Frequently Asked Questions
How does Tally automation help CA firms?
Automation reduces manual data entry by 80%, allowing CA firms to process 1000+ invoices/day instead of 100-200. Staff can focus on advisory services, client relationships, and business growth instead of repetitive typing.
Can I handle more clients with automation?
Yes, automation allows you to scale from 50 clients to 100+ clients without hiring more staff. With automation, one staff member can handle what previously required 2-3 people.
What is the ROI for CA firms?
For a CA firm with 50 clients processing 50 invoices/month each (2500 invoices total), automation saves 200+ hours monthly. At ₹500/hour, that's ₹100,000/month or ₹1.2 million/year in savings. Use our ROI calculator for your specific numbers.
Does automation work with multiple Tally instances?
Yes, TrulyInvoice can work with multiple Tally instances. Each client's Tally can have a unique Port 9000 configuration, and the connector handles routing to the correct instance.
How to onboard clients for automation?
Share the upload link with clients. They can send invoices via WhatsApp, email, or upload directly. The AI extracts data, you review, and sync to their Tally. Onboarding takes 10 minutes per client.
Is client data secure?
Yes, each client's data is isolated. TrulyInvoice encrypts data in transit and at rest. Tally sync happens locally on your computer—data never leaves your network during sync. SOC 2 compliant infrastructure.
Can automation handle GST reconciliation?
Yes, automation speeds up GSTR-2B reconciliation by extracting purchase data automatically. You still need to review, but the data extraction step is automated, saving 60-70% of reconciliation time.
What about client communication?
Automation reduces follow-up burden. You can send automated WhatsApp reminders for missing invoices. The system tracks which invoices are received and which are pending.
How long does implementation take?
Setup takes 5 minutes for the connector. Client onboarding takes 10 minutes per client. Most CA firms are fully operational within 1-2 weeks for all clients.
Will automation replace my staff?
No, automation replaces repetitive data entry work, not staff. Your staff can focus on review, analysis, advisory services, and client acquisition. You can grow revenue without hiring more data entry staff.
What training is required?
