About Us:

We are a busy food processing factory where precision and efficiency are key. Our finance department is the engine room that keeps our operations running smoothly, ensuring every transaction is accurate and timely to support our production and sales teams.

The Role:

We are looking for a highly organized, hands-on, and meticulous Accounting Manager to oversee our day-to-day finance and administrative operations. This is not a desk-bound role limited to theory; it is a core operational position that requires pragmatism, stamina, and a keen eye for detail to manage the complete Procure-to-Pay cycle and beyond.

We Are Looking For You If:

• You are a "doer" who finds satisfaction in hands-on work and getting things done correctly, not just delegating.
• You thrive in a fast-paced environment where no two days are the same and priorities can shift quickly.
• You understand that supporting a manufacturing plant requires flexibility and a commitment to seeing tasks through to completion.
• You are resilient, detail-oriented, and appreciate the critical importance of accurate financial data.

Key Responsibilities:

• End-to-End Procurement & Payables: Manage the entire process from raising Purchase Orders (POs), verifying goods received notes (GRN), matching invoices, to processing supplier payments accurately and on time.
• Financial Administration: Handle full sets of accounts, month-end closing activities, bank reconciliations, and general ledger maintenance.
• Compliance: Prepare and submit timely GST filings and ensure adherence to all statutory requirements.
• Supplier & Inventory Coordination: Work closely with the production and procurement teams to reconcile orders, deliveries, and inventory records.
• Process Improvement: Continuously identify and implement improvements to our financial and administrative processes to enhance efficiency and control.
• Other Duties: Perform any other related administrative and accounting tasks as required to support the business operations.

The Realities of the Role:

We believe in full transparency. This role is critical to our operation and comes with significant responsibility and demands:

• Work Schedule: This is a 6-day work week position. You must be available to work on Saturdays to support week-end operations and closing activities.
• Hands-On Volume: You will be personally responsible for a high volume of transactional work—processing invoices, raising POs, and managing payments—requiring constant focus and precision.
• Environment: You will need to liaise directly with warehouse, production, and procurement staff on the factory floor, not just from an office.
• Deadline-Driven: The role involves strict, non-negotiable deadlines for payments, reporting, and GST submissions.

We are looking for an efficient and

committed Accounting Manager (Finance Department) to join our office. As a Accounting Manager (Finance Department), you will be managing the day today activities. You will be responsible for

arranging meetings for the staff, provide

them necessary official documents and

keep a record of the appointments within

the office. You will be also arranging

monthly repairs and renovations.
