RA bills go unraised. ITC slips through GST recon. Site cost centres get tagged wrong. AI Accountant fixes all three — books ready in 2 days, not 2 weeks.
Real conversations with finance leaders — about the work that's quietly burning their team out.
“Two full-time people. Just for data entry.”
“My team spends days mapping bank statements.”
“60 clean, 40 problematic — every single month.”
“250 invoices a month — and counting.”
“The same bill comes through four times — email, WhatsApp, courier, vendor portal.”
“My supplier's invoice never matches my books.”
Subcontractor RA bills, project cost centres, aging tracking, multi-entity reconciliation.
AiA carries the construction nuance into every Tally entry.
Tag every purchase to projects, sites, or equipment at the bill or line-item level. One steel delivery across three sites? AiA splits the cost using your saved allocation rules. Every Tally entry carries the right cost centre from day one.
Upload bills together. PDFs, scanned RA bills, RMC challans. AiA extracts vendor, GST, line items, TDS, retention, and due dates. Clean vouchers post into Tally with the right ledgers and cost centre tags attached.
Construction payments often take 90 to 150 days. AiA gives you a live aging view by client, site, RA bill, or equipment hire invoice. Your team follows up on the payments blocking the most working capital, not whoever called last.
AiA pulls statements across entities, site accounts, and OD accounts. Identifies inter-company transfers, matches receipts against invoices net of TDS, and keeps both sets of books in sync. Reconciliation that took days gets done overnight.
Why forward-thinking construction firms are making the switch.
Most construction teams cut their data-entry time by around 80%. That's roughly 30 hours a month per accountant, freed up for RA bill follow-ups, retention tracking, and the work that actually needs a human.
Site signs off the milestone, AiA pulls the costs already tagged to that project, and the RA bill is ready for review the same day instead of the following Monday. Six days of receivable aging, eliminated.
98% extraction accuracy across material bills, contractor vouchers, and RMC challans means fewer errors, cleaner cost-centre tagging, and project P&Ls that match your books.
Owners see live cash position, payables aging, and cost-centre spend on the dashboard, not in an email three days late.
Site-wise outstanding visibility cut weighted DSO by 53 days for equipment rental and contractor businesses. That's working capital you can put back into the next project instead of chasing the last one.
Why forward-thinking manufacturers are making the switch.
Manufacturing founders are reducing accounting workload, getting 3× output from the same team, and gaining better operational visibility.
"I really appreciate your 2B reconciliation that is very fast. AI can download things from online on immediate basis, that is something that is timesaving."
“Earlier, every fresher I hired and trained would leave within two or three months because of the pressure. After using Ai Accountant, the workload became manageable, and we were no longer dependent on a single person. Even my new accountant has now stayed with us for over seven months.”
“Our bill volume doubled, but we didn’t need to increase the accounting team size.”
No. AiA works alongside Tally Prime. It syncs masters from Tally, processes your data, and pushes clean entries back. Your team continues using Tally exactly as they do today.
Your core setup is completed within 2 to 3 days. After that, your team starts uploading bills and the system begins learning your patterns.
AiA replaces typing, not judgment. Your accountant moves from data entry to review and analysis, which is what you were paying them for. It also reduces burnout and attrition, and allows the same team to handle multiple branches.
Yes. Your data is stored on encrypted servers. AiA is ISO 27001 certified and SOC 2 Type II verified. All data is hosted on Indian infrastructure.
Pricing is volume-based. We share a custom quote during the demo after understanding your bill and bank statement volumes.
AiA works with Tally Prime (desktop or on-premise). It does not currently integrate with cloud-hosted Tally setups like AWS or other VPS providers.
We do not offer open trials. Every demo is conducted on your real bills. Bring 5 actual supplier invoices and we will process them live into your Tally. You see exactly what you are buying before paying anything.
Manufacturing accounting software is the system factories use to record financial transactions, manage vendor bills, reconcile inventory purchases, track production-related costs, and stay compliant with GST and tax filings. In India, this typically means Tally Prime, sometimes paired with automation tools like AiA, or with full ERPs like SAP Business One or Microsoft Dynamics for larger setups.
Three things make it harder than retail or services accounting. First, vendor bill volume is high. Raw material suppliers, contractors, transporters, and packaging vendors all send bills monthly. Second, cost-centre tracking across plants, projects, and product lines is non-negotiable for accurate margin visibility. Third, inventory and accounting must stay aligned. Vendor bill line items have to map to your Tally stock masters correctly, or your costing gets distorted downstream.
Yes. Tally Prime is the most widely used accounting software for manufacturing businesses in India. It handles inventory, GST, multi-godown stock, cost centres, and all statutory reporting. The limitation is not Tally itself. The limitation is that data entry into Tally is still manual. That is the gap automation tools like AiA fill.
Only if you need full production planning, material requirements planning, BOM-level costing, or shop-floor control. For most small and mid-sized Indian manufacturers, Tally plus an automation layer covers 90% of what an ERP would, at less than 5% of the cost. Once you cross ₹100 crore in turnover with complex multi-product BOMs, an ERP starts making real sense.
GSTR-2B is an auto-generated statement from the GSTN portal showing the input tax credit you can claim, based on what your suppliers have filed. For manufacturers, it matters because purchase volume is high. Any mismatch between your purchase register and GSTR-2B means lost input tax credit, delayed filings, or notices from the department. The reconciliation work scales linearly with vendor count, which is why most factories spend 1 to 2 days a month on this alone.
For most Indian manufacturers, books close 2 to 3 weeks after month-end, sometimes longer if accountants are also juggling GST filings. With automation, this drops to 5 to 7 days. The bottleneck is almost always purchase bill entry and bank reconciliation, not the statutory work itself.
Yes. Modern OCR combined with AI extracts handwritten bills with 95 to 98% accuracy, including kacchi receipts and bills written on supplier letterheads. This matters for Indian manufacturers because local raw material vendors, transporters, and small contractors still handwrite bills routinely. AiA was built specifically for this reality.
For most small and mid-sized factories, Tally Prime remains the best foundation. It is GST-native, widely supported, and your CA already knows it. The real question is what you pair it with. If data entry is the bottleneck, layer AiA on top. If you need full production planning and BOM costing, look at SAP Business One or NetSuite. Do not switch tools to solve a workflow problem. Fix the workflow first.
