About the Role
We are seeking a detail-oriented and experienced Accountant to manage day-to-day accounting operations, financial reporting, statutory compliance, and reconciliations.

This role requires a professional who can independently manage accounting activities while working closely with finance, operations, auditors, and business stakeholders.
What You'll Do
- Manage day-to-day accounting activities including journal entries, ledger scrutiny, and bookkeeping.
- Prepare and maintain accurate financial records, reports, and supporting documentation.
- Handle accounts payable, accounts receivable, and vendor reconciliations.
- Perform monthly, quarterly, and annual bank reconciliations.
- Ensure timely processing of invoices, payments, and employee reimbursements.
- Support month-end and year-end closing activities.
- Prepare MIS reports and financial summaries for management review.
- Assist in budgeting, forecasting, and variance analysis.
- Ensure compliance with GST, TDS, Professional Tax, and other statutory requirements.
- Coordinate with auditors during internal, statutory, and tax audits.
- Maintain fixed asset registers and monitor asset capitalization.
- Ensure proper documentation and compliance with organizational policies and accounting standards.
- Support finance leadership with ad-hoc financial analysis and reporting requirements.
What We're Looking For
- 5+ years of experience in Accounting and Finance.
- Bachelor's Degree in Commerce (B.Com); M.Com, CA Inter, CMA Inter, or equivalent qualifications will be an advantage.
- Strong knowledge of accounting principles, bookkeeping, and financial reporting.
- Hands-on experience with Tally ERP, ERP systems, or other accounting software.

- Exposure to ERP implementation or process automation initiatives.
- Experience handling multi-location accounting operations.
- Familiarity with financial controls, compliance frameworks, and audit processes.
What This Role Is Not
This is not a purely data-entry or transactional accounting role. We are looking for an accounting professional who can take ownership of financial accuracy, compliance, reconciliations, reporting, and process improvements while contributing to the overall efficiency of the finance function.
Why Join
- Be part of an organization creating meaningful impact across education, employability, and workforce development.
- Work with a collaborative and growing finance team.
