Accounts Jobs
India has 19+ active accounts openings right now, covering bookkeeping, GST (Goods and Services Tax) filing, billing, and reconciliation roles across CA firms, retail chains, banks, and manufacturing companies. Pay typically runs ₹10,000–₹25,000 a month depending on the city and the candidate's Tally or GST know-how, with the busiest hiring in Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Pune, and Ahmedabad. Most postings accept candidates with a commerce background at the 12th pass or graduate level, and many employers train new hires on their specific accounting software. This page is updated for September 2026 and lists verified accounts openings you can apply to directly, without a recruiter in between.
What Does an Accounts Job Involve?
An accounts role handles a company's day-to-day money records: entering invoices, tracking payments, reconciling bank statements, and preparing the reports a manager or owner needs to see. Unlike a full chartered accountant, most accounts positions on the market don't require a CA qualification. They need someone comfortable in Tally, Excel, and basic GST or TDS (Tax Deducted at Source) compliance work. Every business that sends invoices or pays vendors needs this function, so accounts hiring spans small trading firms, e-commerce sellers, hospitals, schools, and large manufacturing plants alike, not one specific sector.
Accounts Jobs for Freshers
CA firms, small and medium businesses, and retail chains hire freshers into accounts roles across India, especially candidates who've completed a Tally certification alongside their degree. Most postings accept 12th pass with a commerce stream, B.Com graduates, or diploma holders, and provide a short induction on the company's specific billing software or ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) tool before a candidate starts independently.
What Employers Look For
The bar for a first accounts job stays fairly consistent across cities and industries:
- Documents — a PAN card, Aadhaar card, and bank account are asked for at nearly every company before onboarding.
- Tally and Excel — comfort with Tally entries, basic Excel formulas, and simple data entry is the single most common skill tag on fresher accounts listings.
- Commerce background — a 12th or graduate degree with commerce, accounting, or finance as a subject is preferred, though some employers accept any stream if the candidate has completed a Tally course.
- Attention to detail — reconciliation and billing work leaves little room for error, so employers screen for accuracy over speed in the first few weeks.
Common Accounts Roles
Accounts listings split into a handful of recurring job titles, each with a slightly different day-to-day focus:
- Accounts Assistant — data entry, invoice filing, and basic ledger maintenance, usually the highest-volume fresher opening.
- Junior Accountant — a step up, covering bank reconciliation, vendor payments, and GST return preparation.
- Tally Operator — focused specifically on maintaining company books inside Tally, common at small trading and manufacturing firms.
- Accounts Executive — coordinates with sales and purchase teams on billing, credit notes, and monthly closing.
Accounts Salary in India by City
Accounts pay varies by city and by how much GST and compliance responsibility the role carries. Metro hubs like Mumbai and Bengaluru sit at the top of the range, while tier-2 cities run lower but stay within the same broad monthly band nationwide. The table below shows the typical range in ten major hiring cities, from freshers to candidates with a year or more of experience.
| City | Freshers | Experienced (1+ Years) |
|---|---|---|
| Mumbai | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹17,000–₹25,000/month |
| Delhi | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹18,000–₹25,000/month |
| Bengaluru | ₹15,000–₹17,000/month | ₹20,000–₹25,000/month |
| Pune | ₹10,000–₹14,000/month | ₹15,000–₹22,000/month |
| Ahmedabad | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹15,000–₹23,500/month |
| Hyderabad | ₹13,000–₹15,500/month | ₹18,000–₹25,000/month |
| Chennai | ₹12,000–₹15,000/month | ₹17,500–₹23,000/month |
| Kolkata | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹14,500–₹20,000/month |
| Jaipur | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹15,000–₹24,000/month |
| Surat | ₹10,000–₹15,000/month | ₹15,000–₹25,000/month |
These figures are fixed pay and can rise with PF (Provident Fund), medical benefits, or a small bonus tied to timely GST filing and month-end closing. Candidates who add a Tally certification or GST practitioner course often move up the pay band faster than tenure alone would suggest.
Why Accounts Hiring Stays Steady Across Industries
Accounts demand tracks the number of businesses generating invoices and payments, which makes it one of the most stable hiring categories on the market. Every retail chain, manufacturing unit, hospital, and school runs some version of an accounts desk, and GST compliance means even small traders now need someone who can file returns correctly and on time. Because accounts work is process-driven and learnable within weeks, employers backfill positions often rather than holding a seat open for a specific certification. A candidate who performs well in an accounts assistant or Tally operator role for six months to a year typically qualifies for the higher-paying junior accountant or accounts executive postings shown in the salary table above, often without changing employers. GST return cycles and month-end closing also create a predictable, recurring hiring spike, since firms would rather add a temporary hand during the busy filing window than push existing staff into overtime.
Work From Home and Part-Time Accounts Jobs
A meaningful share of accounts listings across India are remote or part-time, aimed at candidates who want to do bookkeeping for one or two small businesses from home rather than commit to a single office. Data entry, invoice processing, and Tally maintenance translate well to a laptop-only setup, so small firms and CA practices post these roles for candidates across a wide radius. Browse work from home accounts jobs for entry-level remote openings, or work from home accounts jobs for experienced candidates if you already have a year or more in the field.
