fento.tech / automated accounting
Free your CA from the spreadsheet. Continuous compliance, continuous reconciliation, and continuous visibility. Your CA focuses on exceptions and advises. Everything else runs automatically.
§02 / your ca gets their time back
Your CA spends time on judgment, not data entry.
Most firms are capacity-constrained by monthly preparation work. fento removes that routine workload so your CA can focus on review quality, sign-off, and strategic guidance.
Your current CA firm
- Handles 40-60 clients per CA.
- Spends 8-12 hours per client each month.
- Time goes to data entry, reconciliation, and filing preparation.
With fento
- Supports 150-200 clients with the same CA headcount.
- Spends 20 minutes per client on exception judgment and sign-off.
- Gets live visibility into cash position, working capital, and payment patterns.
Your CA still signs every filing. The difference: 20 minutes of review instead of 10 hours of manual preparation.
§03 / who this is for
Built for SMEs whose CAs need leverage.
Your CA is operating under a structural capacity constraint: too many clients, too much preparation work, and too little advisory time. Fento removes routine prep burden so your CA can focus on judgment and proactive advice.
We are not replacing your CA. We are giving your CA back time so they can supervise compliance, catch issues early, and advise your business before deadlines become emergencies.
§04 / architecture
System-CA handoff for compliance execution.
The system handles routine preparation. Your CA handles judgment. Here is the handoff from ingestion to sign-off.
- 01
Continuous data normalisation
Bank feeds, GST portal, and Tally exports merged into a single ledger in real-time. Your CA sees this daily, not after month-end.
- 02
Routine classification
Standard transactions auto-classified across GST, TDS, payroll, and reconciliation volume. Your CA focuses on exceptions and judgment, not the entire ledger.
- 03
Exception scoring
Low-confidence items ranked by financial and compliance risk. Your CA sees immediately which items need judgment across all active clients.
- 04
CA review queue
A licensed Chartered Accountant reviews flagged items and makes judgment calls. This takes minutes per client, not hours of preparation.
- 05
Automated filing execution
Once your CA approves the computations, filings are prepared and submitted on schedule. The CA reviews and signs off rather than filling forms manually.
- 06
Decision-level audit logging
Every automated action and every CA override is stored with supporting inputs and reasoning, creating a permanent, defensible record.
§05 / what your ca now focuses on
What your CA now focuses on each month
Every month, your CA spends focused time on judgment instead of preparation:
- Exception review on GST, TDS, payroll, and reconciliation computations.
- Cash flow and tax signals, including due-date and concentration risk.
- Strategic advising on business changes that need immediate attention.
- Filing certification with CA sign-off on prepared outputs, not form-filling from scratch.
Everything else runs on autopilot. Filing deadlines stay on schedule, and your CA can supervise more clients without reducing quality.
§06 / for ca practitioners
Built to make CA practices more valuable.
fento is designed for firms that want stronger client outcomes without scaling headcount linearly. You still own the relationship, you still make the calls, and you still sign.
- Automated compliance foundation that your team reviews and certifies.
- Client-level dashboards with live financial position, not month-end reconstruction.
- Exception queues that surface judgment work, not hundreds of line-item checks.
- Decision audit trails that make your work defensible and visible to clients.
One CA can supervise significantly more clients, revenue per CA increases, and hiring pressure drops because the practice becomes judgment-led rather than data-processing-led.
fento is available to CA firms through a partnership program for their client base.
§07 / data
Ground-truth SME financial datasets.
Real GST filings, real transaction flows, real reconciliation behaviour, real payment timing patterns. Data captured at the source, not reconstructed from year-end statements.
This produces risk signals unavailable to lenders underwriting from balance sheets alone - the basis for credit infrastructure built on how a business actually operates rather than how it reports.
This ground-truth dataset is also the foundation for our credit infrastructure in Phase 4, where working capital decisions can use actual operating patterns instead of year-end statements.
§08 / security
Financial-grade data handling.
Reviewer decisions are used to improve fento's classification engine. This data is processed internally and never shared across client accounts or with third parties. No raw client financial data is exposed to external AI providers or used to train foundation models outside fento's system.
Client financial data is processed in isolated environments. No data is shared across accounts. Decision-level audit logs are retained for every automated filing action — the inputs that produced a decision, the model's output, and any reviewer override.
§09 / roadmap
