Getting started

4 articles

Day-to-day

15 articles

Clients, projects and invoices

Add clients with GSTIN + state auto-fill. Send invoices — tax invoice, bill of supply, export invoice, receipt or credit note — start from an estimate, or split an invoice into a deposit + milestone schedule.

Estimates, deposits and payment schedules

Send an EST-numbered estimate with a hosted accept link — your client accepts with a typed name recorded with a timestamp — convert it to an invoice in one tap, and collect through a deposit or milestone schedule that chases itself.

The client portal and statements of account

One branded link shows your client their balance, open invoices with pay actions, estimates to accept, payment history and a statement download — plus how to run a per-client statement with running balance and ageing.

Getting paid faster

Reminder sequences on offsets you control with escalating tone, automatic late fees after a grace period, one-tap WhatsApp nudges, the net-7 terms nudge, and UPI Autopay on retainers (early access).

Payments received and TDS

Record every payment your clients make — link it to the invoice so it flips to paid automatically. Capture TDS your client deducted at source, reconcile against Form 26AS at year-end.

Expenses, ITC and reverse-charge

Log business expenses with CGST / SGST / IGST and claim input tax credit. Turn on reverse-charge when you (not the supplier) pay the GST.

Scan-to-Add — photograph a bill, get an expense

Point your camera at a bill and Finocket reads the vendor, date, total, GST split and GSTIN, prefilling the expense form — you check the numbers and save, with the photo kept attached.

Day Book, Cashbook and Outstanding

The three books you open every morning: chronological Day Book, cash-vs-UPI-vs-bank Cashbook, and Outstanding with WhatsApp reminders.

Bank reconciliation — match your statement to your books

Import a bank statement CSV and match each line to a recorded payment or expense, so your books agree with your bank and nothing goes unrecorded.

Inventory & stock — track what you have on hand

Turn on stock tracking for a product to get a running stock ledger: sales draw stock down automatically, low-stock items flag, and you record what you receive.

Sales & purchase orders

Raise sales and purchase orders, track them open→fulfilled, and convert a completed order into an invoice or a bill in one tap — kept out of your books until you do.

Cost centres — profit & loss per branch, project or team

Tag invoices and expenses to a cost centre and read a profit & loss for each one, so you can see which branch, project or team actually makes money.

Projects & time tracking — organise work and track billable hours

Group work under client projects and run a one-tap timer with an hourly rate and billable flag — then turn unbilled time into a draft invoice in a couple of taps.

Manufacturing & bill of materials

Define a bill of materials per finished product and record production runs — Finocket consumes the raw-material stock and adds the finished goods at their rolled-up cost.

Recurring rules — retainers, salaries & SIPs

Set a rule once — income, expense or invoice, daily to yearly with an every-N interval — and Finocket posts the entry on schedule, even when the app is closed. Invoice rules create drafts for you to review and send.

GST & filings

7 articles

GSTR-9 annual return summary

See a full financial-year GST summary built from your invoices and expenses — outward supplies by rate, ITC and tax paid — to prepare and cross-check before filing GSTR-9.

Reports, GSTR-1 / 3B and Hand-to-CA

Cashflow, income vs expenses, projects, GST returns (GSTR-1, 3B, 8, ITC summary), TDS summary and the one-tap Hand-to-CA ZIP bundle.

Financial statements — trial balance, P&L, balance sheet & cash flow

The four core statements built straight from your books — trial balance, profit & loss, balance sheet and cash flow — recomputed from every invoice, payment and expense, with a period picker and a clean CA handoff.

GSTR-8 reconciliation for marketplace sellers

Every month, diff your marketplace-derived invoices against each marketplace's settlement view. Catch mismatches before filing.

E-invoicing (IRN) and e-way bills

For GST-registered businesses under the e-invoice mandate: export the IRN payload JSON and UBL XML for IRP upload, and generate the e-way bill JSON for consignments of ₹50,000 and above.

GSTR-2B purchase reconciliation

Upload your GSTR-2B JSON from the GST portal and Finocket buckets every purchase — matched, tax mismatch, missing in books, missing in 2B — so you claim exactly the ITC you're entitled to.

Distributor finance — payables, price lists, challans, e-way bills & GSTR-2B

Run the full trading cycle: record purchase bills and age your payables, set per-customer credit limits and price lists, raise delivery challans and e-way bills, and reconcile purchases against GSTR-2B.

CRM & outreach

8 articles

CRM & deals — pipeline, follow-ups and the customer ledger

Work a sales pipeline inside your books — follow-ups on WhatsApp or email, a per-client money ledger, and consent-safe lead import.

Visits & field work — log site visits with voice notes

Record client site visits in seconds — dictate notes by voice, swipe to duplicate or delete, and check the muhurat strip before you schedule.

Forms and landing pages

Build hosted lead-capture forms and mobile landing pages with a first-class consent block — every submission stores the exact opt-in text as proof and lands in your CRM as a lead.

Email, campaigns and consent

Launch email campaigns with audience counts up front while one send chokepoint applies consent, suppression, quiet hours and your country's rules to every single message — blocked sends are logged, never silently dropped.

Email sequences (automatic follow-ups)

Build a day-offset email drip — enrol a contact once and each step sends automatically on schedule, with every step consent-checked and the whole sequence stopping instantly when someone unsubscribes.

Dynamic QR codes & scan tracking

Print a branded QR once and repoint it forever — the code encodes a short redirect, every scan is counted by day and device with hashed-IP privacy, and a scan that fills your form lands as an attributed lead.

Bring your own outreach keys (Email, WhatsApp, SMS)

Send on your own Email, WhatsApp and SMS provider accounts — keys are encrypted per workspace and never shown again, company keys apply to everyone while personal keys override them, and the consent chokepoint is unchanged.

Sending & deliverability

Prepare your domain with SPF, DKIM and DMARC for the dedicated-sending rollout, register your brand for US SMS (A2P 10DLC), and connect a Gmail or Outlook mailbox — nothing sends until a channel is fully set up.
