Quick question for CA friends — how long does your team spend on GSTR-2A reconciliation per client per month? Trying to understand the problem better.

On average, for a mid-sized client, GSTR-2A/2B reconciliation takes about 2 to 4 hours per month if done manually via Excel. Large firms with 100+ clients often report losing over 100 staff hours per month solely to this process, which is why many are moving toward AI-based or API-linked reconciliation tools to cut that time by 70-80%.

 

How many clients is your team currently managing, and are you still relying on VLOOKUPs or have you moved to a dedicated tool?

We currently handle around 25–30 clients and still on Excel/VLOOKUP. The manual process is killing our month-end. I'm actually building a tool to automate exactly this — upload GSTR-2A + purchase register, get a clean mismatch report in minutes. Would love your honest feedback on whether this would be useful for a firm like yours. Can we connect?

Still relying on Excel/VLOOKUP. The manual process is painful at month-end. Would love to hear what tools others have tried
