Accountant Manager (Freelance Accountant)

Company Introduction

Codebase is a young software services company with a great pool of tech-savvy developers. We started in the spring of 2018, and have been growing aggressively. We are located in Pune, India, and serve software product companies across the globe; focusing on enterprise SaaS, eCommerce, cloud, and application development.

We're looking for a sharp, self-sufficient finance professional who can own our day-to-day accounting and compliance work without hand-holding. This is a fractional or part-time engagement to begin with — roughly half a full-time role — but we're open to full-time for the right person.

You won't have a large team around you. You'll need to come in, figure things out, set up systems where they don't exist, and just get things done. If you thrive in that environment, this is for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Prior experience at a company in the 50–200 employee range
• Comfortable being the only finance person (or one of very few)
• Familiarity with accounting tools — Tally, Zoho Books, QuickBooks, or similar
• If you have 4 + years of experience: ideally already running 1–3 fractional clients and genuinely wanting this model, not settling for it

Requirements

• 5–8 years of experience in accounting/finance (more is fine if you actually want fractional work)
• Strong, practical command of Excel and/or Google Sheets — you should be building reports, not just filling them in
• Hands-on experience with Indian accounting — GST, TDS, PF, ESI, PT
• Experience running payroll at a company with 50–200 employees
• Self-directed — you identify what needs doing and do it, without reminders
• Not a CA — we need execution, not advisory

Tools and Platforms

• QuickBooks Online (USA)
• Zoho Books (India)
• Chase.com (USA banking)
• HDFC Bank (India banking)
