Job Overview
We are looking for a newly qualified or semi-qualified Chartered Accountant, or an ACCA, who wants to build a career in bookkeeping, financial reporting and revenue operations. You will help maintain the books for Shipthis India and Shipthis US, prepare reconciliations and management reports, manage client subscriptions and contracts, and support billing, receivables and payables. This role suits a fresher who is eager to learn, takes ownership of their work and enjoys getting the numbers right. You will learn on the job, working closely with leadership and our external advisors, and take on more responsibility as you grow.
Key Responsibilities:
Bookkeeping & month-end close
- Maintain accurate books for Shipthis India and Shipthis US, including journal entries, accruals, prepayments and intercompany postings.
- Perform bank and payment-gateway reconciliations: import transactions, categorise activity, investigate exceptions and clear unmatched items.
- Support a timely monthly close for both entities, including cut-off checks, balance-sheet reconciliations, deferred revenue review and close checklists.
- Maintain fixed asset, prepaid and accrual schedules, and keep supporting documents organised for every entry.
Financial & management reporting
- Prepare monthly management reports: profit and loss, balance sheet, cash movement, AR/AP ageing and variance commentary.
- Support revenue recognition: validate schedules, review deferred revenue and keep contract changes documented and audit-ready.
- Track actuals against budget, flag overruns and maintain departmental cost trackers.
- Help build annual budgets and rolling forecasts, and prepare simple dashboards for leadership.
Subscription & contract management
- Maintain a central register of client contracts, including key commercial terms, start and end dates, renewal dates and amendments.
- Review signed client contracts and extract billing terms: pricing, billing frequency, payment terms, seats or usage, discounts and special arrangements.
- Set up and maintain client records and subscriptions in the billing system so plans, add-ons, quantities, billing cycles and dates match the contract.
- Manage the subscription lifecycle: upgrades, downgrades, amendments, pauses, renewals and cancellations, with the correct billing or credit impact.
- Track upcoming renewals and expiring contracts, and work with the commercial team so renewals and price changes are actioned on time.
- Keep contract documentation complete and audit-ready, and flag any mismatch between the contract, the subscription set-up and the invoice.
Billing, receivables & payables
- Issue invoices, credit notes and billing adjustments, and flag mismatches between the contract, the billing system and the books.
- Apply customer payments, maintain AR ageing, follow up on overdue invoices and help resolve billing queries.
- Process vendor invoices against contracts and purchase orders, prepare payment runs and reconcile vendor statements.
- Support India statutory payments and filings (GST, TDS and other withholdings) and US vendor documentation as required.
Controls, compliance & audit
- Prepare audit schedules, reconciliation explanations and supporting documents, and respond to auditor queries.
- Maintain documentation for billing changes, credit notes, vendor approvals and month-end judgements.
- Support India and US compliance calendars (filings, due dates and documentation) with leadership and external advisors.
- Keep Shipthis customer records aligned with the billing system and investigate any discrepancies.
Desired Qualifications:
- Qualified CA, semi-qualified CA (CA Intermediate cleared, articleship completed or in its final stage), or ACCA (qualified or affiliate).
- Freshers are strongly encouraged to apply. Articleship, internship, or up to 1 year of experience in accounting, audit or bookkeeping is welcome.
- A genuine interest in bookkeeping, financial reporting and revenue operations, and a wish to grow a career in this area.
- Sound knowledge of accounting fundamentals and Indian accounting practices, including GST, TDS, and maintenance of books of account. Familiarity with US GAAP or IFRS is an advantage.
- Proficiency in advanced Microsoft Excel and financial reconciliations, or the ability to quickly develop these skills.
- Clear written and spoken English, as you will work with customers, vendors, auditors, and internal teams.
- High attention to detail, an ownership mindset, and the discipline to document your work as you go.
Nice to Have:
- Articleship in a CA firm with exposure to statutory audit, tax audit, or bookkeeping clients.
- Hands-on experience with accounting software and cloud-based finance tools.
- Exposure to Ind AS 115 / IFRS 15 / ASC 606 revenue recognition.
