ABOUT US
Sanctuary https://sanctuary.co builds nature - led, wellness - centered communities that feel alive. Our first 135-acre residential community in the Texas Hill Country is designed with:

🌿 135 acres of preserved land and eco - sensitive planning
🏗️ Masonry construction
We are a global team (spread across 8 countries) of designers, architects, engineers, and dreamers building spaces that restore and inspire. For us, it’s not just where people live - it’s how they live.
Our vision is to bring Sanctuary to major cities around the world: healthy, sovereign communities that sit on the edges of every modern metropolis.
THE ROLE
Sanctuary is a US-based construction and development company operating across 7 to 8 US entities with different payment structures, plus an India entity based in Delhi. We are looking for a precise, ownership-driven Accountant to own the books for both our US and India entities.
Your first major task will be reconciling Sanctuary’s financial records in QuickBooks across the past 3 years. That means reviewing historical records, identifying discrepancies, and getting everything fully reconciled and up to date. From there, you will assist our finance team and own day-to-day accounting, payables, cash flow, and compliance across both countries.
This role is for someone who can walk into a fast-moving environment, figure out what needs to be done, and do it. If you need step-by-step direction or a ready-made SOP on day one, this role is not for you.
This is not a clock-in, clock-out role.
It is not basic bookkeeping.
It is not consolidating numbers someone else has already organized.
WHAT YOU’LL OWN
- Full ownership of the books across all US entities in QuickBooks Online and the India entity in Tally: entries, categorization, and accuracy
- Reconciling the past 3 years of records: backtracking all invoices paid to date, identifying outstanding amounts, and flagging what is still owed, to whom, and by when
- Tracking and managing all incoming and outgoing invoices across entities, including construction-side payments previously managed by the team
- Accounts payable end to end: knowing exactly which payments are due, to whom, and when
- Intercompany transactions and reconciliation between the US and India entities
- Consolidation of books of accounts between holding companies and subsidiaries
- Supporting the team in maintaining a forward-looking cash flow tracker so the team always knows what payments are coming and can communicate proactively with consultants and vendors if timelines shift
- Reconciling bank transactions, payment confirmations, and internal records regularly and accurately, with no missed entries and no approximations
- India payroll bookkeeping and coordination on statutory compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, PT, MCA filings) end to end, including coordination with any vendors on ground.
- Supporting documentation for construction draw applications and other external financial processes
- Flagging gaps, inconsistencies, and risks before they become problems
WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR
- 4 to 8 years of full-cycle accounting experience across both India and US books. That means not just bookkeeping and not just compliance, but both.
- Deep proficiency in QuickBooks Online (non-negotiable)
- Strong working knowledge of Tally
- Hands-on experience handling India statutory payroll compliance (PF, ESI, TDS, PT) yourself, not just overseeing a CA or vendor who does it
- Experience in managing accounts and consolidation for multiple entities simultaneously
- Obsessive attention to detail: you don’t miss large…
