Job Description
Senior Accounts Executive
The KALA Group is a commodity business and an integrated commercial and industrial property group that owns, develops, and manages real estate in Sri Lanka, ranging from warehouses and large scale logistics facilities to retail and commercial office buildings. The KALA Group is seeking a dynamic, energetic, and self motivated individual to join our team.
CANDIDATE PROFILE
The candidate will be responsible for the Group's accounting, taxation, and finance operations, including:
- Sound knowledge and hands-on experience in accounting, finance, taxation, and statutory compliance (Inland Revenue filings, VAT, SSCL, WHT)
- Experience in commodity trading and import-related financial operations will be an added advantage.
- Strong working knowledge of an ERP system — including chart of accounts setup, transaction processing, and generating management and statutory reports (hands-on ERP implementation/migration experience is a definite advantage).
- A proactive, people-oriented leader — someone who communicates openly, coordinates confidently across departments, and motivates a small finance/admin team rather than working behind a desk.
- Ability to take ownership of the finance function, lead month-end and year-end closings, and support strategic decision-making at senior level.
- Strong understanding of internal controls, financial reporting (SLFRS/LKAS), and cash-flow management.
QUALIFICATION & EXPERIENCE
- Minimum 4–6 years of relevant experience, with at least 1–2 years in a supervisory or team-leading capacity.
- Prior experience in a Big Four audit firm will be an added advantage.
- Bachelor's degree in Management, Accounting, Taxation, or a related field from a recognized university.
- Partly or fully qualified in CIMA, ACCA, CA Sri Lanka, CMA Sri Lanka, or AAT Sri Lanka.
- Proven practical experience in Sri Lankan taxation — corporate income tax, VAT/SST, PAYE/APIT, and Inland Revenue e-filing — is essential.
- Hands-on proficiency in accounting software and ERP systems (e.g. QuickBooks, Sage, Tally, or a comparable ERP).
- Excellent communication skills in English, Sinhala, or Tamil.
- Proficient in Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel.
An attractive remuneration package, including commission, insurance, and yearly bonus, will be offered to the right candidate.
