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, dont 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 executives 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 isnt 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 doesnt 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
• Youve independently owned a set of books — reviewed entries, caught errors, closed months — not just supervised someone who did
• Youve 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
• Youre 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
