• Monitor working capital, receivables, payables, and cost controls.
• Liaise with auditors, bankers, external consultants, and regulatory authorities.

Tech Stack

• Accounting & ERP Platforms: Tally, Zoho Books, SAP, Oracle, or equivalent systems.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel for financial modelling, reporting, and data analysis.
• Familiarity with Indian Accounting Standards (Ind AS), GST, Direct Taxation, financial reporting, and statutory compliance.
