By the Numbers: How Automated Tally Entries Slashed Tax Filing Time by 60% in 2024–2025

Let’s be honest—tax season has never been kind to accountants.

Whether you're managing a tight portfolio of SMEs or overseeing the books of a mid-size enterprise, March to July can feel like a long hallway of stress, bottlenecks, and last-minute reconciliations. But what if I told you that a growing number of accounting firms have quietly trimmed their tax filing workload by 60%—sometimes more—in just one year?

That’s not a marketing headline. That’s automation at work.

And at the heart of this shift? A deceptively simple game-changer: automated Tally entries, powered by tools like VouchrIt.

“From Chaos to Clean Books” — The Shift Is Real

Back in 2023, most CA firms and internal finance departments were still wrestling with some version of this workflow:

• Download bank statements (PDFs, CSVs…whatever the bank gave you)

• Manually convert them into Excel

• Manually feed that data into Tally (hello, Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V)

• Triple-check every line for GST mapping, narration, voucher class, cost center

• Pray the audit doesn’t uncover a misplaced entry
  
  

It was tedious. Error-prone. And frankly, a terrible use of highly-skilled professionals.

Fast forward to late 2024: early adopters of VouchrIt’s accounting automation report an average of 55–60% reduction in tax filing prep time. Some saw even more drastic numbers in environments where purchase entry in Tally had previously been manual and messy.

Let me break that down.
