  • Conduct monthly review calls and manage ongoing client communication

  • Maintain proper documentation, audit trails, and SOP adherence
  • Support and guide junior associates on workflows and best practices

Tools & Systems You’ll Work With 

  • Accounting Software: Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or equivalent 
  • Compliance Platforms: GST portal, TRACES, DSC tools 
  • Spreadsheets & Reporting: Excel/Google Sheets 
  • Internal workflow tools and client portals 

 

Requirements for the Role 

Must Have

  • 3–6 years of hands-on accounting experience (CA articleship included)
  • Strong experience in bookkeeping using Tally
  • Working knowledge of GST (returns, reconciliations)
  • Working knowledge of TDS (sections, rates, returns, certificates, 26AS reconciliation)
  • Strong proficiency in MS Excel (VLOOKUP, Pivot Tables, reconciliation sheets)
  • Working knowledge of MS Word for documentation and client deliverables
  • Strong documentation discipline and audit trail management
  • Good spoken and written English for client-facing communication

Good to Have

  • Experience with MIS reporting and dashboards
  • Basic financial analysis (variance analysis, ratio analysis)
  • Prior experience reviewing or supervising junior team members
  • Exposure to startups, SMEs, or professional services clients
  • Familiarity with ROC/MCA filings, PT, PF, and ESI compliance

E – Excel Relentlessly 
Precision matters. We aim for accuracy, consistency, and excellence in every ledger. 

O – Own It End-to-End 
No loose ends. We take full responsibility—from data collection to final compliance.

  • Team Outings: Offsites and outings to celebrate wins and build camaraderie. 
  • Engagement Initiatives: Hackathons, open demos, game nights, and more.
