* Maintain vendor ledgers, vendor communication and regular no-dues confirmations.

* Own cash flow, payment planning and fund movement as per approved budgets.

* Prepare and control budgets, with daily monitoring of raw material/COGS, variable costs and all major fixed costs including salaries and repairs & maintenance.

What we are looking for: Someone who treats finance as a business ownership function, not just an accounting role — strong in daily execution, but equally capable of thinking about profitability, cash flow, and growth.
