Who it's for

We build software for accounting practices and finance teams: client portals, compliance calendars, GST reconciliation, e-invoicing and e-way bill integrations, document collection, and connectors to Tally and Zoho Books. The aim is fewer email chases and fewer re-keyed numbers during filing season.

Taking the chasing out of compliance work

For a CA firm or bookkeeping practice, most hours do not go into accounting judgement. They go into collecting purchase invoices, bank statements and sales data from clients, reconciling them, and meeting monthly GST and TDS due dates across dozens or hundreds of entities.

We build client portals and internal tools that collect documents on a schedule, match purchase registers against GSTR-2B, track every client's filing status, and push clean entries into Tally or Zoho Books. For in-house finance teams, the same building blocks support e-invoicing, e-way bills and month-end close.

Challenges

Where accounting practices lose hours

  1. Document chasing

    Clients send invoices late, in mixed formats, over email and WhatsApp, usually close to the due date.

  2. Input tax credit matching

    Reconciling purchase registers with GSTR-2B line by line is slow when vendor names and invoice numbers differ.

  3. Deadlines at scale

    GST, TDS, advance tax, ROC and income-tax dates across many clients live in spreadsheets.

  4. Typing the same numbers twice

    Figures are entered into Tally, the GST portal and client reports separately.

Tools we build for firms and finance teams

  • Client portal

    Scheduled document requests, phone-camera uploads and each filing's status visible to the client.

  • GST reconciliation

    Fuzzy matching of purchase registers with GSTR-2B, mismatch reports and vendor follow-up lists.

  • E-invoicing and e-way bills

    IRN and QR generation through a GST Suvidha Provider, with e-way bills created from the same invoice data.

  • Compliance calendar

    Per-client due dates, staff assignment, reminders and a partner view of what is pending.

  • Tally and Zoho Books connectors

    Vouchers and masters synced through Tally's XML interface or the Zoho Books API, with an error queue.

How it works

How a month of GST work flows through a CA firm

The same cycle repeats every month for every client, which is why small time savings add up quickly.

  1. Client portal

    Step 1: Client uploads bills and statements

    A scheduled request asks each client for purchase bills and bank statements, which they upload from a phone camera or forward by email.

  2. Extraction service

    Step 2: AI reads each document

    GSTIN, invoice number, date and tax amounts are pulled out with a confidence score, and unclear fields are marked for review.

  3. Firm staff

    Step 3: Staff check the flagged fields

    Staff correct only what the software was unsure about, while GSTIN formats and invoice totals are cross-checked automatically.

  4. Reconciliation engine

    Step 4: Purchases matched with GSTR-2B

    Entries are paired with supplier-filed data even when names and invoice numbers differ slightly, and mismatches become a vendor follow-up list.

  5. Sync agent

    Step 5: Entries posted to Tally or Zoho Books

    Approved vouchers post to the client's books. A failure, such as a missing ledger, comes back to a fix-it queue instead of disappearing.

  6. Partner dashboard

    Step 6: Filing status tracked per client

    Each return shows as pending, prepared or filed, so partners see which clients are at risk before the due date.

Then it starts again at step 1: Client uploads bills and statements

Plain-English glossary

Accounting software terms, in plain words

GST Suvidha Provider (GSP)
A government-authorised intermediary that gives software approved API access to GST systems for e-invoices, e-way bills and return data. Using one avoids scraping the portal or collecting clients' passwords.
Fuzzy matching
Pairing records that are nearly but not exactly the same, such as a supplier name spelt two ways. It lets reconciliation match invoices that a strict comparison would leave in the mismatch pile.
Confidence score
A number the AI attaches to each value it reads, showing how sure it is. Low scores send the document to a person, so you gain speed without trusting every reading blindly.
Sync agent
A small program on the computer that runs Tally, passing data between Tally and the web app. It queues changes while that computer is switched off, so nothing is lost.

Product preview

What clients, staff and partners see

  • Accounting software client portal documents for September on a phone, with 3 entries
    Client portal. Clients see exactly which documents are due and upload them from a phone, so staff stop chasing through calls and WhatsApp messages.
  • Accounting software firm workspace GSTR-2B mismatches table in a web browser, with 3 rows and status labels
    Firm workspace. Staff work through only the mismatches, with the reason shown, and send vendor follow-ups from the same screen.
  • Accounting software partner dashboard in a web browser, with key figures and a chart
    Partner dashboard. Partners see which clients might miss a due date and how much input tax credit depends on vendor follow-up.

Cost drivers

What drives effort in accounting software

  1. Integration targets

    Tally (desktop, needs a local sync agent), Zoho Books (cloud API) and GSP APIs each carry different effort.

  2. Document variety

    Printed GST invoices are easier to extract than handwritten bills or scanned bank statements.

  3. Multi-entity structure

    Firms handling many GSTINs, branches and staff roles need careful permissions and bulk actions.

Estimates are written from your scope, with the effort and assumptions behind each line item.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Can your software sync with Tally Prime?

Yes. Tally runs on a local machine, so we usually install a small sync agent there that talks to Tally through its XML over HTTP interface, pushing vouchers and pulling masters and ledgers. The agent queues changes when the machine is offline and reports failures, such as a missing ledger, back to the web app for someone to fix. For Tally hosted on a remote server, the same agent runs on that server instead.

Do you scrape the GST portal to get return data?

No. Scraping is fragile and pushes clients to share portal passwords. For e-invoicing, e-way bills and return data, we integrate through a GST Suvidha Provider (GSP) or an application service provider built on one, which offers authorised API access with the taxpayer's consent. Some workflows, such as importing GSTR-2B, can also run from files clients download themselves. We choose the route based on volume, cost and how much automation you need.

Is AI accurate enough to read purchase invoices?

For printed GST invoices, extraction handles most fields well, but not every time: skewed photos, handwritten bills and unusual layouts cause errors. So we design it as assistance. Each field carries a confidence score, low-confidence documents go to a reviewer, and GSTIN formats and totals are cross-checked before posting. The saving comes from reviewing instead of typing, and we measure accuracy on your own documents during a pilot.
