What You Will Own

Financial Control & MIS

- Own the monthly P&L; — channel-wise (Ecommerce, D2C, Offline, Tender), cost-wise, and margin-wise
- Build and maintain MIS that management can use to make decisions — not just read
- Track CM1 and CM2 at channel and SKU level — flag deviations immediately, don't wait for month-end
- Monitor working capital — DSO, DIO, DPO, cash conversion cycle — weekly
- Maintain budget vs actuals across all cost heads
- Own payment prioritisation — ensure the payment cycle runs on fixed schedules with no ad-hoc approvals
- Validate every payment before it goes to management for final approval — checker role in the payment flow

GST, TDS & Direct Taxation

- Own GST end-to-end — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, annual returns (GSTR-9/9C) — workings, review, and filing
- Own TDS — 24Q, 26Q, quarterly filings, reconciliation, and deposit scheduling
- ITC reconciliation — GSTR-2B vs books — monthly, not just at audit time
- Coordinate income tax matters with CA — data preparation, computation review, advance tax planning
- Maintain zero-miss compliance calendar — GST, TDS, Income Tax, ROC, PF, ESI

Books, Audit & Notices

- Review and own books quality — ongoing spot checks on the accounts executive's entries, not just month-end
- Own monthly books closure and annual finalization with CA




- Own statutory and tax audit processes — coordinate with CA, manage timelines, sign off
- Handle Show Cause Notices and departmental queries — draft responses, coordinate with CA and legal, maintain a live notice tracker
- Maintain audit-readiness at all times — not a once-a-year exercise

Import, Trade & Procurement Finance

- Validate landed cost for all imports — customs duty, IGST, freight, insurance — ensure procurement isn't working from wrong numbers
- Coordinate import documentation — bills of entry, FIRC, customs compliance
- Give financial sign-off on procurement orders above defined threshold
- Track vendor outstanding and payment schedules

Payroll, Admin & Governance

- Monthly payroll review before each payout — validate salary structures, PF/ESI deductions, accuracy
- Identify and apply applicable government schemes — MSME, startup incentives, R&D; benefits
- ROC filings, DIR-3 KYC, board resolutions — own the statutory calendar
- Support banking documentation — CA certificates, financials for bank requirements, OD/CC submissions

What Good Looks Like

- Books are closed on time every month — management never has to ask where finalization stands
- There is never a missed compliance deadline — not because someone reminded you, but because you own the calendar
- When management asks 'are we making money on Flipkart?' — you have the number ready, not a request for more time




- A GST notice arrives and within 48 hours you have the documents pulled, the exposure quantified, and a draft response in progress
- Procurement doesn't commit to a purchase order without a finance sign-off — and that sign-off happens the same day

You Should Apply If

- You have hands-on experience in both financial control (P&L;, MIS, working capital) and compliance (GST, TDS, audit) — not one or the other
- You've independently owned a set of books — reviewed entries, caught errors, closed months — not just supervised someone who did
- You've handled at least one GST filing or notice situation independently — not handed it to a consultant and waited
- You understand ecommerce or import-heavy business economics — COGS with customs and commissions, channel-level margins, CAC
- You're comfortable being the only senior finance person in the room — no team to escalate to, just management above and juniors below
- You work well under ambiguity — IZI is fast-moving and not every process is documented yet

Bonus If You Have

- CA or CMA qualification — inter or final
- Experience handling GST notices or departmental audits independently
- Import and customs documentation experience — bills of entry, landed cost, FIRC
- Worked in ecommerce, consumer electronics, trading, or import-heavy businesses
- ERP implementation or migration experience

Non-Negotiables

- Strong GST and TDS knowledge — filing level, not just awareness
- Ability to review Tally/ERP books and identify errors — not just run reports
- Advanced Excel — you will build MIS yourself
- On-site in Bhopal, full time — no remote or hybrid
- Immediate or earliest possible joining To Apply
