Accountant Staffing
Accountants Who Keep the Numbers Honest
An accountant's work is invisible when it is done well and very expensive when it is not. A missed input tax credit, an unreconciled vendor ledger or an MIS that arrives a week late all end up on a founder's or CFO's desk. Zilo AI is an accountant recruitment agency that helps companies across India hire accountants and financial analysts who maintain clean books, reconcile every account and turn the ledger into reporting management can act on.
Candidates are screened hands-on in TallyPrime, Zoho Books or SAP FICO, on GST and TDS work, bank and vendor reconciliations and month-end close, with extra attention to integrity for anyone who will touch payments. We run contract accountant staffing in India for audit season, leave cover and backlog clean-ups, contract-to-hire when you want to see the books before you commit, and permanent hiring for the people who will run your accounts long term.
Screened on Real Workings
We test reconciliations, journal entries and GST workings in the software you run, not just familiarity listed on a CV.
GST and TDS Covered
GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B filings, input tax credit matching against GSTR-2B, TDS deductions and quarterly returns.
Integrity Checked
Roles that handle vendor payments, cash or bank access get extra attention to integrity during screening.
Analysis, Not Just Entries
Financial analysts who explain variances, margins and cash flow in a monthly MIS that leadership actually reads.
Roles We Fill
Accounting Roles We Fill
From a single accountant for a growing business to a full accounts desk with AP/AR, GST and FP&A support, every candidate is screened on the work the role really involves.
Accountant / Financial Analyst
Maintains books of accounts, posts entries, reconciles bank and vendor ledgers and prepares monthly MIS, while analyzing costs, margins and cash flow so management can make decisions on accurate numbers.
Accounts Payable / Receivable Executive
Processes vendor invoices and payments with three-way matching, raises customer invoices, tracks receivables and aging, follows up on collections and keeps vendor and customer ledgers reconciled.
Tax & GST Compliance Specialist
Prepares and files GST returns, reconciles input tax credit with GSTR-2B, handles TDS deductions and quarterly returns, e-invoicing and e-way bills, and supports tax audits and departmental notices.
FP&A Analyst
Builds budgets, forecasts and financial models, tracks actuals against plan, analyzes unit economics and prepares board and investor reporting that explains what changed and why.
For Recruiters & Hiring Managers
How to Hire an Accountant You Can Trust With the Books
Accounting hires usually go wrong in one of two ways: the job description asks for everything from bookkeeping to board decks, or the interview never tests a single reconciliation. Use this checklist to scope the role and screen candidates, whether you hire with Zilo AI or on your own.
Writing the job post? Start from our Accountant Job Description, a template you can copy and edit.
Interview questions worth asking
- Your bank balance and the books do not match at month end. How do you find the difference?
- Input tax credit in the books does not match GSTR-2B. What do you check, and what do you do about it?
- Walk me through your month-end close checklist on your last job. What usually held it up?
- Which entries would you pass for an advance paid to a vendor, and again when the invoice arrives?
- Margins dropped last month. How would you work out why, and how would you present it to the founder?
- Tell me about an error you found in someone else's books. How did you raise it?
Separate Accountant From Analyst
Bookkeeping, GST filing and reconciliations are one job. Budgets, forecasts and board reporting are another. Decide which one you need most before writing the role, or hire for both in sequence.
Write an Accountant Job Description That Is Specific
Name the software, the entities, the filings the person will own and the reports they will produce each month. A clear accountant job description attracts people who have done that exact work.
Test With a Short Practical
A bank reconciliation, a few journal entries or a GST working from sample data shows more in a short exercise than an hour of questions about accounting standards.
Match the Software You Run
Moving between TallyPrime, Zoho Books, QuickBooks and SAP FICO takes time. Hire for your system, or allow for the learning curve in the first months.
Check Integrity for Payment Roles
Anyone with access to vendor payments, bank portals or petty cash needs careful reference checks and clear maker-checker controls from the first day.
Use Contract for Peaks
Contract staffing fits audit season, year-end close, leave cover and backlog clean-ups. Permanent hiring fits the person who will own your books and close every month.

Which accounting and finance roles can Zilo AI help us hire?
We hire accountants and financial analysts, accounts payable and receivable executives, tax and GST compliance specialists, FP&A analysts and finance managers or controllers.
Do you offer contract accountant staffing?
Yes. You can hire accountants on contract for audit season, year-end close, leave cover or a backlog clean-up, on contract-to-hire if you want to see their work before making an offer, or as permanent employees.
What should an accountant job description include?
List the accounting software, the number of entities, the filings the person will own such as GST and TDS returns, the reconciliations and reports expected each month, and who they report to. Leave out duties that really belong to a separate analyst or controller role.
How do you screen accountants?
Candidates are screened hands-on in TallyPrime, Zoho Books or SAP FICO, on GST returns and input tax credit reconciliation, TDS, bank and vendor reconciliations and month-end close, with extra attention to integrity for roles that handle payments.
Do we need an accountant or a financial analyst?
If the gap is accurate books, filings and reconciliations, hire an accountant. If the books are in order but leadership needs budgets, forecasts, variance analysis and board reporting, hire a financial or FP&A analyst. Many growing companies need the accountant first.
Can you hire a whole accounts team?
Yes. Through volume hiring we can staff an accounts desk for a new branch or business unit, for example accountants, AP/AR executives and a GST specialist, all screened the same way.
