Accounts Executive - Receivable
Arcot Group
About the Role
We are looking for an Accounts Receivable Executive to own the full AR function across all three Arcot Group entities — Arcitech AI Solutions Pvt Ltd (India), Arcitech FZCO (UAE), and Arcitech LLC (US). This means collecting from clients, tracking outstanding invoices, running reconciliations, managing GST / TDS / e-invoicing compliance in India, and keeping the books clean in Tally Prime across all three entities.
Key ResponsibilitiesCollections & Receivables Management
- Track all outstanding invoices across the three Arcot Group entities.
- Send scheduled payment reminders to clients — first, second, and escalation — professionally and on time.
- Follow up on overdue receivables; escalate to sales / delivery / the Group Accounts Manager when clients are unresponsive.
- Maintain weekly aging reports and flag cash-flow concerns to the Group Accounts Manager proactively.
Client & Vendor Communication
- Draft professional, clear payment reminders that are firm but relationship-preserving.
- Reply to client and vendor queries on invoices, payments, and reconciliations within 1 business day.
- Keep clean records of all correspondence per invoice for audit and escalation.
- Coordinate with sales / delivery teams on client-specific escalations without damaging relationships.
Indian Statutory Compliance (GST, TDS, E-Invoicing, 26AS)
- Apply correct GST treatment on invoices — within-India, LUT export (nil), or export with payment of tax.
- Prepare monthly GSTR-1 data with correct classification per export type; support the Group Accounts Manager on filing.
- Run e-invoicing on the IRP portal where applicable per turnover rule; ensure IRN is generated on time.
- Track TDS applicability on incoming payments; confirm client-side deduction and reconcile monthly with Form 26AS.
- Follow up with clients whose TDS deductions are not reflecting in 26AS — chase until credit shows.
Tally Booking & Reconciliation
- Book all receipt entries in Tally Prime in the correct entity (India / UAE / US), currency, and tax treatment.
- Reconcile received amounts against invoices; flag shortfalls, excess payments, and unexplained differences.
- Resolve reconciliation differences with the client, sales, or delivery within 5 business days.
- Keep ledgers current so month-end close runs smoothly, with no last-minute scrambles.
Reporting & Awareness
- Prepare weekly aging reports and monthly AR summary reports for the Group Accounts Manager.
- Flag cash-flow concerns (large upcoming receivables, stuck money) with proposed actions.
- Stay current on Indian government schemes (RoDTEP, MSME benefits, startup schemes) that could benefit Arcot Group; share insights with the Group Accounts Manager when relevant.
- Keep pace with GST / TDS / e-invoicing rule changes and notify the team of updates.
Required Skills & Experience
- Experience: 2–4 years of hands-on Accounts Receivable experience
- Indian AR depth (must-have): prior work covering GST classification, TDS receivable tracking, and Form 26AS reconciliation on the receivables side
- Tally Prime (must-have): hands-on with receipt entries, ledger management, and reconciliation — not just data entry
- E-invoicing (must-have): working knowledge of IRP portal, IRN generation, and applicability rules
- Communication (non-negotiable): strong written English — you will draft client emails, reminders, and replies daily; verbal communication clear enough to handle client calls
- Excel / Google Sheets: comfortable with aging reports, reconciliations, VLOOKUP / basic formulas
- Attention to detail: AR errors have real financial consequences; accuracy is non-negotiable
- Ownership: able to work independently within the AR scope; escalates to the Group Accounts Manager on judgment calls, not on execution
- Learning mindset: willingness to learn UAE VAT and US AR treatment on the job under the Group Accounts Manager’s guidance
Nice to Have
- Semi-qualified CA / CMA (Inter cleared) or equivalent.
- Prior exposure to multi-entity or multi-currency AR (India + one overseas entity).
- Awareness of UAE VAT rules or US state / federal sales-tax treatment.
- Prior work at a technology / SaaS / IT company.
- Experience preparing MIS or cash-flow reports.
- Awareness of Indian government schemes (RoDTEP, MSME, startup benefits) beneficial to growing businesses.
The Ideal Candidate
- Has genuinely handled Indian AR end-to-end — GST, TDS, e-invoicing, 26AS — not just receipt data entry.
- Can draft a professional client email without hand-holding.
- Has the discipline to keep three entities cleanly separate — no crossed entries, no mixed currencies.
- Is comfortable being independent within the AR scope while escalating judgment calls to the Group Accounts Manager.
- Is genuinely open to learning UAE and US AR on the job — not looking for a static “just-Indian-AR” seat.
- Communicates well — clients, vendors, sales team, and internal reports.
