ROLE OVERVIEW

As Senior Accountant at Trove, you will own the end-to-end accounting operations of the company — from day-to-day bookkeeping and reconciliations to financial reporting, compliance, and team management. You will lead a team of 3 and report directly to the CFO, playing a key role in keeping Trove’s financial engine running with precision and integrity.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

1. Full Accounts Management

▸ Oversee all accounting operations for Trove Innovations — including sales, purchases, expenses, payroll entries, and inter-entity transactions.

▸ Ensure books are accurate, up to date, and audit-ready at all times.

▸ Review and approve journal entries, vouchers, and ledger postings made by the team.

▸ Own month-end and year-end closing processes — including accruals, provisions, and finalisation of accounts.

2. Financial Reporting & MIS

▸ Prepare monthly MIS reports covering P&L;, balance sheet, cash flow, and expense summaries for CFO review.

▸ Track key financial metrics across business units and flag variances to the CFO on time.

▸ Maintain accurate cost centre-wise reporting to support business decision-making.

▸ Assist in preparation of annual budgets and financial forecasts.

3. Accounts Payable & Receivable

▸ Oversee vendor invoice processing, payment scheduling, and creditor reconciliations.

▸ Monitor debtor ageing and drive timely collection from customers and franchisee units.

▸ Maintain accurate AP/AR ledgers and ensure no overdue entries remain unresolved.

4. Bank Reconciliation & Cash Management





▸ Supervise daily and monthly bank reconciliation across all company accounts.

▸ Manage petty cash, fund transfers, and banking relationships in coordination with the CFO.

▸ Ensure all NEFT/RTGS/cheque transactions are recorded and reconciled promptly.

5. Statutory Compliance & Filing

▸ Own end-to-end GST compliance — GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-9 annual return, reconciliation with books, and timely filing without consultant dependency.

▸ Manage TDS — correct deduction, challan payment, quarterly returns (24Q, 26Q), and Form 16/16A issuance.

▸ Ensure PF, ESI, and Professional Tax contributions are accurately computed, paid on time, and returns filed monthly/annually.

▸ Maintain a compliance calendar covering all statutory due dates — no missed filings, no penalties.

▸ Support external and internal auditors with complete, organised documentation and respond to audit queries independently.

6. Team Management

▸ Lead, mentor, and manage a team of 3 accountants — assigning tasks, reviewing work, and ensuring quality output.

▸ Build a culture of accountability, accuracy, and continuous improvement within the accounts team.

▸ Conduct regular check-ins, resolve escalations,



and develop team capability over time.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

▸ B.Com / M.Com / CA Inter or equivalent — CA qualified is a solid advantage.

▸ Minimum 4 years of experience in accounting, with at least 2 years in a supervisory role.

▸ Strong working knowledge of Tally ERP / Tally Prime and MS Excel — non-negotiable.

▸ Deep, hands-on knowledge of all statutory filings: GST returns (GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, annual return), TDS computation and returns, and Professional Tax — must be able to handle independently.

▸ Prior experience in retail or multi-outlet businesses is highly preferred — must understand the volume, complexity, and pace of accounts in a retail environment.

▸ Proven ability to manage accounts across multiple locations or business units simultaneously.

▸ Sharp eye for detail — able to catch discrepancies, reconcile complex ledgers, and maintain audit-ready books at all times.

▸ Strong ownership mindset — someone who takes full responsibility for the numbers, not just follows instructions.

▸ Clear communicator — able to present financials, flag risks, and escalate issues confidently to the CFO.

TOOLS YOU WILL USE

▸ Tally ERP 9 / Tally Prime — primary accounting platform for all entries and reports.

▸ ERP System — for purchase orders, vendor management, and approvals.

▸ Microsoft Excel — for MIS, reconciliations, and financial analysis.

- ▸ Any other finance or compliance tools in use at Trove.
