The reality

Finance ops is supposed to run like clockwork.
Not chase people for data.

01

Month end close bleeds into week two

Someone hasn't reconciled their expenses. A vendor invoice is missing. The GL isn't closed. You spend the first week of every month chasing the last one. It never gets faster.

02

Compliance deadlines live in one person's head

The GST deadline, the TDS filing, the audit prep it's all in the controller's calendar. If they're out, nobody knows what's due. This is how compliance fines happen.

03

No audit trail for who did what and when

The auditor asks who approved the vendor payment and when. You check email threads. Three people have different answers. The audit drags. Taro knows exactly who did what and when always.

lioTaro fixes all three. So finance ops runs without the firefighting.
How it works

What finance ops looks likewhen Taro is running it.

Recurring Sprints

Recurring Sprints

Month end close, quarterly filings, and annual audit prep are templated as recurring sprints. They auto create on schedule, auto assign to the right people, and auto remind before each deadline.

  • Month end close checklist as a recurring sprint
  • Compliance calendar with auto reminders
  • Template once, run every quarter
Approval Workflows

Approval Workflows

Every vendor payment, budget approval, or contract sign off flows through a structured approval chain. The right person is notified at the right step. Everything is logged and auditable.

  • Multi step approval automations
  • Full audit log who approved, when, why
  • Escalation if approval is overdue
Time vs. Budget Tracking

Time vs. Budget Tracking

Every project has an estimated effort. Taro tracks actual time spent per task and flags when a process is consuming more hours than budgeted before you're over, not after.

  • Estimated vs actual hours per project
  • Budget alert at configurable threshold
  • Export for billing and payroll systems
