The register goes in exactly as it arrived — wrong headers, merged cells, missing HSN codes. Smart Import maps the columns, validates every GSTIN, and stages the B2B / B2CS / export split without a single manual fix.

Three rows
don't agree.

GSTR-2B lands from the portal. Most of the purchase register agrees with it — and three lines don't. A short payment, a missing invoice, a doubled entry. This is the ITC the firm would have claimed wrong.

keeps moving.

Two desks.
One surface.

The article who prepared it and the partner who signs it usually live in different files. Here, the review happens on the same output the preparer built — exceptions, evidence, and the draft, side by side.

The day ends
with a pile.

Not a pile of tabs — a pile of artifacts. The reviewed workpaper, the reconciliation note that explains every held rupee, and the invoice for the work itself. Tomorrow starts clean.
