Office Assistant for Book Publisher
Budget: ₹12,500 – ₹37,500 INR
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.
