Development Sector / Inclusive Education & Economic Opportunities
Sol's ARC is a registered NGO working to ensure that every child learns and every adult earns through inclusive education and vocational skilling. For over 20 years, we have partnered with governments, donors, and communities to create systemic change and equity for persons with disabilities.
Our work spans inclusive education, vocational skilling, and systemic advocacy with government bodies at state and national levels. We have impacted over 4 lakh children through our programmes, with interventions running across 13 states in partnership with organisations such as Educate Girls, Teach for India, and Akanksha, and directly with state governments in Madhya Pradesh and Tamil Nadu.
We are looking for an Accounts Executive who will be the backbone of Sol's ARC's day-to-day financial operations. You will support accurate and timely recording of all financial transactions, accounts receivable and payable management, reconciliations, and periodic reporting — ensuring that our books are clean, current, and audit-ready.
This role demands both precision and ownership: you need to be as comfortable reconciling accounts in Tally ERP as tracking outstanding invoices with rigour. You will work closely with the Sr. Accounts Executive, gaining hands-on exposure to the full accounting cycle in a mission-driven organisation.
We are looking for 2–3 years of relevant experience. Candidates with a strong B.Com background and working knowledge of Tally ERP and MS Excel are encouraged to apply.
