BUILT FOR SMALL CA FIRMS

Finalise client files faster.
Keep partner review in control.

SignReady works alongside Tally and Excel. Your team analyses the TB, chases client queries, prepares draft statements and catches final inconsistencies — and the partner reviews a cleaner file, without moving to a heavy audit system.

Then from ₹2,999/year for 15 finalisations — ₹200 per finalisation · No implementation · No migration

Less partner rework

The partner starts from flagged points and open queries, not from every ledger.

More consistent staff work

A guided, repeatable path from TB to sign-off, the same for every client.

Fewer last-minute misses

FinalCheck, applicability and reporting prompts before the report is signed.

Faster client follow-up

Queries, replies and attachments in one place, shared on WhatsApp or email.

Keep Tally. Keep Excel.
No migration. No implementation.

Built for small CA firms — not for firms that want another heavy audit-management system. Export the TB you already have, upload it, and start.

What stays the same

  • Books stay in Tally or your accounting software
  • Your own Excel workings and formats
  • Your audit procedures and evidence
  • Every judgement and conclusion — the partner's, not the software's

Staff prepare. SignReady flags. The partner signs.

The work moves to your team without the partner losing sight of it.

1

Staff prepare

Upload the TBs, map ledgers, raise client queries and build the draft statements — on the files they are given.

2

SignReady flags

Material movements, ratios, broken ties, applicability and reporting points, open queries and pending steps.

Partner reviews and signs

One progress view per client, steps closed with reasons or conditions, and a recorded partner sign-off.

Your finalisation process already works.
SignReady simply makes the common work easier.

Designed for finalising the accounts of companies, LLPs, firms and proprietors — before the company or tax audit report is signed — and other financial-statement assignments handled primarily through Tally and Excel.

DRAFT FINANCIAL STATEMENTS · NEW

Turn a mapped TB into a review-ready Excel draft.

Upload the TB and SignReady prepares an editable Excel draft: Balance Sheet, Statement of Profit & Loss, cash flow statement and notes, with previous-year figures. Figures are linked by formulas, so edits flow through.

✓ Companies — Schedule III
✓ Firms, LLPs, proprietors
✓ Cash flow (indirect)
✓ Ratios, ageing, EPS, MSME notes
✓ Ledger-wise note breakups
✓ Checked by FinalCheck

COMPANY AUDIT REPORTING · NEW

Start reporting from a controlled draft — not a blank Word file.

For company audits, SignReady lays out every CARO 2020 clause with what the books show — fixed assets, stock, party-wise loans, borrowings, statutory dues, cash losses — next to suggested wording. It drafts the Independent Auditor's Report on ICAI's illustrative format, with current Rule 11 reporting and the IFC annexure where it applies.

✓ All CARO 2020 clauses
✓ Figures pulled from the TB
✓ Auditor's report + Rule 11
✓ IFC annexure (where applicable)
✓ Word / PDF, one file
✓ You decide every answer

CLIENT QUERIES · NEW

Stop chasing audit queries across WhatsApp chats and email threads.

Turn review points into client queries and share one private link — by WhatsApp or email. The client replies and attaches documents without logging in. Or invite the client's accountant to that one finalisation: they upload TBs, map ledgers, prepare the draft statements and answer queries, while materiality, review points and your working papers stay with the firm.

SECOND REVIEW · NEW

One last structured check before the partner signs.

Upload the trial balance with financial statements and an audit report prepared in Word, Excel or another software. SignReady flags common reporting and consistency points for partner review — small-company and CARO applicability, Rule 11 and CARO 2020 reporting, key figures against the books, ratios and frequent template slips — as a list in Excel with a column for each response. It reads the documents, not your audit evidence: the conclusions stay with the partner.

Overall and performance materiality worked out from the TB, with the working shown — and used as the limit for review flags.

08

Both Years, One Upload

Upload Tally's comparative trial balance and SignReady creates the current- and previous-year TBs from one file.

09

Partner Sign-off

A clear journey to sign-off. Steps can close "subject to" a condition — such as the MRL — tracked until it is cleared.

Why SignReady instead of a full audit suite?

Big audit suites are built to run an entire firm on one platform. SignReady does the finalisation work a small firm actually does — faster, cheaper and without changing how you work.

Focused on purpose: SignReady does not do vouching, GST / TDS reconciliation or timesheets — keep using Tally and your tax software for those. Already on a full suite? FinalCheck and Second review work on statements from any software.

SECURITY & CONFIDENTIALITY

Your clients' data stays private.

Financial information is sensitive. Here is exactly how SignReady protects it.

Cloudflare protection

Every request reaches SignReady through Cloudflare's network, which helps filter attacks and abusive traffic before it reaches our server.

Encrypted, secure logins

All traffic uses HTTPS. Passwords are stored only as one-way hashes, repeated wrong attempts are limited, and the login cookie is locked to HTTPS and hidden from scripts.

Private file storage

Uploaded files get random names in a folder the web cannot reach. They open only through SignReady, after a check of who is asking — on every request.

Access you control

Partners see the whole firm; staff see all files or only the finalisations you add them to; a client's accountant sees one file — never your materiality, review points or working papers.

