Job description

About The Role

We are looking for a finance professional to join our Finance team as Manager – Reporting. This is primarily a financial reporting role built around five core pillars: financial reporting, deep technical knowledge of Ind AS and accounting, driving month-end close, getting statutory and internal audits fully done and closed, and owning inventory accounting. The role also requires a good understanding of how both our online (e-commerce) and offline (retail/store) businesses operate and get reflected in the numbers.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead month-end close activities end-to-end — closing calendar, accruals, provisions, and schedules — ensuring books are closed accurately and within timelines.
• Apply deep, hands‑on knowledge of Ind AS and accounting standards to ensure financial statements are technically accurate and fully compliant.
• Get statutory, internal, and tax audits fully done — audit planning, PBC schedules, query resolution, and final closure — with no open items, including handling Big 4 auditors directly.
• Own inventory accounting — stock valuation, GL-to-warehouse/SCM reconciliation, obsolescence and slow‑moving provisioning, and costing method reviews — as a core, ongoing responsibility.
• Build a strong working understanding of both the online (e-commerce) and offline (retail/store) sides of the business, and ensure reporting reflects channel‑specific nuances (COD, returns, offline retail, store‑level P&L, etc.).
• Perform variance analysis (actuals vs. budget vs. prior period) across online and offline channels and provide clear, actionable commentary to leadership.
• Coordinate with cross‑functional and channel teams (online category, offline retail/stores, supply chain) to ensure reporting reflects business realities accurately.
• Support budgeting, forecasting, and board/investor reporting requirements as needed.
• Identify opportunities to automate and streamline reporting processes, dashboards, and reconciliations.

Qualifications & Experience

• CA with 4–6 years of post‑qualification experience, primarily in financial reporting.
• Deep, hands‑on knowledge of Ind AS and accounting standards — this is a core requirement, not a nice‑to‑have.
• Proven, hands‑on experience running month‑end close and independently getting statutory/internal audits fully closed.
• Experience handling Big 4 auditors, including managing the audit relationship end‑to‑end.
• Hands‑on experience in inventory accounting — valuation, reconciliation, and provisioning — is required, not just preferred.
• Experience in a business with both online and offline (omnichannel) revenue streams — e‑commerce, retail, or D2C — is strongly preferred.
• Experience with SAP HANA is preferred.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Excel and reporting/visualization tools such as Power BI or Tableau.
• Exposure to IPO readiness / IPO process will be an added advantage.

What We Are Looking For

• A highly motivated finance professional with strong technical accounting and reporting knowledge.
• Detail‑oriented with exceptional analytical and organizational skills.
• Ability to independently manage multiple priorities while maintaining accuracy.
• A collaborative team player with a continuous improvement mindset.
• Someone who thrives in a dynamic, high‑growth environment and takes ownership of deliverables.

Key Skills

• Financial Reporting (Core)
• Inventory Accounting (Core)
• Ind AS & Technical Accounting
• Online & Offline Business Acumen
• Month‑End Close Management
• MIS & Management Dashboards
• Statutory Audit Closure
• Reconciliations & Book Closure
• Big 4 Auditor Handling
• Internal Controls & Compliance
• Variance Analysis
• IPO Readiness (Plus)
