- Manage TDS deduction, challans, quarterly returns (26Q, 24Q), and Form 16 issuance
- Prepare and present monthly MIS reports — P&L, cash flow, outstanding debtors and creditors
- Manage accounts payable — vendor payments, dye/chemical supplier invoices, utility bills
- Track accounts receivable — coordinate closely with the Payment Collection Executive on overdue accounts
- Handle bank reconciliation statements (BRS) for all bank accounts — daily/weekly
- Assist in annual audit preparation — compile documents for CA and liaise during audit
- Monitor working capital — flag cash shortfalls, overdraft usage, and bank limit utilisation
