Hi Andrew, if you just got the tree and it looks healthy, do the right thing first - repot it into modern substrate in a pot with drainage holes (I would wash the old soil away and cut minimum of roots) and make sure you can take care of it for a year before doing any cuts.
"Indoor" trees are very delicate and it is usually pain to keep them happy.
Good luck.

Yes, I plan to repot before doing any major cuts but the serissa is not rootbound in the pot and seems to have been replanted somewhat recently. Would it still be safe to report this spring or would it be better to wait till the next repotting season? Thanks!

it doesn´t need to be rootbound, the point is to remove shitty transport substrate if this haven´t been done already.
