About the Role - Finance Associate

Behind every fast-growing company is a finance engine that runs like clockwork, and that's where you come in.

As our Finance Associate, you'll keep the books sharp, the numbers honest and every Bureau employee paid right and on time. To be clear up front: payroll is a core expectation of this role, and you'll own it end to end. But it's not a payroll-only job. You'll get a real blend of finance work too, from vendor payments and reconciliations to month-end close, compliance and audits, so you grow as an all-round finance professional.

What you’ll be doing

Payroll, end-to-end: run monthly payroll, handle inputs, full-and-final settlements, reimbursements and payslip queries so nobody ever worries about their salary.

Statutory compliance: TDS, PF, ESI, PT and Form 16, filed accurately and on deadline.

Day-to-day finance: vendor payments, invoicing, expense tracking and bank reconciliations.

Month-end close: support book closing, accruals and MIS reports the leadership team actually relies on.

Audits and controls: keep documentation audit-ready and help tighten processes as we scale.

Automation: spot the manual, repetitive work and help us replace it with smarter tools.

What You’ll Bring

To shine here, you should have:

1-3 years of hands-on payroll experience, ideally with broader finance or accounting work alongside it.

Working knowledge of Indian payroll statutory compliance and Tally, Zoho or a similar accounting tool.

Strong Excel skills, a sharp eye for detail and a love for numbers that add up.

Discretion with confidential data and a calm, friendly way of answering "where's my salary?" questions.

Bonus points for experience in a startup or fintech, or with HRMS and payroll platforms.
