Finance Manager

WIZARD LEARNING PRIVATE LIMITED
Small Wonders Early Child Development Centre

Finance Manager
Finance and Accounts | Full Time | Kolkata (Minto Park, Hungerford Street)
About Us
Wizard Learning Private Limited operates Small Wonders, one of Kolkata's leading early childhood
education groups, with three campuses at Hungerford Street, Salt Lake and New Alipore. We serve over
900 children with a team of more than 170 educators and staff. As the group grows, we are building a
finance function that does more than keep the books. We want someone who can run accounts with
discipline and also give the promoters the numbers they need to plan the next phase.

The Role
The Finance Manager will own the accounts function across the group. This is first and foremost an
accounting role. You will keep the books accurate, close the month on time, run GST, TDS, income tax and
ROC compliance for the company and the directors, support audits, and supervise the junior accounts
staff across campuses.
Because the books will be in your hands, you will also be the natural person to give management a clear
financial picture. We expect a monthly MIS by campus, basic cost analysis, and help with budgets and
cash flow planning when asked. This is a smaller part of the role and builds directly on clean accounts, not
a separate job.
You will work closely with the promoters and our external CA firm. We are looking for someone from a
CA firm background who has seen the full compliance cycle for private limited companies and individuals,
and who wants to own the accounts function of a growing business end to end.
