I run a growing independent book-publishing house and need steady, detail-driven support that lets me stay focused on authors and new titles. Your day will move between four core activities: • Data entry – recording royalty statements, inventory counts and vendor invoices directly in Tally and, when needed, simple Excel sheets. • Scheduling – keeping my calendar organised, confirming meetings with editors, designers and printers, and sending polite reminders. • Email management – triaging the shared inbox, flagging anything that needs my immediate eyes, and drafting brief replies where you have the information. • Billing – preparing outgoing invoices to retailers and checking incoming bills against purchase orders before filing them in Tally. Accuracy and consistency are crucial. At the close of each business day I expect a short update noting work completed, open questions and anything that might cause a delay. Tally proficiency is non-negotiable because all our accounting and royalty tracking lives there. Comfortable use of standard Microsoft Office or Google Workspace apps will make the workflow smoother, but I can provide quick pointers if you are rusty. All communication is in English, we operate on GMT+5:30, and I reply quickly during business hours so you are never left waiting for clarification. If you are organised, proactive and enjoy the rhythm of publishing, this should be a straightforward, ongoing engagement.
