Is Finkitaabh compliant with Indian regulations?
Yes. The ledger keeps an immutable audit trail compliant with MCA Rule 11(g), GST calculations cover CGST/SGST/IGST, composition scheme and reverse charge (RCM), the tax invoice is audited against all 18 mandatory particulars of Rule 46, and reimbursement invoicing follows Rule 33. GSTR-1 exports as the portal's own JSON schema, and GSTR-1, GSTR-3B and GSTR-9 all print in the official government form layout.
Can I reconcile my GSTR-2B against my purchase register?
Yes — invoice by invoice, not total against total. Upload the GSTR-2B you downloaded from the portal and every invoice is flagged as Matched, Tax mismatch, Missing in 2B (your supplier hasn't filed, so that credit is at risk) or Missing in books (a bill you may never have recorded). You get ITC as per books, ITC as per 2B and ITC safely matched side by side. GSTIN and invoice-number formatting is normalised and a supplier's multi-rate lines are folded back into one invoice, so formatting differences never create a false mismatch, and the paise tolerance is configurable.
Can I upload the GSTR-1 straight to the portal?
Yes. GSTR-1 exports as the exact e-filing JSON schema the portal's offline utility accepts — recipient-wise B2B grouped rate-wise, B2C consolidated, B2C-large above ₹1 lakh, credit and debit notes, the HSN summary, nil-rated and documents-issued. You download it and upload it; there is no re-keying. If your CA prefers to review first, the same return prints in the official form layout as PDF or Excel.
I already use another accounting system. How hard is it to switch?
Easier than you think, and you can do it mid-year. Pick a cut-off date, bulk-import your items and prices from Excel/CSV with smart header mapping, and your 48-account chart of accounts for Indian businesses is pre-configured from day one. Historical records stay where they are — we start from your opening balances, set up with you on a free onboarding call in Hindi or English. Most teams raise their first live invoice the same day.
Can my CA and my staff use the same account?
Absolutely — that's the point. Owners provision staff logins from the Users page and assign one of eight roles: owner, manager, accountant, assistant, store keeper, practitioner, read-only accountant and auditor, across 50 granular permissions checked in the service layer. Your CA sees what they need; sensitive data like client fee contracts stays owner and manager only, enforced by permission rather than convention.
I run multiple businesses. Do I need multiple subscriptions?
No. Finkitaabh is multi-tenant — manage multiple companies from one login with complete data isolation between them, enforced at the database level with PostgreSQL row-level security.
How does the AI bank reconciliation work?
Upload your bank statement as CSV, Excel or PDF. Finkitaabh extracts transactions from PDFs and suggests matches using amount, date and reference logic — wrong-account and non-statement uploads are blocked before processing. You confirm the matches, or let it auto-record receipts and disbursements, and your books stay in sync with your bank.
Does the AI scanning cost extra?
Core accounting, GST filing, invoicing and reconciliation are included in your plan. AI document scanning — reading bills, receipts and bank statements into reviewable drafts — is a metered add-on with transparent per-scan token billing, so you only pay for what you actually scan. It always produces a draft for your review and never auto-posts.
Will my data be safe?
Every login is protected with TOTP multi-factor authentication (Google Authenticator, with backup codes) and rotating refresh tokens with reuse detection. Every company's data is isolated with PostgreSQL row-level security, and every transaction is logged immutably — there are no edit or delete paths on posted entries. Money is stored as integer paise, so there are zero rounding errors.
