Chapter 01The problem
The diary of an ordinary month.
Nothing dramatic goes wrong. Small things slip, and the month closes in a panic.
- Day 3
Sales slips are in a drawer. “I’ll enter them this weekend.”
- Day 11
GSTR-1 date. The invoice list is half in Excel, half in a notebook.
- Day 20
Bank statement arrives. Two payments nobody can explain.
- Day 25
A bag of purchase bills is found in the office car.
- Day 30
Month-end. The owner asks, “Did we make money?” Nobody can say yet.
Chapter 02The turn
Now the same month, with a steady hand.
Vouchers posted as they happen. Bank matched weekly.
TDS deposited. Payroll posted.
GSTR-1 data reconciled and ready.
GSTR-3B prepared against matched credit.
Books closed. The owner reads the P&L.
