Accountant

Overview

Own the books for Sanctuary's US and India entities, starting with reconciling three years of QuickBooks records and then running day-to-day accounting, payables, cash flow and compliance across both countries.

What you'll do

• Own the books across all US entities in QuickBooks Online and the India entity in Tally, including entries, categorization and accuracy.
• Reconcile the past 3 years of records by backtracking all invoices paid to date, identifying outstanding amounts, and flagging what is owed, to whom and by when.
• Track and manage all incoming and outgoing invoices across entities, including construction-side payments previously managed by the team.
• Manage accounts payable end to end, knowing which payments are due, to whom and when.
• Handle intercompany transactions and reconciliation between the US and India entities.
• Consolidate books of accounts between holding companies and subsidiaries.
• Support the team in maintaining a forward-looking cash flow tracker so the team knows upcoming payments and can communicate proactively with consultants and vendors if timelines shift.

• Handle India payroll bookkeeping and coordinate statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, PT, MCA filings) end to end, including coordination with vendors on ground.
• Support documentation for construction draw applications and other external financial processes.
