Duties and Responsibilities

1. Accounting operations & records

• Track cash flow and working capital needs; highlight shortfalls and upcoming commitments.
• Maintain payment schedules and support vendor payment processing as per approval workflow.

4. Payroll support & employee reimbursements

• Assist in processing employee payroll in co-ordination with HR; maintain salary records, reimbursements, and deductions. (Your current JD emphasises this; Webguruz careers posting also includes payroll handling.)
• Maintain monthly payroll support documentation (attendance inputs, reimbursements, proof, approvals).

5. GST, TDS, and statutory compliance co-ordination

• Support GST compliance including preparation of outward supply details and summary return workflows (e.g., GSTR-1 outward supplies; GSTR-3B summary return), and maintain supporting workings.
• Support TDS statement preparation and processes, using prescribed utilities/workflows where applicable (e-TDS/e-TCS statements include forms such as 24Q/26Q/27Q/27EQ).
• Co-ordinate with external CA/tax consultants on filings, assessments, and responses; ensure internal data readiness and documentation completeness.

6. Reporting, analysis, and forecasting support

• Provide periodic reports and financial summaries (P&L snapshots, expense analysis, cash-flow summaries) and highlight variances/risks.
• Support management in evaluating financial health, profitability, and upcoming financial needs (explicitly requested in your latest internal JD).
• Assist in budgeting and forecasting support (at minimum: expense tracking vs budget; at senior levels: forecasts, scenario notes).

7. Controls, confidentiality, and continuous improvement

• Ensure compliance with accounting standards and company policies; keep internal controls and approvals intact.
• Maintain confidentiality of financial, payroll, and vendor/customer information.
• Identify process gaps and propose improvements (templates, checklists, automation, SOPs).

Accounting Tools Knowledge Required:

• Tally / equivalent accounting software
• Spreadsheets: Microsoft Excel / Google Sheets (for reconciliation, MIS, payroll support)
• Compliance ecosystems (as applicable): GST portal workflows for returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B); TDS utilities/workflows for e-statements (24Q/26Q/27Q/27EQ)

Skills and Competencies:

• Strong analytical and numerical skills.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks with deadlines (month-end close + compliance + payroll).
• Communication and stakeholder co-ordination (HR, management, vendors, internal teams).
• High integrity and confidentiality, especially for payroll and vendor/customer data.

Compliance / industry specifics (India):

• GST returns: GSTR-1 covers outward supplies; GSTR-3B is a required return for normal and casual taxpayers (filed via GST portal flows).
• TDS statements: e-TDS/e-TCS statements can include forms 24Q/26Q/27Q/27EQ and are prepared/validated using prescribed utilities/workflows.
• Corporate filings support: Companies are required to file financial statements with the Registrar within required timelines; AOC-4 is part of that filing ecosystem (AOC-4 guidance references Companies Act requirements and filing expectations)
