Job description

What the Role Is

This is a senior individual-contributor position with a clear path to a supervisory and client-facing role. You will handle an assigned portfolio of clients independently -- from data collection to filing to client coordination -- while working closely with the partner and the senior team on more complex matters.

This is not a data-entry role. You will be expected to think, flag problems, and communicate with clients directly.

What You Will Do

- Independently manage GST compliance for an assigned client portfolio: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B reconciliation, annual returns (GSTR-9/9C)
- Prepare and file income tax returns for individuals, firms, and companies
- Handle TDS return filing (24Q, 26Q) and TDS reconciliation
- Finalise books of accounts in Tally Prime for ITR and audit purposes
- Assist in statutory and tax audit fieldwork: vouching, schedule preparation, working papers
- Coordinate directly with clients on data requirements, discrepancies, and pending items
- Review output of junior staff and guide them on routine compliance tasks
- Flag ITC mismatches, reconciliation gaps, and compliance issues proactively -- not after the partner asks

What We Are Looking For

- 2 to 5 years of experience in a CA firm handling GST, ITR, and TDS end-to-end
- Proficiency in Tally Prime is non-negotiable




- Solid working knowledge of GST law: not just filing mechanics, but understanding why numbers move and what triggers a mismatch
- Comfortable communicating with clients in English, Konkani, or Hindi -- politely, clearly, and without needing the partner to repeat the message
- CA Inter (either group) preferred; B.Com graduates with robust CA firm experience will be considered
- Must currently reside in Goa -- applications from outside Goa will not be processed

What Is Not Required (but will help you grow faster here)

- Experience with GST notices or departmental correspondence -- we will train you on this
- Experience with SPEQTA GST or similar compliance software -- adaptable candidates pick this up quickly

What We Offer

- Direct mentorship from the firm's partner and senior accountant
- Exposure to complex client situations across scrap trading and manufacturing sectors -- not just routine filings
- A defined growth path: candidates who demonstrate ownership and technical depth will move into client relationship management and eventually a supervisory role
- Stable, professional work environment; no working on holidays expectations for routine work
