working closely with our CA team on statutory requirements
Supporting audits, assessments and reconciliations
Monthly closing and management reporting
Monitoring customer outstanding and vendor balances
Invoice and expense verification
Foreign-currency and international transactions
Exposure to the nuances of GST, TDS and international taxation
Coordinating directly with our overseas business partners
Understanding the accounting implications of international freight, aviation and trading transactions
Using technology, reporting tools and automation to improve finance processes

As your capabilities grow, so will the level of responsibility you are given.

WHO SHOULD APPLY

We're particularly interested in someone who has spent approximately 1–3 years working in a CA firm, audit firm or similar professional environment.

You Should Already Have a Working Understanding Of

Accounting

GST
TDS
Reconciliations
Audit
Excel
Statutory Compliance

You don't need to know our systems on Day One.

We will teach you.

What we need from you is a strong accounting foundation, attention to detail, curiosity and the willingness to learn.

MORE THAN AN ACCOUNTING JOB

At S&J, you will have the opportunity to learn hands-on from an experienced team across:

Finance & Accounting

GST & TDS Compliance

International Taxation

International Trade & Logistics

Zoho ERP

Business Automation

Management Reporting

Overseas Transactions & Partner Coordination

You will work with our Chartered Accountants, internal teams, management and overseas partners rather than being restricted to one small part of the accounting process.

The Objective Is Simple

We don't want to hire someone to remain a Junior Accountant.

We want to find someone capable, give them exposure and responsibility, and help them develop into a finance professional who understands both the numbers and the business behind them.

Ready for the next step

If you've built your foundation in an audit or CA firm and are ready to move from checking someone else's business to helping run the finance function of one, we'd like to hear from you.
