Ica (Institution Of Computer Accountants Back Office)

Down in Nimta, at 1 No. Ramkrishna Pally, you'll find our back office. It is located in a part of Kolkata where things feel a bit more traditional compared to the city center. We spend a lot of time looking at numbers and spreadsheets. It’s the kind of work that requires quiet, but the neighborhood isn't always that way. You can hear kids playing outside or the occasional rickshaw bell ringing. We have a few computers that are a bit older, but they work fine for what we need. The desks are crowded with folders and pens that always seem to go missing when you need one. We aren't a big corporation with a fancy lobby. People just walk in, and we're right there. Sometimes we share snacks during the break, mostly whatever someone brought from home that day. It gets quite humid in the summer, and we just make do with the ceiling fans. We handle a lot of the behind-the-scenes stuff for the accounts training. It isn't glamorous, but it is necessary. Every day feels a bit different depending on how much paperwork has piled up from the main office. We try to keep things organized, even if the shelves look a bit cluttered. It’s a good spot to work because it feels like home, and we aren't under too much pressure to look perfect. We usually lock up around six and walk down to the main road to catch a bus. It is a steady, simple routine that we have followed for years.
