Executive & Personal Assistance • Manage the Promoter’s professional calendar, meetings, correspondence, and follow-ups. • Travel with the Promoter for business meetings, bank visits, site visits, and negotiations; handle travel logistics. • Attend meetings on the Promoter’s behalf, take minutes, and ensure follow-through on action items. • Handle confidential financial, business, and personal matters with absolute discretion. Candidate Profile Qualifications & Experience • Qualified Chartered Accountant (CA); FCA designation preferred. This qualification is mandatory. • 5–10 years of post-qualification experience, ideally in a promoter-led / family-owned business group, CA firm serving such groups, or a multi-entity corporate environment. • Demonstrated hands-on experience in banking liaison — loan proposals, credit facilities, documentation, and negotiations. • Strong working knowledge of Indian taxation (Income Tax, GST), accounting standards, and corporate compliance. • Proficiency in Tally / accounting ERPs, MS Excel (advanced), and financial modelling; comfort with digital banking platforms.
