What you will do

Books and reconciliation

• Maintain all books of account in Zoho Books — sales, purchases, journals, ledgers
• Daily bank reconciliation across all company accounts
• Daily cash reconciliation against front-desk collection records and deposit slips
• Debtor and creditor reconciliation; follow up on outstanding vendor and patient balances
• Month-end close: schedules, P&L, balance sheet, and a monthly MIS pack for the founder

Statutory compliance

• GST — GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B preparation and filing, 2B reconciliation, input credit tracking
• TDS — deduction, monthly deposit, and quarterly returns (24Q and 26Q)
• Payroll — salary processing, EPF and ESIC computation, challans and returns
• Professional tax and other state statutory filings
• Coordination with our CA for audit, ROC filings, and income tax

Grant fund accounting

• Keep grant funds separate from clinic revenue, in accounts and in ledgers
• Tag every grant expense to its sanctioned head at the time of entry, not at year-end
• Maintain running utilisation statements for each funder
• Prepare documentation for utilisation certificates and funder audits

Controls

• Operate and enforce the cash handling process — two-person count, independent recording, daily banking
• Check vendor bills and payment vouchers before payments are released
• Maintain a clean, filed document trail that an auditor or an investor can be walked through
• Raise anything that does not look right, directly and early

What we need from you

Essential

• B.Com or equivalent. CA Inter, CMA Inter , MBA (Finance) M.Com is a plus;
• 3–6 years of hands-on accounting. Experience in a CA firm counts fully.
• You have personally maintained books — not assisted someone who did.
• You have personally filed GST returns and know the due dates without looking them up.
• Working knowledge of TDS sections and rates for professional fees and rent.
• Tally Prime or Zoho Books. If you are on Tally, we will give you time to learn Zoho — the logic is the same.
• Excel that you actually use: lookups, pivots, filters. This will be tested.
• Guwahati resident, or willing to relocate permanently.

Strongly preferred

• Experience handling daily cash collections and the controls around them
• EPF and ESIC filing experience
• Exposure to grants, project accounting, or restricted funds
• Experience in healthcare, diagnostics, or a business with high daily transaction volume

Benefits:

• Flexible schedule
• Paid time off
