Requirement

• End-to-end TDS handling including correct sections, rates, thresholds, monthly challans, quarterly returns (24Q, 26Q), and Form 16/16A.

• Hands-on experience with bank, vendor, GSTR-2B, and Form 26AS reconciliations.

• Proactive mindset evidenced by a history of building tracking systems, templates, or SOPs, and cleaning up messy inherited books.

• Receptive to feedback, comfortable having work reviewed by the founder and external CA firms, and willing to document and hand over processes.

• Average tenure of 18+ months across the last three roles, with a clear motivation for seeking an execution-focused, stable, long-term ownership role rather than an FP&A or CFO track
