Role Overview
 
We are looking for a hands-on Chartered Accountant to own core controllership execution end-to-end – statutory
audits, financial reporting and the upcoming transition to Ind AS, month-end close, investor and MIS reporting,
taxation and compliance, treasury, and internal financial controls. This is an execution-heavy individual-
contributor role for someone who takes full ownership of deliverables, keeps every number backed by
documented inputs, and anticipates audit and governance issues before they surface.
 
Must-Haves

reporting.
Demonstrated experience handling statutory audits with Big 4 or comparable audit firms (either from within
industry or from practice at a Big 4 / mid-tier firm).

Hands-on experience handling investor relations and MIS reporting
Experience managing direct and indirect tax risk (RPT, MAT, transfer pricing, GST) and coordinating filings and
statutory / ROC compliance with external experts.
Strong command of Excel / Google Sheets and comfort building linked, self-updating trackers and models;
exposure to Zoho Books ERP.
Sharp eye for detail with the discipline to keep every number backed by a documented input.

rather than inherited
Exposure to IFC / IFCR implementation and to an RBI-regulated or otherwise regulated set-up.
Exposure to treasury / cash-flow management and to ROC / Companies Act and secretarial compliance.

       GAAP-to-Ind AS difference analysis, restatement of comparatives, and assessment of the impact on financials
       and disclosures.
    • Apply Ind AS to complex areas – revenue recognition, ESOP accounting, financial instruments, leases, expected
       credit loss and related-party disclosures.
    • Track changes in accounting standards and assess their impact on the company's financials.

3. Month-End Close & Books
