How Audytee differs from what most firms use today
Most firms run on a general practice or task tool, a spreadsheet, or both. Those tools vary, so their column says what is typical, not what every product lacks. Try Audytee with your own clients and judge for yourself.

What Audytee does not do
If one of these matters most to your firm, another tool may suit you better, or alongside Audytee.
- File returns on the government portals. You file there and record the date and ARN; GST filing status can be read back through Sandbox.
- Keep your books. Invoices and receipts go to Zoho Books or Tally.
- Run payroll.
- Offer a phone app yet. The web app works on phones in the meantime.
- Cover tax rules outside India.
