3) Reporting & Budgeting

• Track project-wise budgets, expenses, and grants
• Generate monthly, quarterly, and annual financial statements
• Support the team with utilization reports and forecasting

4) Operations & Coordination

• Ensure timely vendor and salary payments
• Assist internal teams with reimbursements and procurement-related accounting
• Maintain proper documentation for all financial and compliance activities

What You Need to Bring

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Commerce/Finance/Accounting

• Strong Excel and documentation skills
• High attention to detail and commitment to accuracy and timelines

What You’ll Get

• A chance to work in the green valley of Dehradun
• Great coffee and even better team vibes

• Work that matters- every single day
