Manager Accounts & Finance

Tailor Your Resume for this Job

About the role

We are a books distribution, publishing and e-commerce group operating across trade distribution, academic publishing and online marketplaces. We're looking for a Senior Accountant to independently own the books of accounts for our group entities, close them on time every month, and keep our compliances clean. This is a hands-on role with full ownership — not one where you'll be a small part of a large team.

Key responsibilities

• Maintain complete books of accounts in Tally/ERP for multiple group entities, including month-end provisions, accruals and closing entries
• Prepare monthly P&L, balance sheet and entity-wise profitability statements with variance commentary
• Perform daily bank reconciliations across multiple current accounts and close open items within 30 days
• Reconcile publisher and vendor ledgers, obtain balance confirmations, and resolve disputed entries
• Reconcile Amazon and Flipkart settlement reports — payouts, commissions, shipping fees, returns and short-payments — and raise claims for recoveries
• Handle GST end-to-end: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, 2B vs purchase register matching, ITC follow-up and annual return
• Manage TDS under sections 194Q, 194C, 194I and 194J — deduction, challan deposit, quarterly returns and Form 16A
• Control the payables cycle, track debtor ageing, and escalate overdue and credit-risk accounts
• Maintain the fixed asset register and monthly stock-to-books tie-out with the warehouse
• Provide weekly cash flow position and fund requirement projections to management
• Coordinate with statutory auditors and consultants during audits and assessments
• Review the work of junior accounting staff and own the accuracy of numbers reported to management

Requirements

• B.Com / M.Com; CA Inter or CMA Inter preferred
• 5–8 years in accounting, with at least 2 years handling books independently
• Strong working knowledge of Tally Prime and advanced Excel (VLOOKUP, pivot tables, large-data reconciliation)
• Practical, current knowledge of GST and TDS provisions and portal filings
• Experience with e-commerce marketplace reconciliation is a strong plus
• Accuracy, ownership and the discipline to meet closing deadlines without being chased

Pay: ₹45,000.00 - ₹60,000.00 per month

Work Location: In person
