• Startup mentality with ownership-driven approach
• Ability to work independently and solve problems without constant guidance
• Prior experience in finance, accounting, or operations roles

Preferred Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Commerce (B.Com) or Finance (M.Com)
• Experience with accounting software (Tally, QuickBooks, or similar)
• Background in GST compliance or tax management
• Experience in logistics, operations, or fast-growing startups
