About Us

We are a fast-paced, mission-driven non-profit on a journey to bridge the opportunity gap for underserved youth. We equip young people with the essential skills, confidence, and networks needed for work readiness and meaningful employment. Our environment is energetic, agile, and collaborative—we work hard, solve problems creatively, and keep youth at the heart of everything we do.

About the Role

We are looking for an energetic, dynamic Accounts Associate to join our team in Gurgaon.

If you are someone who takes pride in the precision and rigor of day-to-day financial operations (like payment processing and vendor coordination) but also loves putting on a problem-solving hat to make processes smoother, this role is for you. We need someone who brings a strong service mindset—seeing finance not just as back-office paperwork, but as a critical enabler of our impact on the ground.

Key Responsibilities

Financial Operations & Processing

• Handle day-to-day payment processing, invoice verification, vendor payments, and expense reimbursements accurately and on time.
• Maintain clean, organized accounting records and documentation for all transactions.
• Coordinate with team members across departments to resolve payment queries and ensure timely documentation.

Vendor & Stakeholder Coordination

• Act as the primary point of contact for routine vendor follow-ups, payment schedules, and account reconciliations.
• Assist in banking operations, vendor onboarding, and compliance-related documentation support.

Creative Problem-Solving & Process Improvement

• Identify friction points in routine accounting workflows and propose smart, creative solutions to simplify processes.
• Support the finance team during audits, budgeting cycles, and monthly financial reporting.

What We Are Looking For

• Experience: 1–3 years of hands-on experience in basic accounting, payment processing, or financial coordination (prior non-profit experience is a plus, but not required).
• Attention to Detail: High accuracy and rigor when dealing with numbers, mundane tasks, and repetitive processes.
• Problem-Solving Mindset: A creative, solution-oriented approach when roadblocks arise.
• Service Orientation: A supportive, approachable attitude towards internal team members, partners, and vendors.
• Tech-Savvy: Proficiency with standard accounting software (e.g., Tally, Zoho Books, or similar) and Microsoft Excel.
• Communication: Clear and polite written and verbal communication skills.
• Work Setup: Readiness to work full-time from our Gurgaon office.
