• Address payment inquiries from vendors and internal stakeholders

Reconciliation & Reporting

• Reconcile vendor statements and resolve outstanding balances or discrepancies

• Maintain organised and accurate records of invoices, payments, and correspondence

• Ensure compliance with company policies, financial regulations, and tax requirements, including TDS on vendor payments and GST input tax credit reconciliation

• Support internal and statutory audits by providing requested documentation and information

Process Improvement

• Identify opportunities to improve accounts payable processes and implement best practices

• Use AP automation tools to improve efficiency and accuracy

REQUIREMENTS
Must Have

• 2–4 years of experience in accounts payable or general accounting

• Strong understanding of accounting principles and practices, particularly accounts payable

• Knowledge of AP workflows, vendor management, and tax compliance relevant to payables (TDS, GST)

• Advanced Microsoft Excel skills, including data analysis and pivot tables

• Hands-on experience with ERP or accounting software (e.g., Tally, SAP, or similar)

• Strong attention to detail and accuracy in processing invoices and payments

• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills for working with vendors and internal stakeholders

• Strong organisational and time-management skills, with the ability to prioritise and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment

• Ability to work independently as well as collaboratively in a team

Good to Have

• Familiarity with AP automation tools and electronic payment platforms

• Experience with international vendor payments or foreign remittances

• Exposure to multi-entity accounting or international vendor tax reporting (e.g., US 1099)

• Experience in a manufacturing, hardware, or technology company

ELIGIBLE CANDIDATES
Desired Qualification

• Bachelor’s degree in Commerce, Accounting, Finance, or a related field

• M.Com, MBA (Finance), or partially completed CA/CMA is a plus

Work Experience

• 2–4 years in accounts payable or general accounting, preferably with ERP-based processes

WE VALUE

• Accuracy — gets the numbers right the first time

• Ownership of Timelines — payments go out on schedule, every cycle

• Vendor Trust — treats vendors as long-term partners

• Process Thinking — fixes the root cause, not just the invoice

• Integrity & Confidentiality — handles financial information with care

WHY JOIN US
Every robot we ship depends on a supply chain of vendors who trust us to pay accurately and on time. In this role you will own that trust, while gaining hands-on exposure to the finance operations of a Series B deep-tech company scaling across India, Europe, and the USA.

You won’t just process invoices.
You’ll keep the supply chain behind our robots running — on time, every time.
