About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on Manager who will take ownership of finance and accounting operations while helping us modernise and strengthen our existing systems and processes.

The person will report to Senior Manager finance and oversee all direct and indirect tax matters for the organisation. The role is responsible for timely, accurate tax filings; implementation of tax-compliant processes and controls; management of tax audits and assessments; and use of digital tools to strengthen compliance, reporting, and governance.

This role is suited to someone who enjoys building and improving systems, rather than simply maintaining routine accounting processes.

Key Responsibilities

Direct Tax Compliance

• Manage income-tax compliance for the company, including advance tax, self-assessment tax, tax provision, and annual income-tax return filing.
• Ensure correct deduction, payment, reconciliation, and filing of TDS/TCS returns.
• Review tax computations, deferred-tax calculations, tax audit schedules, and supporting documentation.
• Coordinate with statutory auditors, tax auditors, consultants, and legal advisers for audits, assessments, notices, appeals, and litigations.
• Monitor tax-demand notices, refunds, rectifications, and assessment timelines through the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
• Support tax-efficient business decisions, transactions, contracts, and intercompany arrangements.
• Maintain compliance with transfer-pricing requirements where applicable, including documentation and accountant's reports.

Indirect Tax Compliance

• Lead end-to-end GST compliance, including monthly and annual return filing such as GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9, and GSTR-9C where applicable.
• Ensure reconciliation of sales, purchases, e-invoices, e-way bills, input tax credit, GST returns, and books of accounts.
• Monitor vendor GST compliance and follow up on mismatches affecting input tax credit.
• Manage GST registrations, amendments, cancellations, refunds, export-related compliance, and departmental communications.
• Ensure appropriate classification, valuation, place-of-supply determination, reverse-charge compliance, and tax treatment of transactions.
• Oversee customs, import-export, and other indirect tax matters where relevant to the business.
• Handle GST audits, departmental inquiries, notices, assessments, and litigation support.

Tax Systems, Processes, and Controls

• Establish and continuously improve tax-compliant accounting, invoicing, procurement, payroll, and vendor-management processes.
• Design controls to ensure correct tax codes, GSTIN validation, HSN/SAC mapping, TDS applicability, tax rates, and supporting documentation.
• Partner with Finance, Procurement, Sales, HR, Legal, and IT teams to embed tax requirements into business workflows.
• Develop standard operating procedures, compliance calendars, checklists, reconciliations, and approval matrices.
• Identify tax risks, compliance gaps, and process inefficiencies; recommend and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain complete tax records and audit-ready documentation.

Digital Tax Tools and Automation

• Use and improve ERP-based tax workflows, including SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Tally, or equivalent systems.
• Drive adoption of GST, e-invoicing, e-way bill, TDS, and income-tax compliance platforms.
• Use reconciliation and analytics tools to identify mismatches, missing credits, incorrect deductions, and filing exceptions.
• Work with IT and external implementation partners to automate tax calculations, return preparation, reconciliations, dashboards, and compliance alerts.
• Maintain awareness of digital tax initiatives and government portals, including GSTN, e-Invoicing, e-Way Bill, TRACES, and the Income Tax e-Filing portal.
• Ensure appropriate access controls, data quality, master-data governance, and retention of electronic tax records.

Regulatory Monitoring and Advisory

• Stay current with changes in Income Tax, GST, Customs, Companies Act, FEMA, transfer-pricing, payroll-tax, and other relevant regulations.
• Assess the business impact of new circulars, notifications, court rulings, and regulatory changes.
• Communicate practical compliance requirements and policy changes to internal stakeholders.
• Provide management with regular tax compliance status, key risks, upcoming deadlines, tax exposures, and improvement recommendations.

Qualifications and Experience

• Qualified Chartered Accountant preferred or equivalent may be considered with strong experience.
• Typically 6– 8 years of relevant experience in direct and indirect taxation, accounting, and compliance.
• Strong practical knowledge of Indian Income Tax, TDS/TCS, GST, e-invoicing, e-way bills, and tax audits.
• Experience handling tax assessments, reconciliations, statutory audits, and external consultants.
• Familiarity with ERP systems and tax-compliance/reconciliation tools.
• Strong analytical ability, attention to detail, stakeholder-management skills, and ability to meet statutory deadlines.

Key Success Measures

• All tax returns, payments, and statutory filings completed accurately and on time.
• Minimal tax notices, interest, penalties, or unresolved reconciliations.
• Strong input-tax-credit recovery and vendor compliance.
• Timely resolution of audits, assessments, refunds, and tax queries.
• Improved automation, accuracy, visibility, and efficiency of tax processes.
• Clear, current, and audit-ready tax documentation and controls.
