TATA INSTITUTE OF SOCIAL SCIENCES (TISS) Admin cum Account Officer Recruitment 2026 - 1 Vacancy

This role is ideal for commerce graduates or postgraduates with 3-5 years of dedicated experience in accounting and financial management. Candidates with prior experience in the NGO or development sector are particularly well-suited. Essential skills include strong knowledge of accounting principles, statutory compliance (TDS, GST, FCRA), and proficiency in accounting software like Tally, ERP, and MS Excel. The position requires a detail-oriented individual capable of managing budgets, supporting audits, and ensuring financial documentation accuracy within a project focused on social development.

Individuals lacking a degree in Commerce (B.Com/M.Com) or a directly related field, or those without the specified 3-5 years of experience in financial and accounting management, should not apply. A lack of proficiency in key accounting software such as Tally or ERP, or insufficient knowledge of statutory compliance, will be a significant barrier. This is a contract-based position; candidates seeking permanent government employment will find this unsuitable.

Working with the Tata Institute of Social Sciences (TISS), a well-respected Deemed University, offers significant academic and professional prestige. The TANDA project focuses on crucial social development initiatives, providing an opportunity to contribute to meaningful community mainstreaming efforts. While a contract role, it offers valuable experience within a reputable research and educational institution, enhancing one's professional profile, particularly for those passionate about social impact and development sector finance.
