About The Role

We are looking for a capable and detail-driven Finance Associate to join our Accounts team. This is a core finance operations role, suited for someone with a solid grounding in accounting principles, journal entries, and reconciliation — backed by hands-on experience in MIS management and financial reporting. The ideal candidate will be comfortable working independently across the AR cycle, books closure activities, and data analysis, while also possessing working knowledge of GST and TDS — not for compliance ownership, but to facilitate accurate reconciliation and matching in day-to-day operations.

This role requires someone who is as comfortable with numbers as they are with presenting findings — someone who can not only prepare reports but also interpret them, identify patterns, and communicate insights to the Finance Manager and senior leadership.

Roles & Responsibilities

Accounting & Accounts Receivable

• Independently post and review journal entries across all categories — sales, receipts, accruals, prepayments, provisions, adjustments, and reclassifications.
• Maintain and manage the accounts receivable ledger — track invoices raised, monitor receipts, and ensure accurate posting to the correct cost centres.
• Conduct periodic AR aging analysis and proactively flag overdue accounts to the reporting manager.
• Perform customer ledger reconciliation and resolve discrepancies in coordination with internal teams.
  
  

Books Closure & Period-End Activities

• Lead month-end and year-end closing — prepare and post closing entries, review open items, and ensure books are clean and complete before closure.
• Coordinate with relevant teams to ensure all transactions are captured within the reporting period.
• Identify and resolve open items, un-reconciled entries, and mismatches prior to finalising books.
  
  

Reconciliation & Compliance Matching

• Perform bank reconciliation, ledger-to-ledger reconciliation, and inter-company account matching on a regular basis.
• Use GST data (GSTR-2B) and TDS records (Form 26AS) as matching references to validate ledger entries and identify discrepancies — not for compliance filing.
• Investigate and resolve reconciliation variances, document findings, and escalate unresolved items appropriately.
  
  

MIS Management, Reporting & Analysis

• Own the MIS calendar — prepare and deliver weekly, monthly, and quarterly reports on schedule without reminders.
• Design and maintain structured financial dashboards and trackers covering AR health, cash collections, outstanding balances, and ledger status.
• Analyse financial data to identify trends, month-on-month variances, and anomalies — and prepare concise written commentary for management review.
• Assist in prepaqration of ad hoc financial reports and analysis as requested by the Finance Manager or senior leadership.
• Continuously improve MIS templates and reporting formats for greater clarity, speed, and insight value.
