Assistant Manager - MIS

About the Role

We are hiring an Assistant Manager – MIS to support the CFO for a growing garment manufacturing and export company in Tiruppur.

This is a hands-on finance support role. You will be the CFO’s operating arm at the client: preparing MIS, reviewing books, tracking cash and working capital, analysing profitability, and keeping Accounts Payable and Accounts Receivable under control. The work is not limited to compiling numbers. You are expected to question variances, flag risks early, and present clean, decision-ready reports to the CFO and promoters.

Key Responsibilities:

MIS, analysis and reporting

• Prepare daily, weekly and monthly MIS packs covering sales, production, purchases, inventory, order-wise / style-wise profitability, overheads and working capital.
• Build and maintain Excel / ERP dashboards for P&L, cash position, debtor ageing, creditor ageing, inventory ageing and bank utilisation.
• Carry out variance analysis (budget vs actual, period vs period, estimate vs actual costing) and highlight root causes with recommended actions.
• Support the CFO in monthly performance reviews with promoters and functional heads.
• Prepare ad-hoc analysis requested by the CFO — contribution by customer / buyer, factory / unit comparison, job-work cost, export incentive impact, etc.

Review of accounts and close

• Review books of accounts for accuracy, completeness and cut-off before monthly close.
• Check journal entries, provisions, prepaid / outstanding, stock valuation and inter-unit / job-work accounting.
• Reconcile key control accounts: banks, debtors, creditors, GST ledgers, packing credit, packing material and yarn / fabric / FG stock.
• Coordinate with the client accounts team to close books on an agreed timetable and support statutory / internal / bank audits with schedules and explanations.

Cash flow, working capital, AP and AR

• Prepare short-term cash flow forecasts (weekly / monthly) and track actual collections and payments against plan.
• Monitor Accounts Receivable: buyer-wise outstanding, overdue, LC / DA / DP status, claims and deductions.
• Monitor Accounts Payable: vendor ageing, payment calendar, advances to job workers / yarn suppliers, and GRN vs invoice mismatches.
• Track bank limits — packing credit, bill discounting, OD / CC — and utilisation versus sanctioned limits.
• Flag working-capital stress early (slow-moving stock, stretched debtors, unbilled production, excess job-work advances).

Profitability and costing support

• Support order-wise / style-wise profitability reviews: fabric, trims, CMT / job-work, overhead absorption, claims and discounts.
• Compare estimated costing with actual consumption and highlight leakage in cutting, wastage, rework and unaccounted job work.
• Assist the CFO in pricing discussions, contribution analysis and cost-reduction trackers.

Coordination and process

• Work daily with client accounts, commercial, merchandising, stores and production teams to obtain timely and reliable data.
• Standardise MIS formats, close calendar and data-collection templates so reporting is consistent every month.
• Support the CFO on bank reporting, CMA data, stock statements and any lender information requests.
• Maintain confidentiality of client financial information at all times.

Candidate Profile

Must have

• 4–8 years of experience in accounts, finance MIS, costing or financial analysis.
• Hands-on experience preparing management MIS, cash-flow statements and AP / AR ageing — not only bookkeeping.
• Strong accounting fundamentals: P&L, balance sheet, working capital and GST ledgers.
• Advanced Microsoft Excel: Pivot Tables, Power Query / lookups, charts, dashboards. Comfortable building a full MIS pack from raw ERP / Tally extracts.
• Working knowledge of Tally Prime / Tally ERP or a comparable manufacturing ERP.
• Ability to review another team’s books, spot errors and follow through until they are corrected.

Preferred

• Experience in garment, knitwear, textile, yarn or export manufacturing — Tiruppur / Coimbatore belt is a plus.
• Familiarity with export commercial documents, packing credit, LC / DA, drawback / ROSCTL and buyer claims.
• CA Inter, CMA Inter, or articleship / industry exposure under a CA firm.
