• Sign off on deliverables and escalate high-risk or ambiguous matters to Partners

Technical Guidance & Advisory

• Guide the team on Income Tax matters — return filings, TDS/TCS, assessments, notices, advance tax, and tax planning
• Guide the team on GST matters — return filing (GSTR-1/3B/9), reconciliations (2A/2B), refunds, notices, and departmental correspondence
• Oversee payroll processing compliance — PF, ESI, PT, TDS on salaries, and labour law aspects
