A mid-sized accounting firm in India, serving over 50 active clients, was struggling with heavily manual bookkeeping, transaction categorization, and compliance tasks. With rapid client growth and evolving tax regulations across multiple countries, the firm needed a scalable solution to improve turnaround time, reduce manual errors, and free staff from repetitive tasks to focus on higher-value advisory roles.
The objective was to modernize workflows, accelerate reporting, and reposition the firm as a digital-first partner for its clients.
The firm’s inefficiencies stemmed from:
Manual-heavy processes in bookkeeping and reconciliations
Compliance risks due to frequent tax law changes across multiple geographies
Slow turnaround times for financial closures and reporting
Scaling limitations, as adding new clients required proportionally increasing staff
A solution was required to automate repetitive functions, ensure compliance, and enable staff reallocation to strategic financial consulting.
Integrated an AI-powered automation platform with Tally
Automated bookkeeping entries, transaction tagging, and anomaly detection
Introduced rule-based compliance alerts and automated adjustments for GST and tax law changes
Integrated with third-party banking APIs for real-time reconciliation
Deployed adaptive AI models to improve accuracy over time
- Scope Definition: End-to-end automation for data ingestion, classification, reconciliation, and compliance validation
- System Integration: Auto-pass entries, generate trial balances, and post directly into Tally
- Compliance Automation: Alerts for tax law updates, auto-adjustments for GST, and other regulatory changes
- Anomaly Handling: AI-driven error detection with human-in-the-loop workflows for exceptions
- Change Management: Staff onboarding to adapt to tech-driven workflows
While AI managed the majority of repetitive functions, some edge cases required manual oversight. The firm implemented structured human-in-the-loop workflows to review anomalies and AI misclassifications.
This hybrid approach ensured both speed and accuracy, allowing staff to oversee without reverting back to manual-heavy processes.

By automating repetitive tasks, the firm not only reduced costs and risks but also freed staff to focus on advisory roles — transforming its positioning in the market from a traditional accounting service provider to a technology-driven strategic partner.
