About the role5
We are a manpower/staffing group with multiple businesses in Australia — spanning telecommunications and a digital/creative agency (advertising, web development, and digital marketing) — as well as an operating entity in India.
We are looking for a Chartered Accountant to join as Assistant Finance Manager, based in Ahmedabad and reporting to the Finance Manager. You will lead our India-based finance team — a (CA) Management Accountant and a Senior Account Executive — review their work, and take ownership of finalisation and reporting across the Australian group and the Indian entity.
This is a review, finalisation, and team-leadership role. Day-to-day reconciliations and accounting are handled by the team; your focus is reviewing their output and owning month-end finalisation, board packs, balance sheet substantiation, payroll/superannuation review, and compliance — reporting up to the Finance Manager.

- Preparing monthly and year-end financial statements to finalization standard, with complete supporting workpapers
- Reviewing and finalizing payroll under Single Touch Payroll (STP Phase 2), including PAYG withholding and end-of-year payroll finalization
- Superannuation review and reconciliation, including super guarantee calculation, timely lodgement/payment, and reconciliation of super liabilities at month-end and year-end
- BAS/GST preparation, review, and lodgement support
- Ensuring compliance with Australian reporting timelines across all entities
Indian entity oversight (manpower company)
- Overseeing the Indian accounts on a monthly basis, reviewing month-end close and books maintained by the team
- Overseeing Indian tax filings and statutory compliance: GST, TDS, PF, ESI, and Professional Tax
- Ensuring accurate, timely books, filings, and reporting to management
