Job Requirements

About the Role

We are an IPO-bound organisation currently in the DRHP filing phase. The Deputy Manager – Technical Accounting Group will be responsible for interpreting and operationalising Ind AS across the organisation, providing technical opinions on complex transactions, and supporting financial reporting expected of a soon-to-be-listed entity. The role demands strong communication skills to drive closure across teams and explain complex accounting matters to senior management with clarity.

Key Responsibilities

- Provide authoritative interpretation of Ind AS, including Ind AS 115 (Revenue), 116 (Leases), 109 (Financial Instruments), 36 (Impairment), 12 (Income Taxes), 103 (Business Combinations), and 108 (Segment Reporting).
- Draft technical accounting memos and position papers on non-routine transactions, including M&A;, restructuring, share-based payments, and revenue arrangements.
- Support DRHP / restatement workstreams, SEBI queries, and IPO-related accounting deliverables.
- Support monthly, quarterly, and annual close — including consolidation journals, OCI walks, deferred tax computations, and intercompany eliminations.
- Act as the primary point of contact for statutory auditors on technical matters; support ICoFR / ELC documentation and sign-offs.
- Evaluate recent Ind AS pronouncements from ICAI / MCA and lead implementation across reporting entities.




- Own and maintain the group accounting policy manual.

Work Experience

What We’re Looking For

- Qualification: Chartered Accountant; Dip IFRS / CPA is a plus.
- Experience: 5–9 years post-qualification, with a minimum of 3 years in a Big 4 firm (Deloitte, EY, KPMG, or PwC) in Audit, Assurance, or Accounting Advisory / FAAS.
- Mandatory: Prior experience working with or auditing a listed company; exposure to IPO / DRHP processes strongly preferred.
- Technical: Hands-on Ind AS knowledge; working understanding of SEBI (LODR), Schedule III, Companies Act 2013, and ICAI guidance notes; familiarity with IFRS / US GAAP differences is an advantage.
- Tools: Proficiency in consolidation platforms (FinAlyzer, OneStream, HFM, or SAP BPC), advanced Excel, and ERP environments (SAP / Oracle).

Communication & Stakeholder Skills (Critical)

This role is as much about making the work happen as it is about technical depth. The successful candidate must be able to:

- Explain complex accounting positions to the CFO, Audit Committee, and non-finance leaders in clear, plain language.
- Write concise, decision-ready memos — brevity and precision matter more than length.
- Engage constructively with statutory auditors and hold positions when required.
- Drive closure across cross-functional teams (FP&A;, PMO, OTC, CAG, Tax, Internal Controls) under tight reporting timelines.
