Accountant

We're looking for an accountant who can own the books end to end daily sales reconciliation, vendor and bar-stock control, statutory compliance, and a clean monthly P&L . This is a hands-on role in a single-unit, high-volume F&B operation, not a back-office desk job.

Key responsibilities

Daily sales & cash

• Complete the day-closing reconciliation: Petpooja POS sales against Swiggy, Zomato, and other aggregator reports, UPI/QR collections, card settlements, and cash deposits
• Investigate and escalate variances, short settlements, aggregator deductions, and chargebacks
• Manage petty cash, cash handover from cashiers, and daily bank deposits

Purchases, vendors & inventory

• Process purchase bills against GRNs and POs; flag rate and quantity mismatches
• Maintain the vendor ledger, ageing, and payment schedule; process payment runs after approval
• Coordinate monthly food, beverage, and bar stock takes; compute F&B cost percentages and consumption variance against theoretical usage
• Track liquor stock movement and maintain excise-related records and registers in line with UP excise requirements

Statutory compliance

• GST: GSTR-1, GSTR-3B, GSTR-2B reconciliation, ITC tracking, and aggregator TCS credits
• TDS deduction, deposit, and quarterly return support; professional tax
• Payroll processing with PF and ESI compliance, in coordination with HR
• Maintain a licence and renewal calendar (FSSAI, excise, trade licence, fire) and flag expiries in advance

Reporting

• Close the books monthly and publish the P&L with cost-line commentary — food cost, beverage cost, labour, rent, utilities, aggregator commissions, marketing
• Prepare partner-level MIS, including capital and loan account schedules for the four partners
• Support statutory audit, internal audit, and any partner or investor information requests

Requirements

• B.Com / M.Com; CA Inter or CMA Inter is a plus
• 3–5 years in accounting, with at least 2 years in restaurants, bars, hotels, or QSR — F&B experience is essential, not preferred
• Working knowledge of Tally Prime and strong Excel (pivots, lookups, reconciliation workbooks)
• Familiarity with a restaurant POS — Petpooja experience is a strong advantage — and with aggregator settlement reports
• Practical understanding of GST as it applies to restaurants and bars
