Key Responsibilities

Books & Transaction Accounting Own day-to-day bookkeeping for each assigned client — raising sale invoices and quotations, booking expense and salary entries correctly against each client's ledger, and keeping bank statements reconciled and up to date, so every client's books are accurate and audit-ready at all times.

Payroll Management Run the monthly payroll cycle end-to-end for each client, including onboarding and exit changes, employee query resolution, and statutory filings tied to payroll (such as PF ECR) — ensuring employees are paid correctly and on time every month.

Payments & Disbursements Execute all recurring outward payments on schedule — vendors, payroll, employee reimbursements, and statutory remittances (PF, NPS, Professional Tax) — as well as ancillary disbursements like Sodexo recharges, with accuracy and no missed cycles.

Statutory Compliance Manage each client's compliance calendar independently — TDS computation and payment, GST return filing (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B), and quarterly TDS returns (Form 24Q/26Q) — and be the first point of contact for resolving TDS, GST,and PF notices or queries, so no client incurs interest, penalties, or notices due to a missed filing.

MIS & Financial Reporting Produce recurring business reporting for each client — weekly sales/collections/receivables trackers, monthly profitability statements, and support for annual financial statement preparation — and act as the coordination point with statutory auditors during finalization and audit.

Systems & Stakeholder Coordination Operate across each client's accounting and payroll software, manage GST OTP authentication and TDS return portals, and liaise with the full range of stakeholders a client touches — management, employees, vendors, banks, and auditors — so nothing falls through the gaps between systems or people.

Prior experience in consulting and FP&A is essential.