No AI, no selling, no ads

The contents of client files are never sent to AI services or used to train AI. We do not sell data or use it for advertising.

You control deletion

Delete a file, a finalisation or all your client data at any time. If a plan lapses, client data is deleted 180 days after it ends — with emails 30, 7 and 1 days before.

DPDP
Act, 2023

Built around India's Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023

For your clients' data, your firm decides the purpose and SignReady processes it only on your instructions — set out in a Data Processing Addendum. Our Privacy Policy explains what we collect and why; requests to see, correct or erase data go to a named grievance officer; and the data retention policy says exactly when data is deleted.

Questions a CA firm may ask

How does the free trial work?

Your first three finalisations are free, once per firm, with every tool included. After the third finalisation, choose Starter (₹2,999 + GST, up to 15 finalisations a year), Plus (₹5,999 + GST, up to 30 a year), Firm (₹11,999 + GST, up to 60 a year) or Growth (₹24,999 + GST, unlimited). The same limit also applies to any one financial year. No credit card is needed to start.

Do I have to stop using Tally or Excel?

No. SignReady is designed to sit alongside your existing process. Prepare and maintain your accounts as you do today, and use SignReady for the specific analysis, review and documentation tasks you need.

Is this a complete audit-management system?

No. SignReady is a light end-to-end finalisation workspace for small CA firms: TB analysis, client queries, draft statements, checks and working papers. It drafts the CARO 2020 annexure and the auditor's report for companies, for your review. It does not do vouching, ledger scrutiny, GST/TDS reconciliation, Form 3CD, timesheets or billing — those stay in Tally and your tax software — and it is not a substitute for professional judgement.

Does SignReady replace professional judgement?

No. SignReady highlights calculations, inconsistencies, movements and potential review points. The auditor decides the nature and extent of further procedures and reaches the professional conclusion.

Can I use it for tax audits as well as company audits?

Yes. TB comparison, analytical review, ratios, revised-TB comparison and review documentation can be useful across tax audits, company audits, LLP/partnership audits and similar financial-statement assignments.

Is SignReady just ChatGPT with a prompt?

No. SignReady runs the same fixed calculations, comparisons and CA-designed review checks on every file, so results are repeatable and explainable. Client files are not sent to any AI service.

What counts as one finalisation?

One finalisation = one client + one financial year. Revised TBs, re-running FinalCheck, exports and documents for the same client and year are all part of that one finalisation — even if both a company audit report and a tax audit report are later signed on those accounts. A finalisation is counted only when you first upload a file or create a document for it.

Which files can I upload?

Trial balances exported from Tally (TallyPrime or ERP 9) to Excel, or any Excel (.xlsx) / CSV trial balance with ledger names and closing balances — one year, or both years side by side in one file. For FinalCheck, upload the financial statements as an Excel workbook (Balance Sheet, P&L and Notes). PDF files are not accepted, because figures cannot be read from them reliably. See how to export from Tally.

What if we need more finalisations during the year?

Upgrade anytime during the plan year by paying only the difference: for example Starter to Plus (30 a year) for ₹3,000 + GST, Plus to Firm (60 a year) for ₹6,000 + GST, or Firm to Growth (unlimited) for ₹13,000 + GST. Finalisations you have already started always remain available.

Can my staff use it?

Yes. Partners invite staff with their own PracticeGuru logins. Partners see every finalisation; each staff member sees only the finalisations a Partner adds them to. Only Partners manage the team and subscription and can acknowledge a review. Staff do not use extra finalisations. You can also invite the client's accountant to a single finalisation: they upload TBs, map ledgers, prepare the draft statements and answer queries, but cannot see materiality, review points, working papers or your other clients.

Does SignReady help me plan what applies to a client?

Yes — as a planner for the partner, not an automatic compliance decision. From a few yes / no answers and the trial balances, the Client details page suggests what may apply for the year — small company, cash flow statement, CARO 2020, internal financial controls reporting, CSR, internal and secretarial audit, SMC / MSME status, Ind AS, LLP audit and tax audit — each in one line with the figures and the rule. Tests the books cannot fully show (such as borrowings at any time in the year) are marked for you to confirm. The partner decides; where you differ from the suggestion, you record the reason, and it goes into the finalisation file.

Can SignReady check statements and an audit report made in other software?

Yes — the Second review. Upload the trial balance with the financial statements and the audit report as Word, Excel or a PDF saved from them. SignReady flags common reporting and consistency points for partner review (Excel and PDF). It reads the documents only — it does not see your audit evidence, so it is not an audit opinion and will not find every error. Scanned or photographed PDFs cannot be read — upload the original file. It counts as one finalisation.

Does SignReady draft CARO 2020 and the audit report?

Yes, for companies — as drafts for the engagement partner. The CARO working paper shows every clause with what the books indicate and suggested wording; the auditor's report follows ICAI's illustrative format with current Rule 11 reporting, and adds the IFC annexure where it applies. SignReady never selects an answer or the opinion for you: you choose and edit every clause before downloading to Word or PDF.

Can I get a refund?

Yes. If SignReady is not right for your firm, ask for a full refund within 7 days of your first payment. Refund policy.
