Core Responsibilities for Senior Accountant at Shree Ganesh Roadline
Accounting & Reporting
- Maintain the general ledger: record journal entries, post and classify financial transactions (revenue, expenses, freight/transport-related charges, overheads, etc.).
- Ensure accurate and timely reconciliation of balance-sheet accounts — bank accounts, receivables, payables, intercompany/ inter-branch accounts (if any).
- Lead month-end and year-end closing processes, including preparation of financial statements (profit & loss, balance sheet, cash flow), and MIS reports for management review.
- Prepare regular financial reports (monthly/quarterly/annual) summarizing company performance, costs, revenues, cash flow etc.
Accounts Payable / Receivable & Cash-flow / Working Capital Management
- Oversee accounts receivable (billing to clients/customers, freight/shipping invoices) and accounts payable (vendor bills, maintenance, fuel, transport-related costs) to ensure timely and accurate payments and receipts.
- Monitor and manage cash flow — track receivables/ payables, forecast cash requirements, coordinate with operations/logistics teams to align costs with collections. (Important especially in transport/logistics where cash-flow timing may fluctuate.)
- Maintain records of advances, freight-related bills, vendor payments, and any other transport-specific expenses (e.g. vehicle maintenance, fuel, tolls, warehousing) to ensure transparency and auditability.
Budgeting, Cost Analysis & Cost Control
- Assist in preparing budgets and financial forecasts (monthly/quarterly/yearly) — including revenue projections from transport services, cost of operations, overheads etc.
- Perform variance analysis: compare actual costs and revenues against budgets/forecasts, highlight anomalies, and provide explanations / actionable insights to management.
- Work closely with operations/transport teams to track cost centers (e.g. per vehicle, per route, per shipment), ensure cost allocation is accurate, and suggest cost-saving measures wherever possible (fuel efficiency, maintenance costs, optimal routing etc.).
Compliance, Statutory & Audit Support
- Ensure accounting practices follow applicable standards and regulations (for India: local accounting standards, statutory requirements, tax laws — GST, TDS, etc., if applicable).

- Ensure timely compliance with all regulatory filings, tax submissions and financial reporting obligations relevant to transport/logistics business operations.

- Supervise and mentor junior accounting staff (e.g. junior accountants / clerks), review their work (journal entries, reconciliations, invoice processing) for accuracy before final posting.
- Establish, document and maintain internal control systems and accounting policies for Shree Ganesh Roadline — especially important given the complexities of transport/logistics costs and multiple cost centers.
- Collaborate with operations, logistics, fleet management or maintenance teams (as relevant) to coordinate cost tracking, allocate costs properly (fuel, maintenance, vehicle depreciation, tolls, driver allowances, etc.) and ensure accurate accounting of all operational expenditures.
Financial Analysis & Management Support
- Provide management with financial analysis, KPI reports, cost-volume-profit analysis, route profitability, cash-flow projections, and insight for strategic decisions (fleet expansion, cost optimization, pricing, route planning).
