Job description

Role Overview

The Head Accountant has full ownership of the mill's financial records — from day-to-day bookkeeping and GST compliance to MIS reporting and working capital tracking. This is a senior, independent role. The person must be capable of running the accounts department without continuous supervision, flagging issues proactively, and coordinating directly with the owner on financial health.

Key Responsibilities

• Maintain books of accounts end-to-end in Tally Prime — all ledgers, vouchers, and reconciliations
• Handle monthly GST compliance — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation, and e-way bills
• Manage TDS deduction, challans, quarterly returns (26Q, 24Q), and Form 16 issuance
• Prepare and present monthly MIS reports — P&L, cash flow, outstanding debtors and creditors
• Manage accounts payable — vendor payments, dye/chemical supplier invoices, utility bills
• Track accounts receivable — coordinate closely with the Payment Collection Executive on overdue accounts
• Handle bank reconciliation statements (BRS) for all bank accounts — daily/weekly
• Assist in annual audit preparation — compile documents for CA and liaise during audit
• Monitor working capital — flag cash shortfalls, overdraft usage, and bank limit utilisation
• Process salary disbursement — PF, ESIC, PT calculations and monthly payroll register
• Maintain fixed asset register and depreciation schedules
• Manage petty cash and staff reimbursements with proper documentation

Technical Knowledge — Mandatory

• Tally Prime (advanced — live test required)
• Payroll — PF, ESIC, PT
• GST filing — GSTR-1, 3B, 2A/2B
• MS Excel (pivot tables, VLOOKUP)
• TDS working & quarterly returns
• E-way bill generation
• Bank reconciliation (BRS)
• Debtor & creditor ageing analysis
• Working capital management
• Fixed asset register maintenance
• MIS report preparation
• Basic understanding of textile purchase cycles

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

• GST Filing — Timeliness – 100% on-time filing — zero late fees or penalties
• TDS Compliance – Zero default notices — all challans paid by due date
• Monthly MIS Report – Delivered to owner by 5th of every following month
• Debtor Ageing Report – Updated and reviewed weekly — shared with collection executive
• Bank Reconciliation – Completed by 3rd of each month for previous month
• Audit Readiness – All documents compiled within 7 days of CA request
• Payroll Processing – Salary disbursement completed by 25th day of month
• Vendor Payment Accuracy – Zero payment errors or duplicate payments per quarter

Ideal Candidate Profile

• Prior experience in a manufacturing company — textile, chemical, or allied industry strongly preferred over trading firms
• Must have independently handled GST and TDS — not just assisted someone else
• Comfortable working directly with the owner and communicating financial concerns clearly
• Honest, detail-oriented, and proactive — accounts in a mill move fast and errors compound
• Gujarati language fluency preferred — most local vendors and bank dealings are in Gujarati
• Stable work history — candidate should not have hopped between firms every 1 to 2 years
