An Accounts Assistant / Book Keeper plays a crucial role in maintaining accurate financial records for businesses. Their responsibilities include recording daily transactions, managing ledgers, reconciling bank statements, preparing invoices, handling petty cash, and supporting senior accountants during audits and report preparation.
These professionals use accounting software such as Tally, QuickBooks, or Zoho Books to enter data and generate reports. They must also ensure compliance with tax laws, GST, and TDS regulations where applicable. Accuracy, attention to detail, and understanding of basic accounting principles are essential skills in this role.
Accounts Assistants are typically the backbone of a company’s finance department. They support budgeting processes, assist in preparing balance sheets and profit-loss accounts, and track receivables and payables. They often interact with vendors and clients for payment-related queries.
This role is ideal for commerce graduates or diploma holders in finance and accounts. Practical knowledge of MS Excel, spreadsheets, and taxation portals is a plus. Whether in small firms or large corporations, their role is foundational to maintaining financial transparency and compliance.
