CA Practice Management That Never Misses a Deadline
Nilkan tracks every GST, ITR, TDS and ROC obligation across all your clients, auto-generates the tasks, and reminds your team over WhatsApp and email — so your firm stays compliant and runs on autopilot.
Everything a Modern CA Firm Runs On
Replace the spreadsheets, the WhatsApp groups and the sticky notes with one system designed for the work — compliance tracking, clients, tasks, timesheets and billing, purpose-built for Indian CA practices.
Compliance Calendar
Every GST, ITR, TDS and ROC deadline on one visual, colour-coded calendar. Tasks are auto-generated for each obligation and linked to the right client and team member.
Return Tracking
Track the full filing lifecycle — period-based for monthly, quarterly and annual returns — with a clear status workflow from pending to filed to accepted or rejected.
Client & CRM
PAN, GSTIN, TAN, DSC, engagement letters, fee history and contacts in one record. Manage leads and prospects through a simple pipeline and tag clients by type, group or priority.
Tasks & Approvals
Assign, review and approve on Kanban boards or list view. Dependencies, checklists, comments, priority levels and reviewers keep every engagement on track.
DSC Tracker
Monitor every client's Digital Signature Certificate and get proactive alerts well before expiry — so filings are never blocked at the last minute.
Timesheets & Billing
Log billable and non-billable hours by task, convert timesheets to GST invoices in one click, and track payments and receivables with Razorpay integration.
Audit Management
Run multi-stage audit workflows, track procedures and findings, and generate clean PDF reports for every engagement.
Reminders & Notifications
Automated WhatsApp, email and in-app reminders for deadlines and pending tasks, plus a penalty calculator with grace periods so nothing slips.
Client Portal
Clients submit documents, view their filings and track statuses themselves — cutting the endless back-and-forth over email and WhatsApp.
Cloud Document Sync
Connect Google Drive or OneDrive over secure OAuth to store and sync client documents where your firm already works.
Reports & Analytics
Client-wise, return-wise and team-wise reports on filing trends, utilisation and profitability — exported to PDF or Excel in one click.
