Accounts Associate in Navi Mumbai | iTeach Schools | ₹3.36-4.2 LPA

iTeach Schools

The quality of school education open to students from low-income communities across India is very poor. Their chances of reaching college or building a career are far lower than those of their high-income peers, which leaves them with little voice and little choice. iTeach Schools was started in 2015 to change that and to build a level playing field for all children. It runs free, high-impact schools and a college-to-career programme for the most disadvantaged students in Pune and Navi Mumbai, and is known for its professional development, its result-oriented team culture and its student-centric school design. This role sits within iTeach Schools' accounts and finance function, which keeps the money records of every school and the central office accurate, compliant and ready for audit.
