Job Description, Accountant, Emerge Legal

Position. Accountant, Accounts and Billing

Location. Ludhiana (Head Office)

Reporting to. Managing Partner / Firm Administrator

Experience. 2 to 5 years of hands-on accounting, preferably in a professional services or law firm workplace

Qualification. B.Com or M.Com. Working knowledge of TDS and GST essential.

About the Role

Emerge Legal is a full-service corporate law firm with offices across six cities. We are looking for an Accountant who can own the firm's day-to-day books on Busy, run the billing cycle end to end, and stay on top of collections. This is not a data entry seat. The person we hire will be the one chasing the number, not just recording it.

Key Responsibilities

Maintain complete books of account on Busy, including day-to-day voucher entries, ledger scrutiny, bank reconciliation and month-end closing.

Raise client invoices for retainers, matters and reimbursables, apply correct GST treatment on legal services including reverse charge where applicable,



and maintain the invoice register.

Track receivables matter-wise and client-wise, follow up on outstanding bills through calls and written reminders, prepare a weekly collection and ageing report for the Managing Partner, and escalate accounts crossing agreed credit periods.

Handle TDS workings and reconciliation against Form 26AS, coordinate with the firm's CA for GST returns, TDS returns and annual filings, and keep supporting records audit-ready.

Process vendor payments, retainer payouts and expense reimbursements against approvals, and maintain petty cash.

What We Are Looking For

Proficiency in Busy is non-negotiable. Accuracy under deadline, comfort with follow-up conversations on payments, and the discretion that comes with handling a law firm's financial and client information. Someone who closes the month without being asked twice.
