• Prepare and file GST returns — GSTR-1 and GSTR-3B, under senior review
• Support TDS compliance — workings, deductions, payments, and returns, under senior review
• Compute advance tax periodically for your client portfolio
• Prepare supporting workings for annual income-tax filings, under senior review
• Learn and apply AI in delivery — the AI Accountant product and AI workflows, from week one
• Track work in JIRA — pick up tasks, update status, flag blockers, with senior review before sign-off
