Role Overview
The Accounts Executive keeps HUMANITI Academy's books - fee collections, student receivables, the Academy's bank account, vendor payments and day-to-day expenses - accurate and current enough that every month closes without a scramble. Statutory filings such as GST and TDS stay with the company's CA firm; this role prepares and reconciles the data those filings run on, and is the Academy's point of contact for them.

- Maintain the Academy's books of account in Tally, Zoho Books or equivalent accounting software, with entries posted on time and kept current

- Process vendor bills, staff reimbursements and Academy expenses, and maintain the supporting documentation
- Reconcile bank statements, petty cash and online payment settlements
REPORTING & CONTROLS
- Prepare monthly collection, expense and receivable reports for management
- Maintain accurate Excel trackers for fees, budgets and spend against plan
- Flag discrepancies, missing documentation and unusual items early rather than at month-end

COORDINATION
- Prepare and hand over the data the company's CA firm needs for GST, TDS and statutory filings, and respond to their queries
- Coordinate with the admissions and operations team so that fee records and enrolment records agree

- Practical experience with accounting software such as Tally, Zoho Books or equivalent
- Sound grasp of everyday accounting - vouchers, ledgers, reconciliations, receivables and payables
- Working awareness of how GST and TDS affect day-to-day entries (the filings themselves are handled by the company's CA firm)
- Accuracy and attention to detail, with the discipline to keep records current rather than catching up later
- Good verbal and written communication
- Full-time availability, MondaySaturday, on-site in Kochi
Preferred / Good to Have
