Finance & Accounts
REPORTS TO
Sr. Vice President – Finance & Accounts

POSITION PURPOSE

The General Manager – Financial Consolidation & Accounts Reconciliation is a mid-senior management role responsible for group-level financial consolidation and accounts reconciliation across Essar's domestic entities. Working closely with the Sr. Vice President – Finance & Accounts, the role also extends dedicated financial reporting and reconciliation support to Family Office.
This is a hands-on, execution-focused role suited to a finance professional who can independently own the consolidation and reconciliation cycle — from entity-level trial balances through to consolidated group financial statements under Ind AS — while maintaining the accuracy, timeliness, and confidentiality expected in a Family Office environment. The incumbent will work closely with statutory auditors, entity-level finance teams, and the Family Office to ensure clean, fully reconciled books across all domestic entities.

POSITION REQUIREMENTS

Education
Chartered Accountant (CA) – Mandatory.

Additional qualification such as Cost & Management Accountant (CMA) or Company Secretary (CS) would be an advantage.

Experience with a mid-size or Big Four audit/assurance firm, or a large corporate finance function, is preferred.

Strong working knowledge of Ind AS, group consolidation accounting, and ERP-based financial reporting (SAP or equivalent) is essential.

Experience

Minimum 8-12 years of post-qualification experience in financial consolidation, accounts reconciliation, and financial reporting, ideally within a diversified conglomerate, investment holding company, family office, or multi-entity domestic group.

Demonstrated experience managing group-level consolidation across multiple domestic entities/subsidiaries under Ind AS.

Hands-on experience in accounts reconciliation — inter-company, bank, vendor, and general ledger reconciliations — across a multi-entity environment.

Experience finalising books of accounts, coordinating statutory audits, and closing quarterly/annual financial statements.

Exposure to Family Office or promoter-group financial reporting, with the discretion and commercial sensitivity such environments demand.

Strong command of MIS reporting, budget variance analysis, and month-end/quarter-end close processes.

Working knowledge of direct and indirect tax compliance, and coordination with tax and statutory auditors, is an advantage.

SKILL/COMPETENCIES REQUIREMENTS

Strong technical command of Ind AS / Indian GAAP, group consolidation principles, and financial statement closure processes across multi-entity structures.
Hands-on expertise in accounts reconciliation — inter-company, bank, vendor/creditor, debtor, and general ledger reconciliations — with the ability to independently resolve reconciliation differences.
Strong MIS and management-reporting skills — monthly closing, budget vs. actuals, variance analysis, and board/promoter-level financial packs.
Commercial fluency across investment holding structures, inter-company transactions, and Family Office financial arrangements, with the discretion such an environment requires.
Ability to coordinate effectively with statutory auditors, tax consultants, and business finance teams to ensure timely, accurate, and audit-ready closures.
Strong process orientation — able to identify reconciliation gaps, streamline closing timelines, and strengthen financial controls across entities.
Self-directed and detail-oriented, able to manage multiple entities and deadlines within a lean team structure.
