About factori.com

factori.com (Sushine Exports Pvt Ltd) is building India's structured bridge to global manufacturing demand — the Alibaba of India for apparel, uniforms, customised merchandise, and corporate goods. We operate a 1.5-acre fulfilment centre at Bannerghatta–Jigani Road, Bengaluru, run a closed-marketplace platform trusted by institutional buyers, brands, and 25,000+ online retailers, and partner with manufacturers across India to take their capacity global.

We are a bootstrapped, fast-scaling, multi-revenue-stream business — Contract Manufacturing, SEPL Ready Stock, Partner Stock listing, and the retailing.factori.com platform for small retailers. The role you're reading about is the accounts & compliance backbone of all of it.

Why this role matters

You will own the complete books, taxes, payroll, and statutory compliance of factori.com — and the CRM-to-Bank-to-Books reconciliation that keeps a multi-channel, multi-state, multi-bank-account business airtight. You will not be doing data entry. You will be running a clean, audit-ready, real-time Accounts & Compliance function for a business that runs on tight margins, demands zero leakage, and is moving fast.

This is a controllership-track role for the right person — high autonomy, direct access to the Founder & CEO, exposure to genuine cross-functional work spanning sales, operations, manufacturing, partner ecosystem, and tech.

• Purchase invoices booking; expenses booking (direct + indirect); vendor ledger maintenance
• Sales invoices booking

• GSTR-3B preparation & filing, including RCM computation — for 4 branches

• Form 15CA / 15CB for foreign remittances
• Income Tax computation per the IT Act 1961 and filing of ITR
• Deferred tax computation as per AS-22 (Accounting for Taxes on Income)

4. CRM ↔ Bank ↔ Books Reconciliation — the factori-specific superpower

• Reconciliation of CRM sales data with the sales register

• Reconciliation of UPI settlement reports with UPI payments in CRM
• Reconciliation of Razorpay settlement reports with payments in CRM

What's outside the scope of this role

We want to be transparent — these are not part of this role today, so candidates can decide their fit honestly:

• Unit-wise costing
• PF / ESI verification on sub-contractors (handled case-by-case at sub-contractor onboarding)

What we're looking for

Must-have

• Qualified Chartered Accountant OR CA Finalist

• Hands-on expertise across the responsibilities listed above — especially GST, TDS, payroll compliance, and financial statements preparation
• Strong working knowledge of Tally, advanced Excel / Google Sheets, and comfort reading reports from CRMs and payment-gateway dashboards

Nice-to-have

• Prior exposure to a multi-channel / e-commerce / D2C / B2B platform accounts function
• Experience handling reconciliations across payment gateways (Razorpay, UPI, etc.) and CRMs
• Prior coordination of the statutory audit and the tax audit independently

Mindset we hire for

• Owner, not executor — you treat the books like they're your own
• Process-first — you build SOPs and checklists, you don't fight fires forever
• High-trust, low-noise — you raise issues early, you don't sit on them
• Sharp on detail without losing the big picture

What you get

• ₹ Up to 12,00,000 per annum CTC, based on qualifications, experience, and current CTC
• Direct reporting line to the Founder & CEO — real visibility, real exposure, real growth track
• An Accounts & Compliance seat in a fast-scaling, multi-revenue-stream, audit-ready, bootstrapped business that is genuinely building something national
• Opportunity to evolve into a Senior Manager / Controller / Head of Accounts & Compliance role as the company scales
• A workplace where the Accounts & Compliance function is respected and central, not an afterthought
