Job description

We are looking for a detail-oriented Junior Accountant to join our Finance & Accounts team. This role has been created specifically to support our Accounts Executive in managing day-to-day accounting operations across two entities — EasyWebinar (international/export) and Softobiz Technologies (domestic IT services).

You will work directly under the guidance of our Accounts Executive and will be responsible for maintaining accurate books, performing reconciliations, and supporting compliance workings for your assigned entity. Over time, you will build cross-entity capability and grow into a fully independent accountant.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role — ideal for someone who is methodical, deadline-driven, and keen to build deep accounting expertise in a fast-growing technology company.

Key Responsibilities

1. Daily Accounting & Bookkeeping

• Pass accounting entries in real time (within T+1 day of transaction) for assigned entity
• Maintain ledgers and Chart of Accounts as per entity-wise structure
• Ensure zero cross-entity misclassification of transactions
• Flag unusual or ambiguous transactions to the Accounts Executive before posting
• Assist in month-end book closure — all entries complete and reviewed within T+3 working days
• Perform monthly bank reconciliation for all bank accounts of assigned entity
• Identify and resolve all variances within 5 working days of month-end
• Maintain a documented audit trail for all reconciling items
• Coordinate with bank for receipt allocation and payment narrations as needed

3. Accounts Receivable Support

• Update AR tracker for assigned entity with every receipt — same day
• Assist in weekly follow-up reminders for overdue invoices under Accounts Executive's direction
• Reconcile client ledgers monthly — zero unreconciled items older than 30 days
• Support preparation of monthly AR ageing report

4. GST & TDS — Working Support

• Prepare purchase register and sales register for assigned entity every month
• Assist in GSTR-2B vs books reconciliation — highlight mismatches for review
• Compile TDS deduction details from payment records for monthly review by Accounts Executive
• Ensure all supporting documents (invoices, challans, bank advices) are filed and retrievable

5. Payroll & Compliance Data

• Compile salary-related inputs (attendance, deductions, reimbursements) for payroll processing
• Cross-check payroll outputs against inputs before disbursement — flag any discrepancy
• Maintain PF/ESI working sheets for assigned entity; flag due dates in advance

6. Documentation & Audit Readiness

• File all vouchers, invoices, bank statements, and challans entity-wise and date-wise
• Ensure all documents are retrievable within 15 minutes on request — digital and physical
• Assist the Accounts Executive in providing schedules and data during statutory audit
• Flag any missing or incomplete documentation immediately — do not let gaps accumulate

7. MIS & Reporting Support

• Compile and share data inputs for monthly MIS as requested by Accounts Executive
• Maintain all trackers in real time — no stale or unupdated data
• Respond to ad-hoc data requests from Accounts Executive within 4 working hours

What This Role Is Not

We want to be transparent about scope so expectations are aligned from day one:

• This is not a compliance filing role — GST and TDS filings are owned by the Accounts Executive. You prepare workings and support; you do not file independently in Year 1.
• This is not a management role — you will not manage people or vendors.
• This is not a strategic finance role — no financial modelling, pricing, or board-level reporting.
• This is not a remote role — you are expected to be present on-site as accounting operations require real-time coordination.

What to Expect Working Here

• Small, close-knit finance team — you will have direct access to senior accountants and the Finance Manager from day one
• High ownership, low bureaucracy — if you spot a problem, you are expected to flag it, not wait for someone else to notice
• Real variety — working across two entities (one international, one domestic) gives you exposure most junior accountants don't get until year 3 or 4
• Structured mentorship — you will work directly under an experienced Accounts Executive who will guide your learning week by week
• Transparent progression — your growth path, evaluation criteria, and what you need to do to get promoted are written down and shared with you upfront
